cool
that's what i'm saying
No not that kind of why
^
Like why make it cannon
Fair
would also mean we might be able to clash with yharim directly
maybe the devs wanted to give melee another miracle weapon
This is still post scal though
ye but if they retiered it
to post exos
they would need to nerf the shit out of it
which would be annoying to do
Wouldn’t be the first time
true
i will say it again
Nor the last I imagine
there better be an upgrade to the Ark of the Cosmos for post-yharim
i want to beat noxus and xeroc with the weapon line that's been with us since the start
Isn’t post yharim just gonna be shadowspec stuff
ark of the shadows
Since you killed slime god*
by the time yharim comes, i assume they are gonna add more of combination between ashes of annihlation and miracle matter
Or hive mind, ig
which would be actually canon
we need a weapon like this for every class
that would be so cool
primordial darkness imbued with horrors of the abyss
Deals 1 damage to xeroc
miracle-er matter
(Better than zero)
(everything else deals 0)
that would be such a dumb gimmick now that i think about it
each class gets 1 end-game weapon
you have to merge all the others together
only those can do damage to xeroc
That would mean every weapon has the “material” tag which will be confusing to new players
They might think their favorite weapon has a cool new upgrade later when in reality 90% of them would just become the same shit
true
is providence being stronger at night explained?
Not yet
WILL it be explained in the future?
She wants to burn the world to ash, which is arson
Arson is committed commonly at night
LORE
🔥🔥🔥
popcorn you mad genius
stars at night make magic much stronger 
listen when permafrost spits knowledge
☝️
If that's the case then why doesn't SCal get a massive magic boost during night
do you not see the filter she puts on?
she makes it night when we fight
omni powerscale that feat rn that must be multiverse+ or something
It's more of jsut a black void then night
That night increasing magic does explain why you can only fight Calamitas Clone at night
nah cuz scal isnt that great at normal magic
so she has special rules or something
providence gets a major boost because she gets eepy
im just going off of draetalk lol
i get it
When Yharim realized that the Archmage had defected, Calamitas was ordered to hunt down and kill her former mentor. After a tearful confrontation, she decided to instead seal him away, and fake his death. The spellwork present in this living seal is inspired, and a tragic homage to every lesson Permafrost taught his student.
going by what the bestiary says
i'd say this imprisonment spell is the peak of her magical skill
also necromancy
Does'nt using brimstone magic destroy her mentally.... or is that old lore?
it does
its in one of her things
but shes built different
i think bestiary
I'd say she's very mentally screwed up, PTSD and all
"Yet despite her great power, Calamitas prefers not to use it, as it takes a heavy toll on her psyche."
this is from the brimstone witch entry
Everyone simps for calamitas... but sleeps on calamitas clone
casually refights terrarian for the 1000th time
brimstone witch is the npc bestiary entry
Yeah, one for her boss and one for her as an NPC
"My magic takes a great toll on me, I cannot use it willy-nilly."
"Wanna spar again?"
"Hell yeah."
what does this mean lore developers?
Because a massive metal eyeball is a good pillow
That's jsut the casing... the clone is inside
Do we know what the clone even looks like?
isnt that outdated tho
i think the eyeball is just leftover from old Calamity
idk
because Calamitas herself used to be an eyeball too
im a fan of infernums cal clone
Yeah, until we get an offical design im head cannoning her to look like shadows of calamitas
she talks way too much in infernum
Is this the concept art you we're talking about?
yeah
okay but can she grill a cheese
Im pretty sure she can
I can see them redesigning her fight as a whole in the future when this design gets implemented
First phase: She's completely converted in the machine.
Second phase The mouth opens revealing her, but she still in the machine.
Third phase: The machine is destroyed and you fight the clone itself.
Isn’t this iban concept art though
that would be cool
imagine its not you that actually kills her
but the machine breaking
cuz isnt it like life support?
