[tidal tulip]

Fluent in a thousand ways to beat the shit out of you

[sleek halo]

he could AM you

LOL

[manic coral]

at leats yharim would just like fucking hit you once and it's over with

[pliant ruin]

if draedon was your enemy you'd wish you were a god and yharim found you

[tidal tulip]

He could harvest your soul lmao

[light linden]

this reminds me btw Cei if I can ask yet another question

[indigo glade]

But could Yharim fix the economy?

[manic coral]

and yharim is somehwat escapable too

[earnest wraith]

sends exo mechs to murder you when you steal his hot pockets = dreadon

[manic coral]

draedon?

[robust osprey]

getting kidnapped by draedon might be way worse than get killed

[manic coral]

no escaping him

he's everywhere

[sleek halo]

hit you with the I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream

[scenic olive]

Does he bring me into sunday morning pep talk

[sleek halo]

special

[earnest wraith]

his lil robots will just murder you without question

[scenic olive]

[pliant ruin]

draedon is such a fun character

[earnest wraith]

ya

[pliant ruin]

hes not my favorite but hes so fun to talk about

[late veldt]

You piss off Draedon and suddenly he's researching the effects of the Plague on a sapient organism

[manic coral]

draedon could probably find a way to do fucked up stuff like flip your skin inside outbut keep you alive but your nerves exposed constantly or some really fucke dup stuff if he actually wnated you to suffer

but also

[scenic olive]

Hes gonna strap me to a chair and have me listen to his XE-76 Yappatron

[manic coral]

dreadon wouldn't want you to suffer

he doesn't care abou tthat stuff

or even processes it

[earnest wraith]

he is this 660 year old robot that just wants to do his fun lil science experiments that could potentially kill everyone and have massive repercussions

[subtle geyser]

also is the bee thing with yharim canon or is it a community meme

does yharim just really love bees

[pliant ruin]

flanderization is a fun word

[tidal tulip]

yharim REALLY likes bees

[shrewd geyser]

I think it was because he was from the jungle

[tidal tulip]

on a more serious note, yeah it's canon

[pliant ruin]

it's not

[indigo glade]

I just realised that Draedon hyperfixating on something is unfair... He doesn't need to eat, drink, sleep, or excrete. He can just continuously work...

[pliant ruin]

yharim does not have any specific preference for bees

[tidal tulip]

it's in the lore items?

[dusk laurel]

Nop

[pliant ruin]

the reason yharim was mad at draedon was because he was "enslaving" the bees which in his eyes made him no better than the gods he opposed

once again

[indigo glade]

Papyrus only knows how to cook Spaghetti.

[pliant ruin]

flanderization is a fun word

[indigo glade]

I don't know why I capitalised spaghetti.

[pliant ruin]

He also hates puns!

[late veldt]

queen bee lore item

[subtle geyser]

I know

this part

[tidal tulip]

im thinking the same thing

[dusk laurel]

Yharim only mentions that Queen Bees are cool creatures, not that they are like the best thing ever

[pliant ruin]

Yes that is him pitying the bees due to how he saw them being turned into living weapons

[earnest wraith]

dreadon does not understand why using bio-engineeringg to commit mass muder aginst entire populations is bad

[pliant ruin]

It is not because he adores bees

[subtle geyser]

true

[robust osprey]

I mean QB is such a cool creature compared to an average bee

so yeah

[earnest wraith]

queen bee is a cool lil fella :D

[manic coral]

yharim hates slavery. that's why he just kills the people he WOULD otherwise keep as slaves instead!

[scenic olive]

Queen bee would look terrifying irl

[manic coral]

what a saint!

[earnest wraith]

why let other people enslave others, when you can do it yourself :D

[robust osprey]

irl queen bees are already kinda creepy, now imagine it being more than double your size

[dusk laurel]

the inconspicuous child manipulation

[robust osprey]

I would fucking die

[late veldt]

I take it this Yharim would fucking hate the old one

[tidal tulip]

"Their idyllic demeanor is a rarity nowadays. …a thing of beauty even." -from queen bee lore. now that i reread it, it's moreso of a praise of a specific trait of the queen bee. but that means at the very least, he admires them somewhat

[dusk laurel]

Yeah

[earnest wraith]

its like 3x your size as the terrarian

[pliant ruin]

Oh my god old duke would be such a hit to Yharim's morals

[visual kiln]

duke old

hello users

[dusk laurel]

old asshole

[visual kiln]

im here

[pliant ruin]

Dragon
Incredibly fucking evil
Literally enslaves other creatures

hi azzy

[visual kiln]

he can go just like

[manic coral]

i feel like in part because, if you don't mind me maybe coming across as a lil self-centered

becuase draedon is written like an actual robot

[subtle geyser]

She had no where else to go!

[manic coral]

[visual kiln]

"but its an awffshewt!!!"

[indigo glade]

Not Auric, so he doesn't care, actually...

[late veldt]

I mean doesn't he specifically like auric dragons?

[pliant ruin]

it's an offshoot guys it's okay

[manic coral]

not like in msot media where most robots are jsut written like, and i'm going to blunt saying this as an autistic person

[pliant ruin]

ignore the fact that it's basically an auric dragon with how close it is to them

[manic coral]

like autistic people

her'es the ttest robot characters should go through

[subtle geyser]

true true I agree with this statement

[manic coral]

if you want them to be clearly different from humans

why doesn't your robot chaarcter get a joke?

if it's becuase "they don't understand how jokes work", you've failed

[scenic olive]

its because

[earnest wraith]

does he perhaps not get human morals or emotion's?

[scenic olive]

theyre robots

[manic coral]

the correct answer should be "becuase it isn't programmed to feel that emotion"

"it's a fucking robot"

[earnest wraith]

yep

[scenic olive]

chatgpt vs draedon

[manic coral]

draedon understand jokes and how emotions work pretty much fine

he just fundementally isn't made to FEEL the emotions attatched to them

[earnest wraith]

if your robot is just human but does not understand specific human thinngs just for the ""plot"" than thats a bad robot charactor imo

[indigo glade]

Comprehension error. To install humour driver, please insert the correct CDs.

