[reef wigeon]

(I was referring to learning about power scaling)

[hoary berry]

i'm quite lucky with my college schedule i think

i like to go to sleep early and wake up early, so a 9am start leaves me a lot of time to do whatever

[split mortar]

I try to wake up at 6 specifically so I get time to do whatever then prepare at 7 and leave at 8

[hoary berry]

i either take fifteen minutes or three hours to get ready to leave somewhere

so the several hours i leave myself to burn are crucial

[reef wigeon]

Can the term "Nigh Omnipotence" be considered valid? I usually use it to refer to a character who can do almost anything. Another reason is because in the case of Omnipotence, Infinity is relative since power means the ability to do something, not something that can be counted.

[reef wigeon]

(Although what can be done in theory can be counted, power itself cannot be counted)

[split mortar]

Omnipotence and nigh omnipotent often don’t mean much, since it’s often exaggerating their power

And even when it is literal it’s like not much anyways iirc

[reef wigeon]

Yes, absolute Omnipotence is completely impossible to achieve in a fictional world, but we are talking about a "philosophical" Omnipotence.

There are characters who are said to be "omnipotent" but in reality they can't do anything, like Hao Asakura who is omnipotent but can't read minds, but in reality he doesn't do it because he doesn't need to.

[dusk laurel]

Huh

We need to cull this beast

[hoary berry]

whar

[dusk laurel]

We need to put him down

[hoary berry]

[indigo glade]

The Rifle of an Apple.

It needs to be taken to Hell.

[wheat walrus]

Nigh-Omnipotence is a funny term

[indigo glade]

You get Nigh-Omnipotence! You get Nigh-Omnipotence! You get Nigh-Omnipotence! You get Nigh-Omnipotence! EVERYBODY GETS NIGH-OMNIPOTENCE!

[pliant ruin]

chat

[wheat walrus]

It doesn't even really work either, not just because Omnipotence has multiple definitions (infinite power, complete control over everything, both) but because Nigh would just mean "almost infinite power" or "near complete control over everything" or "complete control over nearly everything"

[pliant ruin]

i just uttered the words "god of regret" to myself nad i think thats the coolest fucking idea for a god ever

[wheat walrus]

And like

[mighty zenith]

as you can see by this chart

[dusk laurel]

When diagram

[indigo glade]

Yes, I did see you utter those words. And yes, it is indeed the coolest fucking idea for a God ever.

[wheat walrus]

Infinite/2 = Infinite, any finite number won't make infinite

[hoary berry]

I think I had a similar idea at some point

God of lament or something

[pliant ruin]

i'm having thoughts about this potential god of regret

someone who dedicated themselves so wholefully to a single cause, hurting their friends in the process, distancing themselves, only to in the end, regret it all

mm god of regret as a metaphor as to what would happen to yharim if he realized how horrible his actions actually have been

[hoary berry]

okay i'm hesitant to say i really had much of an idea at all because apparently the notes i wrote about it were literally just

Goddess of Lament — she
Founder of necromancy

'she'

so descriptive

[indigo glade]

she

[hoary berry]

so developed

elaborate idea

[pliant ruin]

i want to make the story of regret person be like

incredibly depressing

and i don't mean in the sense of like

"oh alot of people die" way i mean in the actual emotional turmoil way

[indigo glade]

Instead of being dead, the people they wish to protect could be incredibly distant from them and do not wish to do anything with them

and stuff.

I don't know, I'm not good at sad stories.

[hoary berry]

the notes for the dragon whose soul she absorbed are even more intricate

Dragon of — he

[indigo glade]

Dragon of he!!

[hoary berry]

i couldnt think of a domain evidently

[indigo glade]

Dragon of Testosterone.

[hoary berry]

but i came up with an idea yesterday that could help me with that...

[pliant ruin]

right as i start talking about this new god oc i just thought of through pathces of violet starts playing

why does this song fit so well

[deft vessel]

Dragon of Sorrow

[indigo glade]

Thoughts, Cheese?

[pliant ruin]

mmm

the way i see it

i kinda want to write the story of the god of regret before they became a god

and them becoming a god is like

the climax

[indigo glade]

Well, that doesn't conflict with my idea...

[visual kiln]

haiii

[pliant ruin]

Yeah its just like

idk if ill rly think too much abt the specifics of their domain rn

[visual kiln]

why bring me here

🫵

[pliant ruin]

READ UP

GOD OF REGRET

ITS PEAM

[indigo glade]

Cheese thought of something good.

[pliant ruin]

:3

[visual kiln]

wtf

[indigo glade]

And you will read it.

[visual kiln]

god of regret

[indigo glade]

It is your duty to do so.

[deft vessel]

Peaming

[visual kiln]

dragon of paranoia -> god of regret

[pliant ruin]

not gonna think

abt the dragon rn

bcuz i want to turn this into a actual like

fanfiction atp

[visual kiln]

wtf

based

chee fixtion

[pliant ruin]

one showing their journey before they ascended

[deft vessel]

All must be fanfic

[pliant ruin]

one where they fell from grace, all for the sake of a single goal

[amber cedar]

spamtom

[pliant ruin]

only to in the end fall into despair as they regret it all

also i want to make this like

explore other elements of cal worldbuilding

mostly dettached from yharim xeroc crusade etc

[visual kiln]

@amber cedar

ur ASS is GRASS

[pliant ruin]

theyll be parts of the story still ofc

but it wont be as on focus as the actual calamity story

[visual kiln]

this is spamton

[amber cedar]

spamton lives in a dumpster

iirc

[indigo glade]

Yes... Crusade being a mentioned... In a story regarding a God's attempt at ascension...

[visual kiln]

what if

[deft vessel]

Had a dream once where my hair turned to grass

[indigo glade]

The Crusade was infamous with the amount of Auric Dragons it had living during it.

[visual kiln]

epilogue thats just like

the god’s essence forming a new thing like hive or perfs

and its from its perspective

[amber cedar]

is the prologue before or after

a story

[indigo glade]

Before.

[visual kiln]

before

[deft vessel]

Before

[visual kiln]

btw haiii eem

[amber cedar]

hi

[visual kiln]

helloooo :333

[amber cedar]

i will remove it from this world

[visual kiln]

then dog appears and we see what its like to be eated by boggy from the very very warped perspective of that thing

maybe noxus mental dialogue

idk

[amber cedar]

wait a minute dragon of testosterone can probably control testosterone maybe it should be kept

[indigo glade]

Don't worry, they can get rid of Testosterone, too.