Maybe its just a cool looking mount
I think it's just meant to contain her, I dont think it says anything about it being life support unless I missed somthing
See here's my issue with this idea which i've seen pop up a few times
there's nothing to work harmoniously with
CHEESE
Terraria lore is so unexistent you might honestly just make things up
without being limited by game progression, how quickly do you guys think CalClone would have found the Terrarian
there's only a very few statements for official terraria lore and they're not very interesting honestly

i don't see the desire to have calamity follow terraria's story more closely when terraria's story is negligible at most and not interesting at worst
Terraria lore is like minecraft lore... It's not meant to be taken seriously
"when this design gets implemented" 
(it's scrapped)
I mean when a SCal redesign gets implemented in general
I meant her clone I can type right
let's see you type left
Clonelamitas is in a weird spot right now
Nothing written seems to portray her as the abomination of a failed clone she was in previous iteration of lore
The absence of any mentions of her being monstruous or destructive is rather strange
If anything what we do have makes it seem like she's legitimately just an an clone of calamitas without her full powers
So i feel like that might have some implications
Would be interesting if they make her Not A Fucked Up creature
?hguone doog siht si
what the fuck is euonhg
Shell definitally be mentally fucked up, physically I'm not sure
This might be crazy to say but
la creatura
Spelling left is hard ok?
As chise said there's nothing to suggest her being a messed up human in any way
Though lacking her hexes and black magic, even a fragment of Calamitas’ brimstone power was enough to drive the clone to insanity. Nothing human remains
Would it be entirely impossible for actual calamitas to be theoretically more mentally fucked than her if this theoretical Clonelamitas is Noraml scenario is true
They even use that annoying bullet hell attack to a lesser degree.
the hell are ye yapping about
Oh i missed this
So actually
shes mental
I can fix her
I think i can see where clonelamitas is heading
What the fuck are hexes...
She was just a Normal Person but due to gaining Calamitas's magic she probably went insane
me when six sided polygons in my calamity boss
I can make her worse
I can put her out of misery
she'll be instead just. calamitas but Weaker and Crazier
batshit insane but perfectly functional
calamitas but mindless force of destruction
When they release her design you can expect everyone clamoring that they can fix her, mark my words
Cheese final boss
im powerful
i can fix her
Hi pwerful
im sorry
I'm not gonna fix her... I'm gonna do one nice thing with her to cause her to go yandere for me/s
I'm killing all of you
no it's important
Calamitas is aroace... The clone however has no confirmation (I am coping hard from lonliness)
calamity is trying to keep god a very static and no-nonsense term
in current lore, god = auric soul ritual performed
so deus, a boss being called a god, not being one, is a very large plothole
I really don't see that as a plothole
i do
yes its because its worshipped as one
God and Deus aren't the same words
In translation yes but they're not the same word
He's refered to as a god my yharim... whose not the most trustworthy sourse of infomation
And even then
my point is it's needlessly convoluting an already convoluted lore piece
it still is just a minor gripe - Which i can somewhat understand, but calling it a plot hole is a exaggeration
Gods in calamity are almost exclusively worshiped
but if they're going to be changing vanilla bestiary entries rather than trying to work with what already exists
Like yeah people are probably gonna be a little confused because ''wait why is the astrum deus not a god" but it can be explained incredibly easily
the least they can do is fix the problems they themselves have got
it's literally just a Current Lore Presentation Isn't Good
moment
No story or worldbuilding is free of holes you can poke
Of course people will not understand Deus isn't a god because nothing ingame explains it well - Because the lore is barely implemented ingame
i mean i don't even necessarily care for the current depiction of the lore anyways but yeah that is a major issue
I'll also repeat what i said earlier:
i made it a point to describe 'tell and not show' being a giant issue here
There is little to nothing to work with in terms of lore with terraria and i genuinely cannot understand why it's the one thing people who dislike the narrative seem to insist on being a negative
As i said before - Terraria lore is negligible at best, and incredibly uninteresting at worst
there is SOME, little
They said they plan to rework how the lore is presented
but it's kind of lame to change the few good pieces because they didn't wanna work with them
i enjoy the presentation of the evils in the basegame
it feels incredibly reductive to just go 'god corpse' because the crimson was already that
making all three of them the same is boring
the world evils in base game were meant to be alive
Somthing with cthulhu
its almost fitting that it was reworked to keep that aspect and make it more in line with the story that calamity wished to tell
Hallow and Corruption/Crimson serve different narrative functions
Asking because I genuinely forgor