[pliant ruin]

kill

[subtle geyser]

live

[dusk laurel]

murder

[manic coral]

i just feel like this is a fundemental failing of most robot character people try to write as "distinct from humans in a robot way"

[tidal tulip]

I suppose Draedon sees ethics as less valuable than humans

[sleek halo]

TRUE

[subtle geyser]

FALSE

this is slander

[manic coral]

and something i am very careful with when it comes to Draedon

[pliant ruin]

yharim hates slavery. it's why he bombed illmeris and killed millions

[subtle geyser]

I would never stoop so low

[pliant ruin]

there isn't even a punchline yharim bombed illmeris and killed millions

[subtle geyser]

I mean

[sleek halo]

he sent a child

yo war

[tidal tulip]

"I myself have been subjected to a litany of baseless boasts and accusations in my time."

[dusk laurel]

i love firebombing fish people

[manic coral]

nonono, CALAMITAS did

[sleek halo]

to annihilate a fucking kingdom

[earnest wraith]

technically Scal did that

[subtle geyser]

it's better than inslaving them

[indigo glade]

:)

[manic coral]

sendng the child solider to do it is way better

[earnest wraith]

true

[sleek halo]

15 year old

[subtle geyser]

exactly my point

[sleek halo]

sent to

annihilate a fucking kingdom

[subtle geyser]

they had it coming

[manic coral]

with the way i spell sometimes you'd never guess that i'm the person who writes 60% of the dialogue for Yharim and Draedon

[sleek halo]

you spell

[subtle geyser]

I've noticed

[sleek halo]

as badly i spell

[earnest wraith]

i love how Scal is like super ultra mega powerful, but does not know how to anything but basic magic, at least when we face her

[sleek halo]

which isdm not

good

rather baf

bad

[manic coral]

i swear i write for most of the fancy dialogue characters

[indigo glade]

I think you've made your point, Aster.

[sleek halo]

shhh

[tidal tulip]

Draedon? Dude, I gotta say, Draedon's writing is my personal favorite, that's awesome

[earnest wraith]

ya

[late veldt]

could prime Yharim stand a chance against immediately post acc Xeroc or nah?

[indigo glade]

A few minor grammatical and spelling errors...

[dusk laurel]

Yharim is already in his prime

[pliant ruin]

you're gay

you have the gay person typing syndrome

[manic coral]

i will say i am glad most of Draedon's dialogue is written cohesively enough that you can't really tell parts of it are written by different people

like

[sleek halo]

thet chekcs out

[late veldt]

yes. prime Yharim as in now yharim

[sleek halo]

FUCK

[pliant ruin]

LMAO

[manic coral]

some of the topics have writers switch mid-sentence

[pliant ruin]

YOU TOO ASTER

YOU TOO

[indigo glade]

trying hard

not to laugh

[manic coral]

and nobody notices

[indigo glade]

at 3 am...

[dusk laurel]

I mean Yharim can't even destroy any rocks in the Aerie

[earnest wraith]

he used to be this like ancient legend for hundreds of years and than dreadon just hits up yharim like, "yoooo mind i work for your army? im that guy from the legend like hundreds of years ago"

[dusk laurel]

immediate post-ascension xeroc could carve out a rock

[late veldt]

oh shit true

we gotta hand his ass a shovel and stop time for a while

[manic coral]

it's funny how there's these complex in-universe reasons for it but it's also funny that

becuase of it

[earnest wraith]

yharim is so weak, cant even carve out an acient rock from an industructable place hahahaha

[tidal tulip]

I suspect Yharim could go toe to toe with immediate post ascension Xeroc but Xeroc would still win a grand majority of the time. If not, then you could say Yharim won't win any

[shrewd geyser]

he doesn't have block breaking perms

[earnest wraith]

peak Fovos is stronger than yharim

[subtle geyser]

what if I have yharon with me

[tidal tulip]

How the hell does Xeroc train tho

[dusk laurel]

peak ML is the 2nd strongest character we know of

[manic coral]

people can theoretically make jokes about "oh haha the ground can survive these attacks that can destroy cities, what, does the ground scale to country level or something?"

[late veldt]

Maybe Yharim's army full force could take on immediately post acc Xeroc

[indigo glade]

Can't break blocks at world spawn, spawn protection's on.

[manic coral]

but the anwser cna unironically be

[late veldt]

like Shakidou

[manic coral]

"Yes."

[shrewd geyser]

rip xD

[earnest wraith]

he just has the primordial light so he probally does not need to train, right?

[light linden]

ngl the more I think about draedon

[manic coral]

ha

[light linden]

the more he reminds me of cephalons

[earnest wraith]

Xeroc btw

[manic coral]

am aware

[tidal tulip]

How DOES Xeroc train?

[late veldt]

How the hell does Xeroc train anyways

[manic coral]

constant pattern in things i write

[earnest wraith]

he just chills in some random area of the map

[manic coral]

the strongest people are always those who worked for their strength the most

or sometimes really don't want said power

[tidal tulip]

I can imagine them carving out small areas in other planets as "training" 💀

[manic coral]

and think their life would be better without it, really

[late veldt]

like how the hell does Xeroc pump weights

[manic coral]

and xeroc pretty clearly isn't the latter

[earnest wraith]

Xeroc just killed a near-death dragon to get his power

[eager bluff]

same way anyone else does im pretty sure he has arms

[late veldt]

ok but

what does

he

lift

[shrewd geyser]

xD

[eager bluff]

boulders

[light linden]

uhhh

[subtle geyser]

heavy rock

[shrewd geyser]

the moon

[tidal tulip]

To be fair, Xeroc also was the strongest human at the time

[manic coral]

if that was all xeroc did they wouldn't be so strong

[tidal tulip]

I don't think simply being attuned would get him that high

[manic coral]

dude was one of the few people going toe to toe with ML

[shrewd geyser]

he bench presses the moon lord for fun

[earnest wraith]

dident he also absorb his aruic soul?