[deft vessel]

Devious

[indigo glade]

And give it to the people who need it.

I

[visual kiln]

tbh i imagine noxus talks like evangelion angels (that arent the guy) do

[indigo glade]

don't know why I capitalised testosterone.

[amber cedar]

this is why its hard having extra limbs

[indigo glade]

There is also a Dragon of Estrogen.

[amber cedar]

did they ever talk

i only watched the og one

and they never talk

only the like human ones do

[cloud ibex]

Ramiel does if screaming counts

[pliant ruin]

that'd be peam

also

i think the story would be like

ok u guys know the odyssey

greek epic

the one with odysseus where he goes all around the world

[indigo glade]

No.

[pliant ruin]

smh limbus fan dosent even know the oddysey

[deft vessel]

Yes. (sort of)

[amber cedar]

odysseus' odyssey

haha spam link deleted

[pliant ruin]

anyways my idea is that it'd be

kinda like that

this 1 perosn who would eventually become the god of regret

[visual kiln]

the ring one did

[amber cedar]

scam.com

[pliant ruin]

going on this great journey to fullfill some goal

[amber cedar]

what one

[pliant ruin]

and as they slowly try more and more to reach that goal

[amber cedar]

i dont remember

[pliant ruin]

they distance themselves from their friends, slowly lose their bonds, start becoming less and less righteous

[indigo glade]

"We are going on an Oddysey!"
"What's an Oddysey, Oddyseus?"
"Oh, it is a type of grand journey. It is named after the travels of the only survivor on a ship!"
"Oh, interestin- wait..."

[pliant ruin]

btw what if this was yuri

what if it was doomed yuri

[amber cedar]

base d

[deft vessel]

Yharim on his way to argue why the god of happiness and joy is evil

[amber cedar]

you see

[indigo glade]

Does everything need to be yuri?

[amber cedar]

the god of happiness and joy steals the happiness from people and distributes it to only its followers

[indigo glade]

Actually wait

[pliant ruin]

Yes

[indigo glade]

I think I know what your answer will be.

Yeah...

[hoary berry]

i would like to speak to this dragon please...

[deft vessel]

Yharimous

[amber cedar]

i am evil and stupid i like eating wood

[indigo glade]

It's dead.

[pliant ruin]

grahhh ive never been this invested on a calamity related thign since i joined roy

[hoary berry]

damn wtf

[pliant ruin]

god of regret fanfiction

it WILL be real

[hoary berry]

opportunity dead

[reef wigeon]

Yes, but you haven't read my previous message. Still, I just consider it a way to "simplify" the phrase "it can do almost anything"

[untold oracle]

Yuri I love yuri

Hai everyone

[deft vessel]

Yheren shall revive them

[hoary berry]

:D

[wheat walrus]

i mean still

:/

[reef wigeon]

(this message)

[amber cedar]

ok so hear me out

[wheat walrus]

nigh-omnipotence to me is just, omnipotent being that is really only surpassed by another omnipotent being, therefore making them not truly omnipotent

[amber cedar]

god of regret does everything to get wirh her lover

but

it was yharim

all along

[pliant ruin]

stabs u

[hoary berry]

i swear if i had water in my mouth i would've done a spit take

[wheat walrus]

besides these terms don't mean much in scaling, "I'm Omnipotent" can be planet level to universe level, to low complex multiverse level to high hyperverse level to even boundless

any tier really

[amber cedar]

feed me wood

[untold oracle]

I never understood what is the difference between multiverse hyperverse outerverse gigaverse fartverse

[reef wigeon]

Yes, I use it like that too. Although several people continue to deny it when it is just a simplification to say a long paragraph that would take a lot of time.

[hoary berry]

glorpverse

[amber cedar]

basiclaly

the verse is uhhhhh

[hoary berry]

[amber cedar]

a refernce to deepwoken

because

[wheat walrus]

fairs

[amber cedar]

their magic system is the song

[untold oracle]

💥

[amber cedar]

and their major updates are called verses

[cloud ibex]

💥

[amber cedar]

[cloud ibex]

I’m banishing you to the pits of Tartarus

[amber cedar]

who

[spare pier]

Btw you're getting Guardian Lore in SSO

[pliant ruin]

Chat... i am currently brainstorming

the fanfiction will be real

best calamity adjacent idea ive ever had

[spare pier]

Truth be told my only problem with the idea of a "God of Regret" is that I think said guy shouldn't be a God

[untold oracle]

Polycule

[indigo glade]

I'm going to blow you up.

[spare pier]

Not only does the Domain sound wack, but idk I have the feeling that the story would have more wiggle room outside of that

[pliant ruin]

the

entire point of the story is their regret tho

but the first one is fair enough i think

[spare pier]

Yeah but they can be regretful and not have consumed the Soul

[wheat walrus]

universe level = energy enough to destroy the observable universe in real life
high uni = infinite energy (Infinite 3D), destroy an infinite amount of objects or an infinite object
uni+ = 4D, destroy not just what's inside of an universe but the very space and time they exist in
multiverse tiers = multiple space-times, up to infinite with Multi+
low complex multiverse up to hyperverse level = qualitative superiority, dimensional scaling basically: if you transcend space and time to the point where you are qualitatively bigger than them, you are 5Dimensional, hyperverse level iirc starts at 12D and continues up to any higher finite number
high hyperverse level = infinite dimensionality
low outer = transcending infinite dimensionality
outer = transcending dimensionality as a whole and other concepts too
high outer = an even greater form of transcendence, superior to even outerverse level
boundless = beyond anything, literally lol, beyond the tiering system basically; closest thing you could get to true omnipotence in fiction, VSBW only startedt handing out this tier to 1 character per fictional verse more recently because part of being boundless is being above everything, even in-verse, but idk that's not necessary to do

[pliant ruin]

but also

oh my god

[sleek halo]

jesus fuck

[pliant ruin]

omni just like

[spare pier]

Either way that's just me

[pliant ruin]

chill out a bit

😭

[wheat walrus]

wharrr

[sleek halo]

God of Regret

[pliant ruin]

ur yapping too much man thats like the size of a blue whale

[wheat walrus]

I just tried to give an explanation to Deltaw :/

[pliant ruin]

u can shorten it a little 😭

[sleek halo]

like what does one do…

with that domain

[indigo glade]

Be sad.