if memory serves it's like, a viral infection? and then the hallow is an extreme overcorrection in the exact opposite direction
it can still easily be developed further
it's like chemotherapy in which it is VERY nondiscriminatory in what it attacks
What if Crimson and Corruption came from different types of ''evil" - Perhaps one was more so the openly malicious, brutal and violent kind
in an attempt to 'fix' the problems with the world
The other could've been the more manipulating, elusive type
that's the vanilla lore yes
Corruption and crimson being the same is probablt because you normally are supposed to have one or the other in your world
uh huh, that's my point
it's more interesting
yeah i was just confirming what you said
To me almost always when i see critique of calamity lore it feels like nothing but a bias for vanilla terraria lore and a ... reverse bias for calamity lore
they aren't the same at all, cal just reductively makes them all cut from the exact same cloth
as is
But is that a problem
Problem with this is people will still mix them up
Ok maybe not a problem
vanilla terraria tells a story of a living world
The one major critique i see pop up i agree with wholeheartedly is
the rpesentation isn't good
calamity does not
presentation*
it focuses on its characters
but that's... because the mod is being developed
see this is actually my problem with BOTH the base game AND cal
i'll be real, vanilla terraria story does not tell a story because it's not an story and just a brief backstory because the terraria community wanted some form of lore within the game
these are halves
you can tell a character story but not fleshing out the world hurts it
There are three pages of lore for all of terraria and none of it is in the actual game
This isn't a story, it's fan service
i mean, the world is fleshed out in a different way
vanilla lore is completely optional and pretty much not expressed in the game at all
bits and pieces are in technicality
calamity builds its settings
but yeah
and vanilla builds...
And calamity does that
???
We honestly have to wait for calamity to keep developing
I do think some areas could use some more development
it says a whole lot of words alright but it doesn't feel like it really sits down with a location to
give it the time it needs
But calamity literally has a significant amount of worldbuilding unrelated to the main plot
The distortion will be big
there's literally just too much
And now you've completely changed your criticism
not
too much worldbuilding
i mean too much CONTENT
it can't be focused on properly
It went from the world is not fleshed out to the world is too fleshed out?
Big mod
Big mod big content
you are completely misreading my point
Can you give any examples
It’s not gonna be simplistic like vanilla
well, for starters, vernal pass sure is A Location in the game that exists for reasons that exist, but that one's too new so if you want a more proper example then probably ironically the abyss, because there is almost nothing communicated about it to the player and the lore about it pretty much begins and ends at 'silva get thrown in trench and fill with life, anahita was there, wyrm is a guy i guess'
i have at least some confidence we'll learn about it more in the ssea update
Okay, so, i will say this:
The origin of the abyss isn't exactly explained
wait what
so i'm not judging itTHAT harshly
However, other than that, i do'nt see any issues
What is there to explain about deep trench
the abyss doesnt have an origin ]
Like - Yes, there's a deep trench with deep sea animals on it
Is there the need to include that in some sort of overarching narrative?
deep trench is or was clearly inhabited considering one of the bosses came from there
there isnt a whole lot to explain about the abyss itself
the explanations should be for the stuff inside the abyss, not the abyss itself
yes, i KNOW that
No way! (This implies that the area the game takes place on is near a techtonic plate)
you're acting like i don't understand that
I genuinely don't understand where you're getting at though
draedon talks about the abyss
Like, what's the problem with the abyss
Is it because it dosen't fit in the main narrative?
Nothing about it needs to be explained more than it already was
(Except arguably the origin of it given it's seemingly unnatural ocurrence)
its a different story for stuff like the sunken sea where the biome itself is gonna have a lot of lore tied to it instead of only the enemies
i mean, i think it could use more lore
no, the main narrative is a different can of worms, it just feels underbaked
i'd love to learn more about how stuff developed down there, ssea has plenty of that
I imagine azafure update will have smth about that
we'd need to learn more about silva then
IT being not the main narrative
for clarity
since i know i might be misunderstood on that
Okay so, the issue is that some things in the mod need more worldbuilding?
this would be a great start yeah
the crags overhaul will probably have stuff to do with the abyss ye
Or atleast more detailed worldbuilding
lore stuff needs development as a whole but yes this is what i was trying to get across
worldbuilding especially needs some tuning up cuz i like the ideas in a lot of it
calamity only has like 10% of the lore in game rn
I can actually somewhat understand that but again it's
because the mod. is unfinished
its still heavily in development
i dunno what to tell you chief
i am aware of this???