[dusk laurel]

yes

[earnest wraith]

oooooh

[dusk laurel]

you can still train afterwards

[manic coral]

like he was one of the few people able to fight it

and survive

[late veldt]

Xeroc should follow one of those Minecraft house in the ground tiktok videos in the Aerie to fuck with Yharim

[earnest wraith]

Fovos is just like insanely powerful

[manic coral]

emerald i really have to say

you might be the msot consistently funny person here

congraulations

[eager bluff]

i know what all of these words mean individually

[late veldt]

I'm not funny at all that's mostly an insult to everyone else here

[earnest wraith]

wait, is peak Fovos weaker or stronger than peak Scal

[pliant ruin]

alright that's it

[manic coral]

stronger

stronger than yharim

[pliant ruin]

@late veldt I'M the internet funnywoman around here we're killing eachother

[manic coral]

given, xeroc wasn't THAT strong

but

xeroc could stand up against it

and survive

and actually inflict damage

[sudden ruin]

cheesr

[manic coral]

ok but i see you funny elsewhere

[eager bluff]

i assume its like a pissed off raccoon vs a person

[indigo glade]

People fighting!

[earnest wraith]

i feel like yharim is just drunk somewhere on some random sky island really far away, and passed out waiting for us to just arrive

[tidal tulip]

Will we eventually find out whether Xeroc's consumption of Zertaros' soul was willing?

[dusk laurel]

I don't think Yharim drinks personally

[manic coral]

man it'll be cool to finally be able to eventually talk about

[sleek halo]

lol

[manic coral]

WHAT the Aerie is

and WHY it is the way it is

[dusk laurel]

it doesn't fit with him being an extremely efficient warlord

[sleek halo]

12 thousand years later

[tidal tulip]

I'm so hyped for the elaboration of lore in SSO

[sleek halo]

we will discover that the aerie

was secretly

[earnest wraith]

i feel like yharim would drink a decent amount, not a lot but like medium amounts

[subtle geyser]

calamity lore develops in real time

[sleek halo]

gleep hlorp

[dusk laurel]

glorp

zeeper

[light linden]

polyumb

[tidal tulip]

"YOO IT'S GLEEP"

[eager bluff]

idk what you're talking about alcohol makes you ridiculously effective at killing things

[dusk laurel]

polydumb

[manic coral]

tbh im half tempted to let you just take The Rock to the Codebreaker and let Draedon analyze it so i cna yap about it early in some shape or form

[sleek halo]

Draedon when he’s like

[tidal tulip]

ask the drunk princess with her alcohol that buffs you so long as you don't consume too much of it

[late veldt]

uhhhh I'm mostly just a kobold shaped punching bag here. I'm not even funny she can just beat the crap out of me and steal my wallet

[light linden]

I feel like draedon would be VERY unamused if we asked him to analyze a rock

[earnest wraith]

that would be peak fiction tbh, he's just like "how the hell did you get this?"

[sleek halo]

“This fundamentally doesn’t make sense”

[sleek halo]

i think if you told him

u got it from

a god

who controls the fucking sun

he’d be pretty damn inclined

[tidal tulip]

If the rock's got some special property from the Aerie, I think it'd be great. Otherwise, I agree

[sleek halo]

to analyze the tock

[earnest wraith]

dreadonn would just be like "oh shiiii"

[sleek halo]

or more simply

say it’s from the Aerie

[manic coral]

yeha no he'd be VERY unamused at first until he was like "sure fuck it fine whateve ri have nothing else better to be doing right now" and then is actually like

[tidal tulip]

I would love to tell Draedon about Xeroc honestly

[sleek halo]

he would immediately be intetested

[manic coral]

"wait this is interesting actually"

[sleek halo]

honestly

[light linden]

ngl that isn't a bad idea cei

[earnest wraith]

yea

i agree mate

[sleek halo]

u might have a way he uh

[magic epoch]

that one ratatouille gif

[sleek halo]

finds out about Xeroc too lol

[indigo glade]

I love getting a tock from my favourite character, Teroc.

[sleek halo]

brcause there is a 0% chance

he does not ask

[eager bluff]

dwayne detox johnson

[sleek halo]

where you got it from

[earnest wraith]

yea

[tidal tulip]

how the FUCK does no one else notice the big ass light sigil in the sky?

[manic coral]

i mean atm they never NAME themselves

[earnest wraith]

he would be very sus about where this is from

[manic coral]

which is my excuse atm for

not tlaking about them with other NPCs

[sleek halo]

uhh

[eager bluff]

its not there you're just hallucinating

[sleek halo]

you’d still describe it

I think it would very much entice

[earnest wraith]

thats why Xeroc is currently called "Nameless Deity"

[sleek halo]

Draedon

[manic coral]

i did cosndier having a topic option for any NPC for "Xeroc" and literally all of them being like

[sleek halo]

dies

[tidal tulip]

Xeroc was just a fever dream

[manic coral]

"uh who the fuck is that"

[dusk laurel]

Explodes

[manic coral]

"never hear of them, sorry"

[sleek halo]

I can only imagine permafrost

vaguely knowing of a tale

anout that

[earnest wraith]

yea

[light linden]

I wonder if calamitas knows anything about xeroc

[tidal tulip]

Doubt it

[manic coral]

i'd iamgine he's heard vague tales MAYBE but doesn't know a name to relate to them

[light linden]

even just the name

[earnest wraith]

permafrost would be the type of guy to know about some obscure Xeroc lore

[sleek halo]

honestly out of everyone we meet in game

[late veldt]

"it's great for laundry"

[indigo glade]

This reminds me of that Chapter 1 dialogue towards Sans.