[wheat walrus]

i did :/

if I didn't I'd be making entire pages

[sleek halo]

obviously not all domains need a combat purpose, but i don’t think there’s anything it can really do overall

[pliant ruin]

tghe yapper

[untold oracle]

I’m melting

[spare pier]

I do think that Gods having Domains which are just "this guy's mental state" is a bit eh

[untold oracle]

I understood ~8% of the words

[pliant ruin]

i can figure something out

[wheat walrus]

rip

[pliant ruin]

idc abt the actual

combat side of things too much

[sleek halo]

well I mean

[pliant ruin]

since them ascending is the climax nyways

most of the story they'd be a person

[spare pier]

Providence isn't the Goddess of Nihilism, for example

[sleek halo]

would absolutely fit though

[hoary berry]

actually sort of interesting...

[sleek halo]

but would also make 0 sense

the mental gymnastics to get to nihilism from flame

[spare pier]

Yes, but my point is that to have a character, the point of their character doesn't have to be spelled out in the Domain

[sleek halo]

would make you an olympic champion

[untold oracle]

We lost a real one
Goose has fallen to the powerscaling 💔

[pliant ruin]

counterargument

god of nihilism dosent sound cool as fuck but god of regret does

[hoary berry]

consumed by the void

[spare pier]

It does but you know what sounds even cooler?

[mighty zenith]

cooler

[spare pier]

The Regretful God

[pliant ruin]

fair point

that does sound metal as fuck

and honestly i could just make their domain never be explained since them becoming a god is the climax anyways

[sleek halo]

ye

[pliant ruin]

the story ends with them becoming the god, u figure out the rest

[sleek halo]

It’s what I’m doing for a little story

[reef wigeon]

So yes, Hao Asakura went from multiversal to outerversal in days

[sleek halo]

mostly cause they’ve never had a chance to figure it out

they’ve been kept away for far too long

[reef wigeon]

Wouldn't Sephiroth be universal or more? He merged with a (practically) omnipresent source of life that is everywhere and his death is basically impossible because you kill an avatar

And if we talk about Dissidia, if I remember correctly, he managed to surpass the speed of a being that transcends that law.

[gritty kraken]

then the yharm happened

[pliant ruin]

i don't really want to make yharim too major in my story tbh

nor any of the major cal players

i want to explore some less developed worldbuilding elements and maybe even stuff outside the main continent

[reef wigeon]

(Please don't criticize me, I haven't played the games and I only use information from wikis to inform myself about things I don't know)

[gritty kraken]

coo laweson

[sleek halo]

random thing tbh…

but there is technically

3 GoS

God of Slime, Space, and Sacrifice

[pliant ruin]

OH MY GOD

my brain

its pulsating

[sleek halo]

lot of gods with a domain that starts with S

[pliant ruin]

i'm not gonna spoil but my brain is pulsating for ideas

[amber cedar]

the oscillations

[sleek halo]

And two DoGs

Dragon of Gravity and Devourer of Gods

[untold oracle]

Pulse rifle

[mighty zenith]

let's spread the Nameless Serpent propaganda

[sleek halo]

True

Though I like that he has multiple titles

no names though

as it clearly states

nameless

not even half a name

Do you think anyone in calamity has hit him with the “So the acronym is DoG”

I would like to think so

[untold oracle]

"Nameless" Serpent
Devourer of Gods has awoken!
Fraud detected

[reef wigeon]

Luckily I'm good at physics (I'm a minor, but I won't say my age for safety reasons)

[wheat walrus]

welp

there was no need to specify you were a minor in the first place :/

that's just out of place

[reef wigeon]

Well, now that I think about it, you're right :v

[untold oracle]

I’m -2 years old, because I lack a material form, I am equal to the very foundation of reality, scaling me to universe level lowball

[reef wigeon]

I know this is also out of place, but what are the only JoJo stands that come to Universal?

[wheat walrus]

guuhhhh

[reef wigeon]

(I think only Made in heaven and others)

[untold oracle]

Hold on we were just discussing this today with my friends

[hoary berry]

and you said I'VE fallen to the powerscaling...

smh my head

[untold oracle]

Hits you 82 times with a spatula

[reef wigeon]

First, Made in Heaven increases gravity to such a level that it causes time to accelerate but not living beings, until the universe resets. With this they tell you DIRECTLY that it becomes universal by affecting an entire universe and even creating a second universe.(the latter is already theory, since Pucci says that it accelerates the process of the end of the universe until everything is created again, but he never says that he does it directly)

[dusk laurel]

You're next

[wheat walrus]

technically Made In Heaven has Uni+ Effects but it's not an attack potency thing obv, iirc Infinite Rotation is at least 5D due to transcending space, time and alternate dimensions (emphasis on alternate), Go Beyond! I'm pretty sure is a dimensionless attack, and thus ignores any defense, technically Outerverse Level but the problem is that none of these are Attack Potency, the user of these abilities wouldn't just take them and they're all forms of bypassing durability and other abilities that prevent their enemies from being damaged (such as Love Train redirecting bad fate, or Head Doctor's Flow Of Calamity)

[hoary berry]

[untold oracle]

Yuckri

[dusk laurel]

Old hag

[wheat walrus]

the reason I say Go Beyond! is prolly Outer is because the Flow Of Calamity is literally just manipulating Logic itself to maximize every unlucky event against anyone who tries to reach the Head Doctor, that silly bubble doesn't exist and therefore transcends Logic, which is what allows it to do what it do

[spare pier]

Btw if we ever pull out a Misbegotten Crusader you have the right to kill us

[wheat walrus]

gruhhhhhh

[untold oracle]

The characters from nokotan anime are aware of them being inside a show, therefore placing them above their universe (multiverse level)

[dusk laurel]

🔥

[sleek halo]

qhar

[spare pier]

For context, in Elden Ring there is a Boss which uses THE SWORD RADAGON HIMSELF FORGED

[wheat walrus]

Jank awakened

[spare pier]

And it's just

A fuck off Misbegotten in a random ass cave

[sleek halo]

oh yeah

that guy

[wheat walrus]

I will steal Yharim's sword and become a cave dude

[spare pier]

So what I mean is

If we ever end up doing that kind of shit, you have the right to kill us

Oh yeah also next update you'll basically get

[wheat walrus]

i alr do...