The worldbuilding is being added
There's already worldbuilding ingame, it's getting more
i don't know why you're pressing me so hard about it
we're looking into calamity like its a finished product
i acknowledge the fact it's not finished, i am watching
Anything anyone says can be handwaved by "unfinished mod"
and yet here we are
but i can at the very least talk about my CURRENT issues
they are still very legitimate even if they might be getting worked on
Because seeing people the same like, 4 things over and over even though they know those things are literally being worked on is not very fun
the lore writers are aware of it...
I'll be honest i might've been a little to abrasive here but it's really annoying at this point
i mean i love to write, this mod's a giant inspiration for me in that
It would be a better use of time to talk about stuff that likely isn't changing and is already there
so i wanna give my takes on things
This is fair
respect for that
Like, it's always the same set of criticisms from literally everyone and they all can be answered with "The devs know, they're working on it"
Indeed
god i wish donor content was better or nonexistant either works
alternate reality where donors could onlymake vanity items
still, its better to talk about this than some of the other stuff that we often do
alternate... alt.... me???
i have difficulties wording myself which is probably why we went in circles so long
maybe that's why i write such a good draedon....
im sleep deprived
sad news
maid scal vanity
what
whats sad about it
most people suck at wording I have noticed

I disagree
im already warned i cant speak on this subject
Hard to word properly when arguing in an active chat room
fr
see as a writer myself i usually am good at getting my point across when given thought
but when i'm put on the spot i say dumb shit lol
no time to take a shower and think of a comeback
exactly
shit happens lmao
My ass can write, just don't ask me to write on the spot
thats why my post at the lorewriter was so long i wanted to articulate myself PROPERLY
and i had a lot to say
WRITE SOMETHINGGGGGG
however. i cant write for shit anyways

did a whole ass character study on draedon and then began crafting fake-ass communicate dialogue
one of them even got into goozmod!
10 reasons why to beat people with hammers:
This is actually a lie I can't actually write well
I like to pretend though
My ass is delusional
I LOVE JACKHAMMER ULTRAKILL
i can usually get stuff worded enough to get the vague meaning out but i also say a lot of contradictory shit with no regard for truth and falsehood
i gaslight myself
im a bit dumbo
alternates.... alt.... me???
Mandela catalog
i should write more drae but i need more addons willing to hear it i've already stuffed like four of them into remix
I never get feedback on my writing so I just have no clue if what I'm doing is good or not
and then one instance was added to hunt of the old god
i like goozma
goozma is cool
good guy
idk i'll do my own rewrite eventually
i have a LOT of takes on everything and i'd need like a couple weeks to put everything down
I love having so many ideas but nothing to do with them
Is the Mechworm Staff like a mini DoG?
Or just not doing anything with it
i have a bunch of ideas for a calamity fanfic but i can't come up with a narrative to string them all together
Everything my evil brain comes up with stays in the brain until I randomly decide to draw it
and then I never touch on it again
i intend to write a whole ass lore for the basegame out of boredom sooner or later
I’ve played so much calamity that it’s kinda just became how I view vanilla
I haven’t actually played through vanilla since playing calamity
I just liked it that much ig
Same
I played vanilla for one playthrough
And I've done like 6-7 cal/infernum playthroughs, one split pt and one thorium pt
I can’t enjoy other mods either tbh
I tried thorium
And mod of redemption
But they haven’t really done it for me
Calamity is actually just ridiculously high quality in comparison
i've only done two complete playthroughs, one vanilla and one calamity
Wait popcorn why are you warned???
the thing stopping me from doing more is that earlygame is kind of a slog for me
Early game is actually so bad
so i rely on my friends to progess for me while i just go off and explore
It’s only really bearable cuz of the movement buff
Once I have some kind of boots I’m okay
yeah i forgot what channel i was in and ended up sending a meme to #calamity-update-talk

i kinda stalled on my calamity fic because i'm having trouble with the worldbuilding.
Colgater gave me an idea for the Princess npc and the kingdom whe was the royal family, which was where i was going to have most of the npc's originate from.
I'm stuck unable to make a satisfying backstory for the kingdom for what i want to do with it because Rebecca said she didn't want the princess npc to be involved in any tragedy, indirectly or directly.
could do something with an economic downfall instead of like war
like say they ran out of their main export and the countrys finances started to tank so people had to move out to a more economically stable location
On god
I could barely enjoy thorium because I had gotten so used to the stuff cal had
The biggest thing I noticed is the complete lack of regen stuff
I miss my funny regen
thorium has plenty of broken shit to make up for that
I'm doing mp and one of us is healer
(the 5 second projectile deletion accessory)
and if you want to know: yes it does work with cal shit i watched as someone deleted yharon bordernadoes with it
yeah so the main idea i've got so far is that the Terrarian just kinda showed up and started building on the kingdom's territory without any permits.