[sleek halo]

most likely person other than yharon & yharim

[manic coral]

there's one person you could relaisticlaly ACTUALLY ask about Xeroc and get a proper response

.

and you kill him

[sleek halo]

to know

[manic coral]

[sleek halo]

Lunatic

Cultist

[manic coral]

yeah

LC

[earnest wraith]

oooh yea

[sleek halo]

cuz uh

dragon cult lol

LOL

[eager bluff]

perma would probably know stories that line up in the right way that heavily implies theres some ridiculously powerful god out there but there wouldnt be any associated names

[sleek halo]

idk why i typed lol twice

diesnof peak

[earnest wraith]

the dragon cult would DEFINITLY know something about Xeroc

[manic coral]

he is the ONE person you could PROBABLY ask about Xeroc and get an answer from... but he's too far gone to bother answering you

[tidal tulip]

Was Xeroc's ascension and name just lost to time barring a few people?

[manic coral]

[late veldt]

Yeah LC is a really interesting figure who you must kinda stomp on without really thinking about it. Even Yharim doesn't have much to say

[manic coral]

why would anybody know the specifics?

[glacial rampart]

i support whatever crimes you commit or something

[glacial rampart]

idk, the janitor?

[sleek halo]

he’s also

[earnest wraith]

yharim is just like "who? ooooh them, i forgot they existed for a sec"

[sleek halo]

dead

which is probably the more pressing matter

LOL

[tidal tulip]

Good point

[manic coral]

Yharon cna't communicate well enough with you to give a proper response

yharim's not a firsthand source

[earnest wraith]

yharon is just a lil burnt chicken nugget

[manic coral]

ML, i mean

it's ML

[patent tiger]

is AoE still loosely based on noxus or are they just completely seperate now

[manic coral]

[sleek halo]

ML honestly

probably doesn’t remember Xeroc much

[patent tiger]

also who wrote AoE's lore item?

[sleek halo]

he’d remember Zeratros far more

[manic coral]

you are asking these questions in the wrong place

[magic epoch]

area of effect??

[signal juniper]

wog boss

[tidal tulip]

Avatar of Empitness

[manic coral]

fair

and i mena

[eager bluff]

my headcanon is that the only way anyone (aside from dragon cult) could know about xeroc existing is because of a group of folk tales with similar structures and/or morals have just a few too many nearly identical inconsistencies for it to all be a coincidence

[manic coral]

can't ask Zeratros

he's beena little dead for a while

i mean

[earnest wraith]

ya

[manic coral]

you'll eventually be able to ask

[earnest wraith]

just a lil while

[manic coral]

uh

xeroc about

[patent tiger]

where do i ask then cuz it's still about lore stuff

[manic coral]

well

xeroc

[sleek halo]

the oldest gods

r probably dead

[late veldt]

The corpse of a genocidal Eldritch god doesn't seem to be the type to offer up a philosophical conversation

[sleek halo]

as well so

[light linden]

hey cei?

[earnest wraith]

xeroc would probally just kill you on-sight

[manic coral]

probably the WotG server

[patent tiger]

alr thx

[manic coral]

it's sure not about cal lore so

i aint got answers

however, i hope you get them :D

[light linden]

does ascending affect the storage capacity of a brain?

[sleek halo]

i believe gods r

[late veldt]

because Xeroc does this. mhm. definitely.

[sleek halo]

fundamentallt different from us

[manic coral]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sleek halo]

in how they perceive

knowledge and whatnot

[light linden]

I'm asking because uh

[sleek halo]

and life/existence

[manic coral]

i mean

[late veldt]

Xeroc is like one of the only people who talks to you before he tries to murder you

[manic coral]

they literally don't

[light linden]

Xeroc has been alive for around 800 years

[subtle geyser]

by the way why is yharim 9 feet tall

[sleek halo]

that is just my headcanon

[manic coral]

you can test this in-game

[earnest wraith]

eh

[sleek halo]

he’s like 8ft

but uh

well he’s tall

and also armor

so

[light linden]

the human brain can only hold around 450 years of info

[sleek halo]

we have talk people in real life

they do infact exist

[tidal tulip]

Bald Terrarian being 5'3''

[earnest wraith]

dragonn body upgrade

[signal juniper]

id asume ascension is like a cpu upgrade

[sleek halo]

what is more impressive

[subtle geyser]

SO I AM RIGHT THE ARMOR ADDS HEIGHT

[sleek halo]

Is that Yharim

more than fills out his frame

he is fucking wide

he is huge

that is far more unusual

[subtle geyser]

how tall is yharim without armor then?

[sleek halo]

than his height

[eager bluff]

the impressive part is that he doesnt need assistance walking

[subtle geyser]

who says the armor doesn't do that

[earnest wraith]

wait cei, why does the terrarian even start his adventure and what is his goal in the end?

[indigo glade]

Made of muscle.

[dusk laurel]

[manic coral]

i'd argue the impressive part is whatever trianing methods he uses to keep himself in peak form at the age of 130

[late veldt]

post the image

[pliant ruin]

[subtle geyser]

drugs?

[eager bluff]

no the yhimulants got removed

[sleek halo]

that would realistically

degrade you faster as wel

[glacial rampart]

I really like that Yharim is like, still at his peak physical form, but that doesn't stop the fact that age WILL catch up to him within the next decade

[subtle geyser]

I know

[glacial rampart]

like he can keep himself strong

[sleek halo]

well Draedon could probably whip something up ngl

[dusk laurel]

(boss rush)

[glacial rampart]

but its not gonna just keep him alive forever

[earnest wraith]

i think his aruic armor being attuned to him also helps yharim actually survive for a long time

[glacial rampart]

he still has a mortal limit of his life

[indigo glade]

I've said this before in here, but I see Yharim the same way as those old martial arts teachers who constantly train and could win a fight against anyone.