[spare pier]

All Of The Demon Lore

[untold oracle]

My brain doesn’t brain what rebecca is saying

[wheat walrus]

Bendy and the ink machine lore

[sleek halo]

Well now ur hyping it up

so my expectations are high

[spare pier]

It's surprisingly small, all things considered

[sleek halo]

if not met I will have no choice but to put u in a deep frier

unfortunately

[spare pier]

What the fuck.......

[untold oracle]

Jank evil arc

[sleek halo]

i don’t make the rules

[dusk laurel]

Word

[spare pier]

Byeah Demons are relatively small in the grand scheme of things but

[sleek halo]

I assume they’re human adjacent

[spare pier]

Obviously they're still #2 civilization in the Underworld

So they need some stuff

[sleek halo]

migbt be #1 at this point..

considering uh

every ruined city ever

[spare pier]

Yeah no they're #1 now

[sleek halo]

and then also azafure being explodged

[spare pier]

Because Azafure had a severe case of Brimstone Elemental

[pliant ruin]

wtf does misbegotten mean

[spare pier]

Idk

[sleek halo]

badly conceived, planned, or designed apparently

makes sense for that person in elden ring

becuase that was a fucking terrible idea

just a horrible one

[spare pier]

The funny part is that it's an entire race

Racism is canon in Elden Ring

(No one is surprised)

[spring helm]

I got a ping here and I can’t find it

[sleek halo]

misbegotten should be the term used for multi boss fights in elden ring…

[cloud ibex]

isn't it also canon in bloodborne

[untold oracle]

Go to notifs

[sleek halo]

me when I mix two bosses together and don’t adjust them all for the fight

[spare pier]

It's canon in all 4 Miyazaki universes pretty sure

[cloud ibex]

classic fromsoft lore

[spare pier]

Maybe not in Sekiro

[sleek halo]

me when twin bell gargoyles but from dollar store..

[spare pier]

Twin Bell Gargoyles are already a dollar store fight so

[sleek halo]

super dollar store

[spare pier]

Every DS1 Boss except Artorias is

And Manus

I forgot Manus

[deft vessel]

Loreous…

[dusk laurel]

Bed of chaos

[spare pier]

I can't get over how they named the Guy With A Giant Hand just

Hand in latin

Or greek

It means Hand in some language

[untold oracle]

Yharim should be just Flavum

[spare pier]

Is that "yellow"?

[untold oracle]

Yharon should be Psittacus

[untold oracle]

Yes

[spare pier]

Is that bird?

[untold oracle]

Parrot

[deft vessel]

Astrum deus should be just astrum deus

[untold oracle]

Mhm

[dusk laurel]

Space worm

[spare pier]

Anyways

Yeah Demons have their own stuff going on and you'll discover about all of it in SSO

[sleek halo]

orsteim and smough was p good

[spare pier]

I don't mean that they are bad but just

Eh?

O&S are still DS1 Bosses

[sleek halo]

i mean pretty fun

[spare pier]

And all of them kinda suck due to how slow they are

And also because if you create space between them they usually will just start spamming the same attack over and over again

[limpid saddle]

Manus my goat 5ever... ❤️

He made everything click for me in DS1

Ran it back on a Shield Only run & every boss was made x10 better

Except for Gaping Dragon he fucking sucks

[reef wigeon]

Well, they are still feats to be considered of that tier, and it does not necessarily have to be AP.

ig yea, just it doesn't mean that suddenly, Johnny Joestar is tanking Goku punches, at most Goku might be killed by Infinite Rotation but even then that depends on how you scale Goku (me personally, 5D/Low Complex Multiverse Level makes sense for DBS Goku, especially post-ToP)

[reef wigeon]

But if in reality the calamity flow is just a law of nature. WoU only manipulates it to make it turn against any threat

[split mortar]

Hi chat I’m back

What have I missed

[reef wigeon]

And nope, I haven't read Jojolion but I still know the laws of WoU and several other stands.

[split mortar]

Fuck you

[reef wigeon]

But Za Warudo OH is definitely the most powerful stand in versatility and in practically everything. It surpasses things that transcend physical and logical laws, such as infinite spin and even GER

[pliant ruin]

lore chat

truly

[reef wigeon]

I have a question: why do you write "queso" in Spanish instead of cheese?

[pliant ruin]

funny

[reef wigeon]

Yes

Queso :3

[sleek halo]

real

[pliant ruin]

Anyways i'm still brainstorming stuff for the fanfiction but i might be able to start on the first chapter soon

[split mortar]

Why is it?

[pliant ruin]

melon gun bringing back the powerscaling topic
this is fucked up dude

[indigo glade]

Can you ban Banana Shotgun?

[hoary berry]

Sorry, I'm too busy playing HSR 3.0 to answer your question at this moment! Please try again later.

[cloud ibex]

what

[split mortar]

Killing you

[indigo glade]

Who has a name similar to Banana Shotgun?

[cloud ibex]

i did not make that connection at all i thought you were trying to hire a discord hit squad on some poor bastard who wronged you

[split mortar]

{fruit} {weapon}

Why yall do that to me

[pliant ruin]

thats literally what u are tho

[split mortar]

Yall change the fruit and weapon tho :(

[indigo glade]

Silence, Starfruit Knife.

You have no say in this.

[split mortar]

Ok intellect looker

[limpid saddle]

so what do you guys think/want the next plushie to be, if any

[pliant ruin]

silva...

[limpid saddle]

I think it'll be Yharim but want Crabulon

[limpid saddle]

planty mush plushie this fall

it's just a pile of mold & moss

[pliant ruin]

sobbing

[split mortar]

Buyable mold role???

[limpid saddle]

Do we even have a visual reference of any kind for Silva

[untold oracle]

Yes

Someone get the link

[cloud ibex]

in here

[limpid saddle]

yeah that tracks

I dunno if she'd translate to a plushie well but it's a cool design

i like the coral-covered cannon arm

[untold oracle]

That’s tyrian iirc

[pliant ruin]

that's not silva

it's a link :p

coral cannon guy is tyrian ye

[limpid saddle]

I got something wrong on the internet

my life is over

[untold oracle]

I would post the picture

But you know the drill

[pliant ruin]

swagfrost....