Eventually it would lead to the Terrarian building a town for other citizens to move in to because the capital city wasn't doing so well.
And the princess npc ends up being deputy mayor to get some practice in ruling over people before she inherits the throne.
Que disney princess shenanigans
Hey chat
i dont have an actual writing gig so i throw my writing into the joke mod
they can have something decent, as a treat
based
except for goozmod, which is the one time i've put it into a good mod
at least one good mod appreciates what i can do :^)
Goozma,!?!?
holy hell
the goomer
goozma (from the hit Addon Mod hunt of the Old Go
gooming people
😨
draetalk for goozma was added last update alongside mp support iirc
i will goom u
and i wrote said draetalk
No please I’m a minor
what
i can probably cut a snippet out
there is 1 letter you can change or 1 letter you can add to that statement
and both of those would make it infinitely worse
what r the letters
that’s one of them
i'm a ccr user but i exist outside of that
r is one of them
hunt i have very vague connections to, enough to be credited for it at least
i think you can fill in the blanks there
Maybe let’s not do this here
❌
fuck it here's my Crap writing enjoy
ill read that later
Glock solos
omni
any other thingies 
powerscale the sundial turning night to day
goozma lore is based
no pretty much just ccr and hotog i get into mod spaces by being in the right place at the right time
HOW DID I MAKE THE SAME TYPO TWICE
Rest in peace
We fucking named it Goozma?!?!?
disasterous user
yes
The Terrarian**
i am a herald of doomsday and my appearance on a mod team marks the end of days
i'm happy i have a tangible thing in goozmod now tho
before i was just credited for my help with the great lie
wut do u do in ccr 
one of the main developer users, taking a break but working on a boss for the next update
created the theme music for it
???? artist, bad coder, decent musician, good writer, in that order
still based
i don't draw much so i need other folks to do the spriting and fortunately remix team has pretty much exactly that so i can function
im literally just coder user
i patiently await the pyrogen resprite's completion
concept art already drawn just the sprite part that's being waited on
and once it is done i'll jump back on the finetuning for it and hopefully not delay the entire mod by 500 fuckjng years
u wont delay it prob :3
yeah probably not but yuh is a fucking freakishly fast coder
worst comes worst u buy more time for the testers to bughunt
ye prob
VIVA LA CALAMITY LORE 🗣️
🗣️
Just passed the Test
I went to take a nap and the chat went crazy
What happened
No idea
Stand back im about to gooz ma balls
I wonder if slime god has domain over any slimy substance and not just living slimes
I also wonder if the next major update will come in a matter of months or in years...
i'd hope for the devs' sake it's months
Chat, what's your favourite character from Calamity lore? Also explain why in like at least 50 words
Slime God, I really love the fact he contradicts the dragon he consumed by instead of being gluttonous, he seeks balance & moderation, His Paladins are really cool, and Return to Slime absolutely fucking rocks
Slime god using my perpetually runny nose against me
Does he just make the mucus into spikes/needles and lobotomize you?
Just breath through your mouth
the mucus in my throat:
Ohhhh
Calamitas: her copious amounts of trauma and British accent make her feel like a doctor who character
so true oomphie
John Wulfrum because he is chad and had way too much fun in making wulfrum bots

Oh yeaahhh I forgot Calamitas has a British accent
One of the few British people I like 
who winning nameless deity or kratos
nameless deity isnt canon to calamity lore
calamitas is british?
i know
britain doesnt exist so
just think it would kinda fit here
a god actually died and instead of creating something like the corruption or the crimson it created britain
No difference
exactly
would it be the crimson or the corruption (which one is britain more like)
no but dok got a british voice actress to do some lines in the sbc video so people went with it
Probably crimson cause their “teeth”
they're both, an amalgamation of all things awful
though considering azafure is the origin of the industrial revolution in-universe and also literally hell you could argue it basically is britain
good thing it burned then if they were basically british
damn i hope the real life equivalent gets razed by flames too 🙏
hold up do scryllars still exist
i don't pay that much attention to cal updates i just know crags generation was changed
yea
yea see
industrial revolution, enemies that have blade-like appendages and hell
it's london
Idk prolly Kratos
you think there was like a jack the ripper of azafure
catastrophe
Cata comes home covered in blood hugging Cala & Cataclysm while holding a bag of groceries
as a british person can confirm
good to know we got confirmation
👍
Az is the only lovable british person...