[manic coral]

eh who cares about lgoic too much he's the dude who can atomize a guy in a punch

thats how i feel

[glacial rampart]

will SSO make the table slam canon

[manic coral]

"yeah it's cool so it works"

[eager bluff]

hes the guy with exploding fists

[sleek halo]

glorp

[subtle geyser]

so he just tall

no real reason

[sleek halo]

i was talking about

drugs

LOL

[manic coral]

no

[earnest wraith]

dreadon himself says that he needs you to survive or else by the time another person like you comes into the frame than yhrim will be dead by natural causes

[sleek halo]

genes

[late veldt]

if you spend long enough in your playthrough you can enter the Yharim fight at the perfect moment and see him wither away like that dude in Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade

[sleek halo]

he’s genetically

lucky

[glacial rampart]

guys calamity is bad actually ive decided

[subtle geyser]

how much height is the armor and how much is him?

[eager bluff]

but yeah the fact that his bones dont just flat out break under his own weight is quite impressive

[manic coral]

no

[subtle geyser]

I don't know why but his armor reads like it has heels to me

[sleek halo]

he does special bone training

[manic coral]

like The End in MGS3

[sleek halo]

obviously

[manic coral]

where if you activate the fight

then quit the game and wait a week

he dies of old age

[sleek halo]

honestly yeah

[late veldt]

yeah

[manic coral]

that except not playing for 10 years

[sleek halo]

the most illogical part about Yharim is that he throws a punch

and all the bones in body don’t ezplode

[late veldt]

super go outside achievement

[manic coral]

or you know

[sleek halo]

they just got stronger with him

LOL

[manic coral]

just immediatly fucking kill him

[sleek halo]

yeah

but his muscles at least got stronger

via training

his bones…

idk about that one

he’s got some pretty damn cool bones

[manic coral]

he did the special strong bone training he learned back in '60

[sleek halo]

true

he drinks milk

[cosmic zenith]

Lmao

[sleek halo]

every hour

[late veldt]

You defeat Yharim and then immediately do the Deadpool 3 opening scene

[indigo glade]

So you know how mewing is meant to make your jaw stronger? He does that for his entire skeletal system.

[sleek halo]

shut up

and explode

[manic coral]

die

[eager bluff]

either his bones are much thicker and more robust than normal or they're at a point where they're beginning to be made out of more stuff than just calcium because calcium ultimately just isnt strong enough, or at least it isnt strong enough with the human skeletal structure

[indigo glade]

:3

[dusk laurel]

Seeker of Brainrot

[sleek halo]

he’s got auric bones

[manic coral]

yharim got auric bones like yharon has

[sleek halo]

obviously

LOL

[manic coral]

LMAO?

[eager bluff]

thats the only logical explanation

[sleek halo]

honestly w

ould make sense

knds

kinda

and would be cool

the attunement literally gives him auric bones

[magic epoch]

auric milk to get auric calcium to get strong bones

[late veldt]

imagine getting your skeleton replaced with auric and then it rejects your flesh and nerves n garbage

[magic epoch]

what the fuck am isaying

[indigo glade]

So that's why there's no natural Auric Ore... Yharim's been eating it all!

[sleek halo]

TRUE

he consumes it

[dusk laurel]

terrifying

[sleek halo]

like a hungry guy

[signal juniper]

auric cereal

[dusk laurel]

lithovore

[sleek halo]

oh god

he’d have

[dusk laurel]

rock eater

[sleek halo]

auric teeth

the yellowest teeth ever

[manic coral]

imagine how much it'd suck to take an auric shit

[signal juniper]

its like grills

[manic coral]

im sorry im tired my brian is composing

[eager bluff]

like unironically his bones being at least partially transformed into auric upon attunement is the only real way he can physiologically exist at that size with the capabilities he has

[late veldt]

It's like those HL1 videos where they eat the xen crystals

[sleek halo]

I think more importantly

withstanding the impact

of anything he does

[dusk laurel]

brian

[sleek halo]

like a punch

[dusk laurel]

like

[indigo glade]

Imagine how bad it would be if you weren't attuned.

[dusk laurel]

like

[sleek halo]

without thrning into bone soup

[manic coral]

i think you'd have much bigger problems

[late veldt]

Oh you're fighting the Hive Mind?

[eager bluff]

anyways this brings a new question to the table

[cosmic zenith]

Who's brian

[eager bluff]

since mana is stored in the bones and since yharim has auric bones

[magic epoch]

of Cthulhu

[manic coral]

you

[eager bluff]

does this mean yharim also has auric mana

[indigo glade]

i'm giggling so hard it is 4 am send help

[manic coral]

you're brian now

[dusk laurel]

No

you have no idea how much my friend will just

randomly say this

this line haunts me

[dusk laurel]

🐴

[magic epoch]

i can do an amazing joe swanson impression

[spare pier]

The answer to any question about physical strength 99% of the time can just be boiled down to "they're applying [insert universe's energy system]"

[spring helm]

i can't believe Yharim's first words to you when you enter the Aerie are
"It seems today that all you see is violence in movies and sex on TV"

[indigo glade]

But what if I'm not a Family Guy™️?

[sleek halo]

unacceptable

[magic epoch]

they're applying performance enhancing drugs

[late veldt]

execution

[sleek halo]

TRUE

[dusk laurel]

Yharim stimulants

[sleek halo]

😭

Yharim then only brought violence

[eager bluff]

genuine question did yharims bone mana get turned to auric with his bones and if it did would that make all of the spells he casts explosive

[sleek halo]

so he technically improved tv

[sleek halo]

it shoulf all be electrical

not explosive

[spare pier]

Jacob Auric Bones are a half shitpost

[late veldt]

I don't think auric bones is canon

[spare pier]

[late veldt]

Half

[manic coral]

what do you mean half

only yharon has them

[sleek halo]

i am headcanoning that Yharim has

[dusk laurel]

halfbecca

[late veldt]

50% auric 2% milk

[sleek halo]

auric bones now

he is auric bones man

[late veldt]

wait Yharon has auric bones

[spare pier]

Yes, that's why I said half a shitpost

[manic coral]

yes

[indigo glade]

I think that is what she meant by half...