[pliant ruin]

🫵 👨‍🦱

[untold oracle]

Banned

[pliant ruin]

Here's silva btw

[cloud ibex]

your execution will be tomorrow

sorry !

[limpid saddle]

oh that's boring

[untold oracle]

WTF

[split mortar]

Eating your kidneys

[split mortar]

It’s by far the best elemental imo

In design

[limpid saddle]

that is just a human woman with weird ears & pogo-stick for legs

[split mortar]

Apart from anahita the others are basically woman but no clothes

[limpid saddle]

Isn't she meant to be the Goddess Of Life?

Not just an elemental?

[split mortar]

She is both

[untold oracle]

Both iirc

[split mortar]

Becoming a god didn’t remove elemental properties

[limpid saddle]

[limpid saddle]

she's got like a robe

[split mortar]

1 piece of clothing
Still not much

[untold oracle]

Ngl originally seeing this was one of the main things that broke me out of yhapaganda
How could Yharim????

[faint plank]

silva would not be happy with perennial slimes being removed

[pliant ruin]

its ok they will be replaced by perennial frogs

[faint plank]

WHAT

[pliant ruin]

||this is not true i made it up||

[split mortar]

Better than sand (enemy) and brimmy

[untold oracle]

Locked in cheese

[pliant ruin]

would be cool tho

[faint plank]

:(

[split mortar]

Uh what

[faint plank]

day ruined 💔

[pliant ruin]

i was activated

[limpid saddle]

Anyway it's a boring design for a God, especially considering Calamity's prior stunts in unique & abstract design

[pliant ruin]

me when gods aren't all abstract and that's a established part of the lore

[split mortar]

Well silva can basically shapeshift, she prob denied the changes iirc

[limpid saddle]

laaaaaaaaaaaame

🍅

[pliant ruin]

i admittedly am biased because i am not immune to cute women but also i feel like alot of people just don't put enough value on just, good character design, and see any human or humanoid designs as lame and boring

atleast thats the impression i get from a chunk of the internet

[split mortar]

Ravager is a zombie we dunno what it looks like normally

Slime god and providence are THE most changed gods to our knowledge

[limpid saddle]

It's not that it's a bad design

It's that it goes against what I thought was an established aspect of design for the Gods

[pliant ruin]

no not really

it's the opposite

it's been established they are not all abstract/nonhumanoid

[split mortar]

Yeah

[pliant ruin]

there are specific conditions for that to happen

Tyrian for one, the one you saw on the "thumbnail"

is virtually unchanged

[split mortar]

Silva and xeroc are among the least changed so a perfect ascension prob reduces that

[reef wigeon]

I had drawn Xeroc (or an attempt) But post Ascension

#general-media

[split mortar]

Atleast I think

[limpid saddle]

I mean at least Tyrian has the fish thing going on

[pliant ruin]

yeah i mean

hes a fihs

hes a illmeran, he was already a fihs before

[limpid saddle]

this is true✅

[split mortar]

Same with otonilou
Both rather unchanged I think

[limpid saddle]

I mean a little disappointing the design doesnt branch beyond fish into something more monsterous or evocative of the ocean depths

[reef wigeon]

Which gods have names known so far?

[pliant ruin]

Otonilou, Silva, Tyrian, Xeroc, Shakidou, uhhh...

chat am i missing any

[cloud ibex]

providence

[light linden]

still wonder if she has arms and/or legs

[pliant ruin]

not a name tbf

its a title

[manic coral]

shoutouts to me having to scrap liek 8 paragraphs of permafrost dialouge. ouch.

[light linden]

hi cei

[pliant ruin]

wa

[light linden]

F

[manic coral]

it was jsut because i read it back and was like

[pliant ruin]

why that happen

[limpid saddle]

Otonilou has alot of uniqueness in her design

[split mortar]

Silva - life
Xeroc - sunlight
Tyrian - sea
Shakidou - space
Otonilou - electric

[manic coral]

"you know"

"i'm really not happy with this"

[reef wigeon]

Empress of Light has no known name

[pliant ruin]

oh ok

thats

fair

[pliant ruin]

shes not a god

[limpid saddle]

Thats rough

[split mortar]

She works for gods, she isn’t a god

[limpid saddle]

what jane said & also yeah she does shes empress of light

[light linden]

question

[cloud ibex]

answer

[split mortar]

Cheese being referred to as Jane

[pliant ruin]

i am jane queso

jane cheese

jane fermented milk product

[manic coral]

cheese

[light linden]

do we know what percentage of the gods yharim killed?

[limpid saddle]

Anyway she at least has a very fascinating design with all the jellyfish motifs going on

[split mortar]

Lies
You are parmiigianoreggiano

[light linden]

oh wait Cei I've been meaning to ask you something if you have a moment

[cloud ibex]

about 99.9%

[manic coral]

whats up

[cloud ibex]

probably

[reef wigeon]

You guys are confusing me SOOOOO much

[split mortar]

I’d bet 20 gods max are alive

[limpid saddle]

????

[split mortar]

Wha

[limpid saddle]

Dude just like

read the EoL lore item

[light linden]

ok so that literal hellhole continent, is it a hellhole because it's a new landmass?

and thus has a lot of volcanic activity?

[manic coral]

no answer i will give

[limpid saddle]

It says she serves divinity to get a smackeral of that god essence right?

[reef wigeon]

Wasn't she supposed to be a goddess?

[pliant ruin]

no

[light linden]

[limpid saddle]

no

[split mortar]

That’s vanilla

[pliant ruin]

is she even

a goddess in vanilla

i dont think thats ever stated

[split mortar]

Where she is the god of the fae or something

[limpid saddle]

Not that I recall

[split mortar]

I think bestiary

[reef wigeon]

I know the difference between vanilla and calamity, but I got very confused about that specific part of the lore.

[spare pier]

She is called a Goddes in Vanilla

Either way her shit is becoming clearer next update

[limpid saddle]

anyway Tyrian & Silva are a little disappointing as character designs

[split mortar]

Beneath the Hallow's cleansing blanket lies a vengeful fae goddess bent on scrubbing the land of any and all impurity."