truely
hes the crimslime to my crimson
noob erasure
real
brimstone elemental:
killed everyone and dipped

still love her though
Let's not forget a character we know from there, calamitas has a british accent
the origin of the conversation lol
yes that is indeed what my message would explain well observed
what since when?
Look at the beggining of stained brutal calamity uploaded by DM dokuro
Autocorrect sucks
I thought OST weren’t canon
some of em are
music doesn't literally play in-universe whenever you fight a boss
draedon playing some banger tunes while murdering the terrarian
AX014: Exo Speaker
the meaning behind the lyrics of sbc and rotjd are canon but they aren't literally singing in-universe
Oh
So is fighting Yharim the last of canon player stuff in calamity?
if noxus and xeroc ends up being added no
then again even if they do you could just choose to say that your terrarian considers themselves satisfied once they've put yharim in a hydraulic press
Yharim gets hydraulic pressed ending
the yharim auric springlock
steal his attunement and watch him get crushed by his own armor
Yharim in the femur breaker
What is your opinion on Permafrost? I'm under the impression that in the community he is portrayed as a wise, benevolent old man who is all about "peace and rainbows in the world", when in reality, that's not the case at all, that's just bullshit. He's clearly some sort of power-hungry sorcerer who hides behind pacifism to avoid getting his hands dirty and I don't really give a shit if he's sincere or not. There's no fucking way that he, the Tyrant's primary advisor, has not realized the scale of the atrocities they've committed throughout a span of hundred years, in which the Archmage just couldn't have not been implicated. I have a similar impression of him as I do of Yharim. When he could no longer pretend to be blind, when he had to take responsibility for his actions, when deceiving his conscience was no longer an option - the guy just took off and ran away. fucking fraud bro
its hating time
Is this a new copy paste
nah, its real, trust bro
Perma is definitely a questionable character but he definitely is not nearly as awful as yharim
He probably tends to see the best in people
So he couldn't see the atrocities that yharim did
couldn't see and didn't want to see are two very different spectrums
is he like literally blind or smth? I doubt it
Tho yeah he was bamboozled by yharim for at max like 90 years (but probably less)
Well, I don't think perma was too involved into militaristic side of yharim's crusade
So he couldn't fully see the extent of yharim's actions
"His wisdom guided my original conquests, making much of them possible at all."
I personally wouldnt be so sure about it
first time someone questions perma 🙏
honestly let it be since this is actually debatable honestly
he's defo on the better side compared to yharim but
he's defo questionable as troodon said
yeah he's not as evil as Yharim, sure, buuuuuuut dude is delusional at best if you ask me. Pacifist my ass
doing "questionable" deeds for the greater good, huh?
I aint buying that shit
just, where is the room for "couldn't see the atrocities" in the sentence "Crusade to kill all gods"?
he thought that Yharim would nicely ask them to put themselves out of existence?
this is hilarious

perma is on a fraud-watch till the great lore update
period
one of many, I hope
I imagine that yharim presented his crusade in other light to his people
first is The lore update, second being bestiary, third being draedate
Maybe something like a saving operation
To rescue people from the influence of evil gods
I imagine that him ordering to kill god worshippers wasn't as well known
yeah, sure, ordinary people would eat his words and ask for more
but not his primary advisor
I feel like he'd hear about some of the shit yharim commits from other people
I feel like he'd intentionally keep himself in information vacuum
he doesnt like violence after all
kind-hearted man

yharim could be lying to put perma under the bus tbh
like "oh i didnt do it alone, perma also helped, blame him too!!"
Yharim doesn't put Perma's contribution in that light
it's more like he appreciates him
so I imagine thats not the case
he isnt saying that literally, but yharims been portraying himself as a fallen hero the entire time, so he could be doing the same to perma too
then he would say some bullshit like: "Fittingly, he had a serpent's tongue. He manipulated me incessantly, driving me to awful acts."