[manic coral]

look at the gore sprites

he literally has auric bones

[late veldt]

is that how Yharim got the auric armor?

[spare pier]

...He doesn't have gore Tundra

He turns into ash

[manic coral]

WHAT

[spare pier]

[manic coral]

he doesn't anymore????

[dusk laurel]

[spare pier]

Yeah he turns into ash

[dusk laurel]

yeah

[sleek halo]

get ashed

[eager bluff]

i like having actual answers for this kinda stuff and not handwaving it with "oh yeah the energy system is different"

[manic coral]

well when he had gore sprites

[dusk laurel]

desintegrates

[manic coral]

he had auric bones

[eager bluff]

cei its from burning sky

[late veldt]

Imagine having piss bones

[manic coral]

ok yeha that too

[spare pier]

In this case it's "the energy system is the same"

Because like

[manic coral]

reb you smell

[spare pier]

Dragon Ball? They are applying Ki in their bodies

[manic coral]

:/

[sleek halo]

NO

DON’T SAY DRAGON BALL

[manic coral]

DRAGON WHAT

[sleek halo]

NOOO

[dusk laurel]

there's only one piece left

[sleek halo]

[spare pier]

Naruto? Chakra. Bleach? Soul idk. JJK? Cursed Energy. One Piece?

[late veldt]

Dragon Aerie

[spare pier]

Fuck One Piece doesn't have that

[dusk laurel]

yeah the dragon is eerie alright

[glacial rampart]

hey gordon about that beer i owe ya

[manic coral]

really how the manga handles super saiyan blue is a bajillion times better

[eager bluff]

cei i thought you already had your daily allotted hour long dragon ball session

[spare pier]

(For the first half of the story)

[manic coral]

it gives SSG an actual use

[sleek halo]

Ur days are numbered

[manic coral]

and it doesnt jsut get instantly sidelined

[sleek halo]

(I wanna discuss it too)

(But like…h

[magic epoch]

holy shit is ssg the new slime boss

[manic coral]

it's nice to see it used more

[sleek halo]

[glacial rampart]

speaking of dragon ball

[manic coral]

becuase tbh it does LOOK better msot of the time t- ok bit over

[spring helm]

rebecca you are a fake fan how did you not remember

[spare pier]

Haki is different tbh

[glacial rampart]

i saw daima it was quite excellent

[late veldt]

DAMNIT 🐌

[dusk laurel]

there should be a thread for every offtopic convo here and see how many there are

[sleek halo]

No

[magic epoch]

no i think it's super slime girl that's cooler imo

[sleek halo]

no more

dragonball

the conversation will be ANNIHILATED

[manic coral]

the ending left a lot to be desired imo but overall it was pretty good

[sleek halo]

By 3 hours of dragon ball

[spare pier]

Let's talk about Dragon Spheres

[manic coral]

wont go into specifics since yeah

spoilers

[glacial rampart]

like frieza annihilated planet vegeta

[indigo glade]

One Piece's explanation is literally "they are like that just because".

[late veldt]

Honestly when I saw Queen Slime become a thing my first thought was "oh this is gonna fuck up calamity lol"

[sleek halo]

like me about to annihilate you

[spare pier]

No, it's literally

"They want it a lot"

[spring helm]

ok i take back what i said haki doesnt explain why Zoro lifted a building

[spare pier]

In Alabasta

[glacial rampart]

I see where you're coming from but personally i was a fan of it

[eager bluff]

even if auric bones arent an actual thing i still like to have theories like this because i do like grounding things in reality even if its only a little

[spare pier]

Anyways Cei is in the chat

[manic coral]

so like how you can manifest extra imaginary joints that work in Baki by just believing really hard that you have them

[spare pier]

I don't want to spoil her

[spring helm]

Cei in the chat!!!

[sleek halo]

true

[spare pier]

...Kind of but that's spoiling stuff for you

[sleek halo]

i’ve accepted it as my headcanon

technically

[spring helm]

what nefarious crimes will she commit

[spare pier]

Go read One Piece!!!!

[sleek halo]

we can’t be

proven wrong

[indigo glade]

What...

[sleek halo]

because we won’t be seeing Yharim bones

probably

[indigo glade]

@manic coral Read/Watch One Piece.

[glacial rampart]

is the next season of live action one piece gonna have chopper

[cosmic zenith]

It's simply that one piece of media you have to consume....

[spare pier]

(Read)

[late veldt]

I just think that the Armor absorbs the shock Really Fucking Well™

[glacial rampart]

I wanna see fucked up netflix budget cgi chopper

[sleek halo]

but the animation gets so pretty

[spring helm]

spoiler alert later on in One Piece it's revealed that the fruit Luffy ate made his body rubbery

[manic coral]

i'm prettier

[sleek halo]

it was good

then it was

bad

for a while

[spare pier]

Ok yes I want to watch Wano with her

[sleek halo]

i’ve hearr

[manic coral]

i cant believe this

😔

[spare pier]

But that will take a billion years

[indigo glade]

Read ia definitely better, but watching certain scenes is just... amazing...

[glacial rampart]

its actually revealed that Luffy becomes a pirate as well

[late veldt]

I wonder how fucked up Yharim was by the lava. I always imagined it as like. worse than Vader

[spring helm]

i can't wait for cei to reach that one arc where it takes 20 minutes for half a chapter's worth of content to pass by

[sleek halo]

same ngl

[cosmic zenith]

We should make Yharim do an "auric skull emoji"

[glacial rampart]

thats just watching namek

[sleek halo]

meant to say same to this

[indigo glade]

Spoiler alert: Luffy says he wants to be the King of the Pirates.