[pliant ruin]

Anahita is probably my favorite Woman Design in the mod

[limpid saddle]

thats my opinion

[limpid saddle]

very cool fish

[pliant ruin]

I did just utter the words "Woman Design" didn't i

[split mortar]

Xeroc should get hair after ascending

[split mortar]

Yes

[cloud ibex]

she will be boiled ❤️

[cloud ibex]

you did

[limpid saddle]

she is still a fish (kinda)

[cloud ibex]

anahita's good

[limpid saddle]

what are you saying fish can't have gender???

[reef wigeon]

You guys haven't seen my drawing?

[pliant ruin]

but i do genuinely really like how she manages to incorporate the elements of marine life into her design to give it this elaborate set of frills and fins that give her a almost alien vibe, if anything the only thing i'd change abt her design are the colors

[cloud ibex]

probably the best design out of the elementals at the moment

[reef wigeon]

#general-media

[pliant ruin]

I think she could look gorgeous with like

[limpid saddle]

you didnt link to it you just linked to general media

[pliant ruin]

a different palette

rather than just blue

maybe darker colors with bioluminescence...

[light linden]

that's anahita?

[pliant ruin]

yes

[cloud ibex]

yes

[light linden]

I thought it was ontilou

or whatever her name is

[limpid saddle]

ontilou's a jellyfish

[cloud ibex]

nah otonilou is jelby

[pliant ruin]

Actually yeah that's

myo nly prolbem with anahitas design

the palette is kinda bad

its literally just blue with a little bit of gray

but the silhouette itself is really fucking good

[limpid saddle]

There's not a lot of contrast that's true but it's in line with the one colour accented by another philosophy of elemental design

[reef wigeon]

This message

[limpid saddle]

i dont know why you are so desperate for us to see this mr magnion

[split mortar]

Sillies idk

[cloud ibex]

because art exists to be observed

[split mortar]

Because they’re proud of it is enough reason

[pliant ruin]

I think it could've remained solidly into the elemental side of things while being more aesthetically pleasing

[reef wigeon]

I've actually made better drawings, I just wanted to hear your opinions.

[limpid saddle]

why am i being treated like i said something mean while all of you guys ignored him talking about it

[pliant ruin]

I think a really dark blue with glowing bioluminescent colorful bits, maybe aquamarine or bright yellow in color

I looked at it

it's nice

not much else to say about it

dosen't seem particularly interesting as a design to me but its not bad

[limpid saddle]

i think he's trying to go for the 'light' thing alot

[split mortar]

Yeah, it’s good
Idk what else to say I ain’t an artist but good job

[limpid saddle]

no major corporeal body

[pliant ruin]

i think xeroc's ascended design could lean in into the sunlight aspect

[limpid saddle]

Unless he posts an updated version & he does then im stupid

[pliant ruin]

maybe give him some sorta mayan vibes

where those the sun worshipping guys i'm bad at history

[limpid saddle]

i think you mean aztec but there's a bit of a blur im not gonna act like im right about this

[stoic gulch]

what was the name of moon lord

like its old lore maybe

something at f i think?

[cloud ibex]

fovos

[stoic gulch]

thank you

[mighty zenith]

new lore btw

[cloud ibex]

not old lore yeah

[split mortar]

Moonlord and fovos are equally valid ways of referring to me

[stoic gulch]

oh

coolsies

is scal british

[split mortar]

Britain doesn’t exist seeing as the world is completely different from earth

-# in jokes, yes she absolutely is

[dusk laurel]

Britoids

[spring helm]

Personally I like the other one more

The one by Inanis

[dusk laurel]

Is it the one that actually is colored

[spring helm]

Yes

[dusk laurel]

Yeah I agree

[spring helm]

No image perm to show the picture
What a calamity

[dusk laurel]

[spring helm]

https://calamitymod.wiki.gg/wiki/File:Anahita_concept_art_2.png#/media/File:Anahita_concept_art_2.png

[dusk laurel]

I'm personally more biased because I just really like Inanis' artstyle

[spring helm]

Nitro’s “Anahita with boobs” vs Inanis’ “Anahita no boobs”
Who will win

Well I guess Nitro’s since the in-game sprite

[split mortar]

Which ones inanis?

[light linden]

what

[untold oracle]

I like this more…

[spring helm]

I must remain silent

[light linden]

no no

explain yourself

[dusk laurel]

Reading comprehension devil

[split mortar]

I prefer the no boob one

[split mortar]

I thought the links were embed fail

[spring helm]

@split mortar

[split mortar]

Yeah I have just seen

[light linden]

also random thing

[split mortar]

Inanis no boob one

[split mortar]

Elaborate

[spring helm]

I mean you already saw the difference

[light linden]

we know anything about how recent of an invention healing potions are?

[dusk laurel]

Nope

[split mortar]

Nope

[dusk laurel]

We don't know anything

[spring helm]

I was just trying to say “which one is more canon?” but the in-game sprite matches Nitro’s the most

[split mortar]

I imagine they’re quite old as a concept even if recent versions are quite different thanks to advancements

[spring helm]

I doubt the strongest ones existed before considering the ingredients needed to make them

Oh wait are we talking added to the mod or invented in-universe

[dusk laurel]

I thought he was talking about the Anahita design

Then I remembered

[split mortar]

Anything past the base one has to be from us lmao

Because hallowed hadn’t existed

-# shut up

[dusk laurel]

I think you're crazy

[split mortar]

Crazy?

-# forgor the rest :/

[dusk laurel]

Istg

If you were going to say that copypasta

[split mortar]

:3

Yes

[dusk laurel]

[hoary cape]

I was crazy once

[stoic gulch]

did the dragons take offerings

such as food and living reature

[stoic gulch]

they put me in a room

[split mortar]

A rubber room

[split mortar]

They could have, but no confirmation

[stoic gulch]

a rubber room with rats

[hoary cape]

And rats make me crazy

[stoic gulch]

Crazy?

ok lets stop now

this is stupid

[hoary cape]

It is

Replace rats with lore and it will be more channel related

[split mortar]

Crazy? I was crazy once, they put me in a room, a rubber room, a rubber room with lores and lores make me crazy

[calm patio]

[dusk laurel]

[ruby heart]

that is my addon stuff... for calmain frost dragon just existed, started the fishron family tree and died

that is it

no more is needed

[pliant ruin]

i mean

frost dragon's corpse will be in base cal

so it's not really addon stuff

unless that was changed

oih

wait

i misread

lmao

yeah alright thats fair

i thought the only part that was specifically for the addon was it being a god

[tall delta]

where is the earth dragon

and the wind and water dragon

[split mortar]

Water prob became seas god

And uh

Wind dragon?