i love how yharim blames everyone else nearly everywhere except for the polterghast situation
Well, he also tried to kill him
do not let this fact distract you from the fraudulent perma

after perma betrayed him
sure
why not
your point?
wtf did perma do that was such a threat to yharim
he wasn't a threat, perma just left yharim when things went downhill
and, unlike draedon, perma was someone in whom yharim actually held some expectations
on a personal level
so I imagine yharim felt like he was betrayed or smth
also i dunno how easy it is to get rid of draedon 
I think it's important to realize that Yharim's lies about him being manipulated or any other bullshit are not more than a implications of his cope mechanism to not delve deeper into depression. Like, Yharim acknowledges that he, in fact, has done a whole lot of terrible things and yet keeps finding excuses to not put the whole blame onto himself. My point is that he is not lying about fraudulent pacifist archmage contribution in crusade which whole point is to kill. Yharim even admits that he was wrong: "Where justice was once seen, tyranny had blinded it."
maintaining the agenda
hey non lore nerd
calamity players when four lines of words
I'm an honorary lore nerd
I know enough about lore
Yharim hides his atrocious behavior behind a false sense of heroicism
Cmt users when more than 2 words
(Those 2 words have to be under 4 letters long)
I’m hungry
Imma grill a cheese
Not bread
I've had people tell me they toast bread
When you put something specifically bread it becomes toast or toasted
damn, toast lore
yeah, pretty based
Lore discussion was the first place you clicked on?
yeah
you can't escape lobotomy
well i mean i was kinda forced to see the rules but idk if that counts
it'll haunt you everywhere you go
Private pure love train baby
Become knowledgeable
based
i honestly regret doing that
Becoming a lore nerd is your best choice here
Either become a cmt dumbass
1 star General user
Or a help advice meta user
Rn I'm just kinda in this server to discuss lore, Calamity stuff, help new people, ask for help and shit on ranger
I'm here to chew gum and kick ass
I'm here to shit on permafrost
And I'm all out of ass
fucking dick kickem
do reaper sharks have an evolutionary reason to have arms
or did they just go "hell yeah" and fucked it
"Using their arms for purposes from hurling colossal squids into the Abyss’ walls to crushing the heavily armored heads of eidolon wyrms, few can match their raw strength." from bestiary i think
also for some reason my mental image of a reaper shark has little bits of gold
must just be it merging with eidolon colour palette in my head
well
i have to assume their jaws a rather powerful too
having arms just gives a greater range of options
colossal squids probably also evolved to counter the jaws
now we wait for them to adapt to the arms and we'll get reaper shark with a gun built in
reaper shark is the sperm whale of calamity wow
bullying massive squids
im just imagining a reaper shark slamming a squid into the wall with smear frames and all
learning video design to create that into a gif
I wish reaper shark arms were killed but they wouldn't
good ammo for people who say calamity cant be goofy
now i want to see a reaper shark bench pressing an eidolon wyrm
I'd love to see a GFB Reaper Shark Leg Pressing one
"calamity is too serious" mfs when they see Reaper Shark
Moray eel bestiary
greatest bestiary entry ever
as for me
imma be honest the "calamity is too serious" complain is just
so dumb ngl
I get not liking it but calamity having a more serious tone than terraria is NOT a flaw lmao
it's serious to the point of actually being thought-provoking, which is great
terraria doesn't go for that at all, but that doesn't mean cal can't
whining about it makes little sense to me
sounds like getfixedboi noncanon shenanigans
or regular reaper shark
Hey is it a good time to repost my redesign of reaper
i would love to see it
Too bad I'm posting it anyway muhahaha
also is that a leviathan from rain world in the top right
Yes
my character names are all over the place
just whatever fits thematically
but i also use colours with [c/xxxxxx] for all of them
to help match characters to worlds and, again, to match with their themes
Well, those aren't names of characters, it's just for drawings
i don't necessarily mean my in-game characters either
I usually name Terrarians either after myself or a specific character they are
i occasionally write down random character descriptions that i think of spontaneously
and name them accordingly
but i can't draw anything good more than like once a year
so they just stay as a paragraph of words
eternally
reaper sharks hunt eidoin wyrms?
i thought wyrms were too strong for them
Nah, bestiary directly mentions how they hunt them I'm pretty sure
that shark is massive
I think the idea is that squid, wyrm and shark have this rock scissors paper type of dynamic
also im no expert but iirc, this doesnt make much evolutionary sense no?
in the abyss, its so dark that eyesight usually doesnt matter
it's not as if it is entirely natural
so why would it bother to camofaluge?