[sleek halo]

TRUE

[spring helm]

i mean you can take a dip in lava and come out ok after like a minute

maybe an hour in-universe

[sleek halo]

but auric

[spare pier]

I still can't believe Toei fumbled both Enies Lobby AND Dressrosa ngl

[manic coral]

spoiler alert: jackie chun is actually master roshi

[cosmic zenith]

That should clear things up

[spring helm]

WHAT

[spare pier]

Anyways we should like

[sleek halo]

i think the only bad thing about

[spare pier]

Get on topic I think

[indigo glade]

Lore.

[sleek halo]

auric bone yharim theory

is that his teeth would be yellow

foreevr

LOL

[dusk laurel]

lmao

[glacial rampart]

Where was jackie chun when Cell arrived?

[spring helm]

auric enamel?

[late veldt]

Yharim didn't grind for life crystals 😔

[sleek halo]

thought it would mean

[spring helm]

ain't no way Yharim didnt grind for life crystals

[magic epoch]

we found something more luxurious than a golden tooth

[sleek halo]

Yharim wouldnhave a scary af bite

[indigo glade]

I thought teeth aren't bones?

[spring helm]

what is he a noob?

[eager bluff]

teeth arent bones no

[sleek halo]

he’d pull a goku but

actually deadly

[spare pier]

Bro if his teeth are Auric

He can't eat

[sleek halo]

why

[indigo glade]

Then why is Aster suggesting his teeth would be yellow...

[dusk laurel]

rejects the food

[sleek halo]

does auric reject fucking foood????

[glacial rampart]

sounds like an episode of chowder lowkey

[dusk laurel]

literally king midas

[glacial rampart]

mung gets auric dentures

cant eat anymore

[sleek halo]

that would mean he rejects god damn grass

[magic epoch]

just keep the mouth closes?? 5head

[eager bluff]

teeth are made of enamel which is made with quite a large amount of calcium and i dont know if attuning has the ability to differentiate between bone and enamel

[sleek halo]

he’d cause forest fires

by existing

in any

with his armor

if he couldn’t eat fucking food

with auric teeth

[manic coral]

man it's so werid that they made JAckie Chun a Roshi costume on Sparking Zero

[spare pier]

Actually nevermind you bring up a good point

[spring helm]

i thought yharim could control the auric rejection

[manic coral]

why didnt they amke him his own character

so weird

they're entirely different

[spring helm]

lazy devs

smh my head

[magic epoch]

it's funny

[glacial rampart]

yeah, same with that red ribbon soldier from super hero. they just made him a piccolo alt

[spring helm]

didnt even put chi chi as a playable character

[glacial rampart]

that guy was so helpful to them

[sleek halo]

The friendly blade of grass being determined as a threat by the auric armor:

(he has ignited the worst fire known to history)

[manic coral]

yeh and then he just randomly vanished midway through the movie

[dusk laurel]

the harmless bacteria after the auric fucking kills it

[manic coral]

i mean wtf man

[eager bluff]

cant believe it the aerie canonically exists in california

[glacial rampart]

i guess he had dinner plans

[sleek halo]

sontrue

[glacial rampart]

son gotrue

[sleek halo]

[late veldt]

how much of an effect on the environment did the burning heretics alive thing have anyways?

[glacial rampart]

grant my wish shenron, revive aster

[sleek halo]

i don’t inagine any good ones

yharim when he pollutes the planet

)he made it better becuas ethe gods are dead)

(sure nuclear winter has set in but hear me out)

[spare pier]

Actually the Crusade was just a means of fertilizing the jungle

Yharim killed all those people because he wanted to turn their bodies into compost and solve deforestation

[sleek halo]

true!!!

obviously

[spare pier]

He's actually the good guy

[sleek halo]

yharim feeding a dead heretic

ornwell

sinner

to the dragonfolly

[glacial rampart]

least elaborate money making scheme in The Sims

[sleek halo]

(how thoughtful)

[spring helm]

circle of life

[spare pier]

OK NOT GONNA LIE

[spring helm]

gods eat the dragons

[sleek halo]

he would totally donit

[spare pier]

THIS SOUNDS RIGHT UP HIS ALLEY

[spring helm]

dragons eat the god worshippers

[sleek halo]

he’d probably take his armor off

so he doesn’t accidentally obliterate

[magic epoch]

more evidence than the fnaf good guy foxy theory

[sleek halo]

the dragon mfolly

LOL

[glacial rampart]

the eye of cthulhu is a good guy and is checking on you

[spare pier]

I'm now imagining like, Yharim intercepting a group of dragon hunters and capturing them

[eager bluff]

realistically i dont think it had that much of an effect
i assume most temples and stuff were likely in the direct path of yharims army, meaning they had to watch out for fires as to not fuck up supply lines because ultimately an armys success is determined by supply
also i dont know how many of the temples were directly connected to enough flammable stuff for them to cause full on environmental catastrophes (🤯) just from being lit on fire

[spring helm]

ok but like actually can Yharim not control the auric rejection of his armour?

does this man have to actively avoid touching anyone whenever he's got the armour on?

[spare pier]

And then he just

[sleek halo]

i kinda imagine that’s

hat he would do

[late veldt]

I really can only wonder what the state of the world truly was during the reign of the gods.

[sleek halo]

in his older days

[spare pier]

Find a Folly pack

[sleek halo]

like far older

[spare pier]

And you know what happens

[sleek halo]

ngl

[glacial rampart]

king midas extreme mode

[eager bluff]

much less destroyed thats for damn certain

[indigo glade]

"Hey, Yharim, mind if we toss a few of the bodies into the Jungle, my cousin's great great great great great great great great great grandson would appreciate it" -Yharon

[sleek halo]

LOL

ngl

[late veldt]

seems relatively peaceful compared to. like. everything that came after it. and fovos

[light linden]

hey rebecca?

if you've got a moment I'd like to ask a question

[eager bluff]

my third cousin twice removed's nephew's great great great grandson's adopted sisters biological father's cousin's child would really like it

[spare pier]

I don't want to add comically gruesome stories to Cal because this Mod is still PG-13 but honestly whenever I remember Odysseus cut the siren's tail and threw them back in the sea for them to drown, I always think

My character can kill someone in a comically gruesome manner as a treat

[late veldt]

Yharim is literally The Lamb

get sacrificed by a bunch of gods

nearly dies but is saved by what the gods are trying to stop

horrible crimes against humanity

[spare pier]

What's up?