Vetrasyl

[tall delta]

No he is storm

[split mortar]

Difference?

[pliant ruin]

well like

its flame

not fire

so i think storm being wind amke se snese

[ruby heart]

an armored core?

[dusk laurel]

Air conditioner

[ruby heart]

[split mortar]

I would spontaneously combust during the annual heatwave in summer

[dusk laurel]

British monsoon

[faint plank]

gaming brainrot

[real silo]

I have 6 ACs

Singlehandedly cooking some poor equatorial country

(I live in the equator too)

[spring helm]

one day you're house is going to be 1 meter below sea level and you will have contributed to that

[dusk laurel]

😭

[light linden]

you say that but also having an ac is really damn nice

keeps my house at 30 where I like it

[spring helm]

yeah if i didnt have ac i dont think i'd last the winter

well

maybe i would

people have been living in north america for thousands of years after all

it would suck though

[frigid sage]

Me who uses Fahrenheit:

[supple abyss]

I can’t believe crabulon is at the center of every event happening in calamity

[real silo]

Maybe

of the 6 only 3 really get used because 1's in a room no one uses
Another is in my room (I'm not at home most of the time ((college)))
Another is in my brother's room who works in another state so he's not home all the time either

[spring helm]

what is the hide of astrum deus and how does one wear it

[dusk laurel]

Cosplaying

[magic epoch]

deus furry

confirmed

[limpid saddle]

why are you trying to a skin a cosmic worm

[crystal pendant]

deus just like me

🥹

maybe i should peel off my skin...

[hybrid barn]

There's something I'm interested in, do you guys think CalClone would be more of her own person mind-wise, or closer to a brimstone producing machine in the shape of Calamitas?

[magic epoch]

former is cooler

[robust osprey]

yeah

I mean she is insane and all that

but still I think she would be her own person

beacuse it would be 100 times cooler than just brimstone machine

[rotund shore]

In that very hypothetical calamity fanfic I want to do (that I’ll probably never write), fleshing out calclone could be fun

[limpid saddle]

I mean she's alive, but she's definetly a whole different person due to living either in a lab or a test tube all her very short life

[hybrid barn]

Honestly, I agree with the general consensus here! And it makes sense that she would have a mind of her own, I doubt that Draedon would half ass a project like that, but we just don't get to see a lot of her as a person, just sort of an entity...though that could change when she gets a redesign, which is cool to imagine!

[soft geyser]

Is dog even the strongest of his species and does his species shared with storm weaver

[sinful adder]

Yharim thinks they are, but draedon, the guy who knows everything, says "no, they're not the same species at all, storm weaver is probably older than DoG, yharim is stupid"

[soft geyser]

And the reason I am saying species is because xeroc calls him a nameless serpent meaning he is just a serpent to him which implies two thing

1. he is 1 of a kind but is pathetic compare to xeroc
2. however, he could also be part of a species which xeroc knows of but he does not know his specific name

[soft geyser]

Stormy is older damn

[robust osprey]

probably he doesnt have a certain species

also storm weaver iant the same species

[sinful adder]

DoG is very strong but still miles below people like yharim, who in turn are miles below Xeroc

[robust osprey]

yharim just sucks at biology

[soft geyser]

I mean he remeber who providence was who is way weaker than dog

[sinful adder]

DoG is probably a single organism species created by something for a specific purpose

[sinful adder]

Not way weaker, just a little weaker

[robust osprey]

And is we take "distortion fella" as a """species""" he still isnt ofc

[sinful adder]

Oh, Xeroc knows who DoG is, he's saying the serpent doesn't even have a name, only a title

[soft geyser]

I believe that but they seem to be that one type of species where like they originated from the same species however evolved differently to not being able to breed together

Like they started from the same breed

[sinful adder]

Possibly, but it is more likely that DoG was just created from nothing

Consider the difference in size

[soft geyser]

That is what I am saying maybe dog species if there is one become an apex predator where as stormy became just normal predators

However seeing that dog is sapient enough to talk to us

Makes me think that yes he is a different type than the rest of his species if he has one

However, it is not the most unusual from the distortion as Signus can talk however Signus is human shaped so it could just mean there is a human like species however just they are not the strongest

[robust osprey]

signus is

50% distortion fella

50% normal world fella

[soft geyser]

Really never knew that

Thought all of distortion trio did fully originated from that area

[soft geyser]

Wait I remeber baby dogs

The ones he summon

Mid fight

Could they be the normal size of his species

Or is that his child

Dun dun dun

[robust osprey]

also signus is

higher than dog

in distortion hierarchy

IIRC

[soft geyser]

Wait actually

But bro gets killed in an instant

[robust osprey]

I mean theyre not monkeys

stronger =/= higher hierarchically

[soft geyser]

I mean dog could be an exception when he is a assistant to the strongest being in the distortaion noxus

[pliant ruin]

i doubt dog is a species

[soft geyser]

But he summons baby dogs

[pliant ruin]

i think its more likely that hes just 1 guy

[soft geyser]

I am not saying all of his species is like him

He could be a mutant

[pliant ruin]

for all i know cosmic guardians could be scrapped

dont take current outdated gameplay as basis for lore iirc

[soft geyser]

Isn’t that in the lore tho

[sinful adder]

not canon, being removed if they haven't been already

[pliant ruin]

actually might be worth checking the cosmic guardian bestiary

[soft geyser]

Really

[pliant ruin]

Though of the same species as the nameless serpent, their minds and functions are far more basic. They possess very little will of their own and blindly follow the orders of their gluttonous master.