Silva influence go brrr
silva helped lifeforms evolve, right?
not necessarily
ye but isnt silva's entire point is that it speeds up and makes life adapt better
Mommy nature making the impossible possible
could be remnants of their old forms
a lot of deep sea creatures have enourmous eyes
ffs man
Don’t hate me
maybe they lacked the time to fully evolve past those features
ye but they dont depend on their eyesight
or maybe they simply had no need to do so
we're gonna have to ask @pliant ruin for this
the fish expert!!!!
Cheese knows best
@pliant ruin
I hope this is the right one
There are two ploos
That would be easier
easy to remember since it's parmesan cheese
LMAO
i dont know, people worshipped him as a god and shit
now hes protecting the infection
He’s a nerd
We don’t respect astrum here
so true
Dragonfolly
Dragonfolly!!!
Dragonfolly, the lesser Bumblebirbs
is this how we attract them
seeing that tooltip just sent me down a thought bullet train
i got off at yharim vs. statis and braelor
still shocked by how recent that fight was
i had it in my head that yharim was significantly younger during that fight for some reason
do you think back in the draconic era there was some racism toward wyvern dragons
because they only have 4 limbs instead of 6
huh
well, assuming the average dragon had 6 limbs
4 legs 2 wings
and assuming wyverns did exist
2 legs 2 wings
do you think there was hate toward wyverns
well not hate but like
ableism ig?
i mean
people hate for any reason
but we really know nothing of the average dragon's values
nor what was typically viewed as normal for a dragon
maybe some of them had no wings at all
maybe others had no arms or legs

vanilla terraria has whyverns not wyverns
Random question, could the dragons actually talk or only with someone they're attuned with?
Example- Yharim and Yharon
i don't think that is something we can know without dev statement
given that we know nothing relating to that part of a dragon (speaking)
I'm sure dragons varied in shapes forms and appearances
Who said all of them had 6 limbs
The reason I'm questioning this is because Yharon doesn't talk to us at all during his boss fight while Yharim states Yharon literally told him about the genocide of his kind.
ik thats why i asked if some sort of ableism existed
It's implied that dragons can only speak telepathically to people they're attuned with
because i assumed the most common would be 6 limbed ones
And obviously to each other
im pretty sure its been stated by devs that they could telepathically communicate to eachother
But they can't speak to other people
Thank you both of you
or maybe dragons were just parrots and could mimic the sounds close enough to human speech idk
who threw that grub?
i really tried changing the hue to make it orange but it just wouldnt
more menacing sprite than current yharon still
at least this bird's got a spooky stare
idk why but these parrots always make me think theyre doing the rocks eyebrow raise

better idea: goose yharon
i think its just
they look so friendly for some reason
intimidating figure
their beak makes that impression
so real
wrong message
whatever
i am too lazy to redo it
goose yharon supremacy
can confirm
Lol
armored digger?
Armored digger
yep
i have not seen an armoured digger in literal years
They are just... Rarer as hell to spawn underground in hard mode
haven't seen one since like 2020
LOL
Put crabulon in top tier
no
signus as a chef is now stuck in my head
as is statis getting out of the distortion by offering the recipe for some super secret food
Yharon would chop off pieces of himself and serve you spicy fried chicken
exo mechs no longer exist
araes has a microwave in his chest soooo S
and the worm bosses are poorly cropped
You should remake it
what about exo mechs
couldn't find them
is the ancient godslayer armor canon?
was there a human or something else similar that actually used godslayer armor before us
true
added exo mechs here you go
there you go
Epic
Yeah exo mechs pretty much have a built in kitchen
What is this for lol
barbeque tier list
Saw vanilla bosses rated on how good they would be at a cookout and said hey, let's do that with calamity
Fair
Calamitas is not cooking
I was gonna say where is sand elemental, but remembered oh wait calamity only 😂
her ass lived in a cave alone for like 10 years
brimstone fire magic
Though would prefer not to use brimstone magic
enjoy everything having a sulpherous taste
that's a good question. are the brothers sentient enough to cook?
Calamity BBQ cooking show
Did you like... read the second half of my post? I think it speaks for itself