[sinful adder]

someone told me that once

also, we know that summons are canonically creatures created from only magic

[pliant ruin]

I think it's better to atleast know where ur claims r coming from before stating them as fact

[soft geyser]

See what I mean dog is just a mutation

[sinful adder]

suppose DoG is a summon, just like Leviathan is Anahita's summon

[pliant ruin]

We

don't know that either

Leviathan's nature is left intentionally ambiguous

[robust osprey]

leviathan could be either anahita's summon or anahita's pet/friend

as stated in the lore item

[sinful adder]

most recent mention I can find

[pliant ruin]

melon gun

🍈 🔫

[sinful adder]

second most recent

[pliant ruin]

its also melon gun...

🍈 🔫

[robust osprey]

🍈

[soft geyser]

I think that was wrong tho

[pliant ruin]

I would not be surprised if they are but it shouldn't be taken as fact unless it comes directly from developers

I mean the DoG fight is being entirely reworked, so

I wouldn't take anything in the current fight to be guaranteed to stay

[robust osprey]

I mean some gameplays aspects arent canon anymore (Scal dialogue for example)

[soft geyser]

It is I thought they said it is only sprite rework and tweaks to make the new sprite function

[pliant ruin]

no

its being entirely reworked

[robust osprey]

or..giant rock eye named calamitas' clone

[pliant ruin]

the fight is old as fuck

basically every boss is being reworked save for like, 3

[soft geyser]

Is it just me or he got thinner

[pliant ruin]

he's thicker

like substantially

[robust osprey]

I think the only that wont get reworked are leviana and Scal iirc

I think also exos?

[pliant ruin]

exos too

ye

p sure

[soft geyser]

To me he just feels thinner and smaller than he used to be in his current sprite not the new one

[pliant ruin]

smaller?

h

how

[sinful adder]

can't find anything official

[soft geyser]

I just remeber him taking the entire screen or making a huge line

[pliant ruin]

dude have you

seen the new dog sprite

its like ten times the size of the current one or something

[soft geyser]

I am saying current

It feels smaller than before

The current one

The new one is humongous

[pliant ruin]

idk i dont remember old dog sprite to know

[soft geyser]

No I am saying the sprite did not change

He just got smaller and thinner

[pliant ruin]

idk

dont even remember him being that big

[sinful adder]

remember when DoG was destroyer but it drank lean

that was funny

I am glad calamity is nothing like that now

[robust osprey]

ourple destroyer

[pliant ruin]

wouldn't entirely say that

[soft geyser]

How many respite does dog have again

[sinful adder]

like 5 or something

[pliant ruin]

theres uhh

destroyer recolor

the one with the weird mouth

[soft geyser]

Cough cough yharon

[pliant ruin]

the one that showed up in the dm dokuro video

[soft geyser]

11

[sinful adder]

wow

[soft geyser]

Still waiting for the new cal clone

And yharon

And polter

And slime god

And damn

There is a lot coming out

[robust osprey]

everyone but Scal leviana and exos

[soft geyser]

Even crab and Auries?

[pliant ruin]

slime god is probably sunken sea

yes

[pliant ruin]

well not

not even

its in sunken sea

itsi n changelogs already

[soft geyser]

Why crab he id peak right now

[robust osprey]

crab is getting reworked

[soft geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/calamity-mod-calamity-terraria-goozma-crabulon-gif-5605173111966653028

Why do I always forget

[pliant ruin]

crab is the most mid boss in the game to be honest im sorry

[soft geyser]

I am saying design wise

[pliant ruin]

like its not even abrasively bad its just textbook definition mid

[robust osprey]

I thinl triangle accidentaly posted crab resprite in spoilers

[soft geyser]

And his ost

[pliant ruin]

yes the ost isnt beign changed but a good ost dosent have anything to do with the boss itself

grahhh

i hate when people use the music to justify crab being a good boss

[robust osprey]

imagine a world where a PEAK theme (infestation) gets a good boss

[soft geyser]

His design is peak nothing to complex just a simple mushroom crab

[pliant ruin]

current crab isn't a bad sprite but its design is kinda mid

he dosen't look like what he's meant to be ngl

[robust osprey]

blu crab

[pliant ruin]

he's a crab with a mushroom aesthethic, not a crab overrun by mushrooms, if that makes sense

big difference

the design ingame, i mean

[soft geyser]

The only thing I will accept is if he gets more mushrooms but keeps the color scheme

[pliant ruin]

no hes getting redesigned

[soft geyser]

I know but I want his color scheme to be same

[pliant ruin]

why wouldnt it be

its glowing mushrooms

[soft geyser]

I mean I don’t want the body to be blue I like that yellow

[robust osprey]

its not like it will be red

[pliant ruin]

yellow??

[soft geyser]

Good time to mention I am color blind

[pliant ruin]

oh ok fair

but anyways crabs sprite is good but his design is really mid becaues he dosen't look like he's overtaken by mushrooms, he just looks like he has a mushroom theming

he dosen't look like a animal's corpse that has mushrooms parasitizing it, he has the same problem old desert scourge had

[soft geyser]

I keep forgetting mods can send pictures

[pliant ruin]

old desert scourge didn't look like a sea serpent forced to adapt it just looked like a sand worm

crab is more or less the same thing

dosen't look like a crabs body overtakne by mushrooms

just looks like a mushroom crab

also the anatomy is kinda wack

[soft geyser]

He looks like the protector or apex predator of there imo

[pliant ruin]

but

thats not what he is

[soft geyser]

I know I agree he needs more mushrooms on his body

[pliant ruin]

no that's

not the problem

adding more mushrooms wouldnt really fix anything

[soft geyser]

Maybe one of his claw is a giant mooshroom that is like a crusher

Or a mace

[pliant ruin]

theproblem is that he's designed in a way that makes it seem like the mushroom aesthethic has always been there, as if he was a creature born in the mushroom biome thats made of mushrooms or something

its, again, fundamentally the same problem old Desert Scourge had

[soft geyser]

Add mushroom ripping his body from inside outside to show he is being overtaken

And make it so that he looks like is barely hanging on

As mushrooms are breaking his legs and replacing

[pliant ruin]

if you didn't read the lore you'd have a hard way time telling this thing is meant to be a normal ocean crab that has been taken over, you'd just assume it's a normal mushroom biome creature

also as i said wack anatomy

like look at his arms

crab arms aint like that

[soft geyser]

No I agree I say make mushroom break from the inside

[pliant ruin]