[sleek halo]

yeah

[glacial rampart]

Could Tien beat Yharim?

[spare pier]

Yeah

[light linden]

have you ever heard of cephalons from warframe?

[spare pier]

No

[light linden]

well that answers the follow up question then lmao

[spare pier]

[light linden]

I was gonna ask if Draedon was inspired by them at all

[glacial rampart]

its peak

[eager bluff]

transformers one has someone literally ripped in half while still alive and its pg

[spare pier]

I actually don't have any inspirations for Draedon

[spare pier]

Well yeah it's a robot

[light linden]

but uh

[sleek halo]

technically not a person

so

[late veldt]

what's with the eidolists anyways. I remember them being like the dragon cult trying to ascend but that might have been old lore

[eager bluff]

its still someone getting ripped in half while still fully conscious

[light linden]

basically cephalons are glass brains put into bottles to make robots

[spare pier]

If you are writing shit with robots, you just

Get an immediate pass to do whatever the fuck you want

[light linden]

used as an eternal punishment and left the person as a shell of who they once were and barely capable of feeling emotion

[spare pier]

The Michael Bay Transformers movies get away with doing some comically gruesome shit if you put humans there

[light linden]

most cannot remember who they were either

[spare pier]

I see

[glacial rampart]

like when optimus prime decides to just fucking kill that guy

yeah no he just fucking executed sentinel prime with a shotgun

[light linden]

e.g. the first one you meet literally glitches and has their old self bleed into who they currently are

[spare pier]

The only character I wrote for Cal I can 100% say I had inspiration from other stuff is Otonilou

Everything else I kinda just winged it

[late veldt]

what the hell happens in transformers

[light linden]

I mean uh

check sscls

[eager bluff]

war crimes but they're robots so they dont get the geneva convention

[sleek halo]

worshipper of the eidolons

iirc

[eager bluff]

oh hey purgatorians from another eden

[late veldt]

why are they fishe

[light linden]

and the second one you meet is literally draedon but a conservationist

[sleek halo]

uhh

read bestiary

i forgor

[spare pier]

Otonilou being inspired by Otohime and Focalors

Make of that what you will

[eager bluff]

hold on im forgetting who otohime is

[indigo glade]

One Piece.

[spare pier]

Fishmen Island Queen

[eager bluff]

because theres a character in ae with that as their title and that has bled over everything in my mind

i mean calamitas probably but like
anyone else?

that might be spoilers

[limpid saddle]

scrolled through 1700 messages to find out what the fuck these pings were

not worth it

[thorn drift]

how the fuck did draedon get access to names of greek myth

[split mortar]

Ew

[tidal tulip]

things like this go on in my mind a lot

my headcanon is that these are just names that draedon thinks sound cool, otherwise i'm not sure how you'd fit the greek myths into the lore

[split mortar]

Ew

[misty token]

Ew

[subtle geyser]

trolled

[glacial rampart]

you can just click the little box in the top right next to the search bar to see any mentions

[mild hatch]

I remember someone saying/writing that Otonilou's name was in fact inspired by Nilou from Genshin

[split mortar]

Its both iirc

Oto from otohime onepiece
Nilou from nilou genshin

[mild hatch]

Yeah

this made me put Nilou's character theme as Sunken Sea's theme in my Terraria Music Mod

and subsequently make Genshin character songs the ilmeris motif

[abstract gyro]

why not just underwater fountaine ost

[clear girder]

What god is xeroc

[robust osprey]

primordial light

aka

kinda

sunlight

[magic epoch]

True!

[cloud ibex]

he is basically the god of sunlight

except the sun in cal is funky

[robust osprey]

sun is busted

[cyan coyote]

Damn wrong channel

I was suppised to say that on addons talk

[stuck shore]

So when the Statis missions are ready, why does Statis want Signus dead if his kind worshipped them

[mighty zenith]

most likely pissed off that signus swindled him

i headcanon that the reason only statis got out was signus being a bitch and wanting one limb per person rescued, so statis gave two of his so braelor didn't have to

but signus being signus only took statis because "only he paid for the deal"

and now statis is pissed

[languid badge]

that is a wild headcannon

[mighty zenith]

lmao

[languid badge]

how do you go from "only statis was let free by signus" to "they had to offer up limbs in exchange for freedom"

[mighty zenith]

well assuming signus was sort of a devil-figure in their religion

the equivalent of trading your soul could be trading your limbs
cause like

what else would they have that signus would want

freaky-ass alien

[languid badge]

what does signus want with limbs???

[late veldt]

what? didn't they worship the slime god?

[late veldt]

It's probably just sadism of seeing how far people will go for what they want

[stuck shore]

It involved Slime God AND Signus in a way iirc

[late veldt]

ohe

[stuck shore]

But slime god didn’t do the deal

[indigo glade]

It was confirmed that the deal with Signus cost him his arm and a leg, which is why he has prosthetics.

[languid badge]

ah

[limpid saddle]

I wonder why Signus wants or needs human extremities

[mighty zenith]

a fine addition to his collection

[tall delta]

so he can become a human

emotional signus story😢

[limpid saddle]

who the fuck is gonna sacrifice their chest & head in a deal with him though

you need those

to not die

[tall delta]

Tbf its canon they had to give limbs for freedom

Statis is missing 2 limbs in their concept art

[twilit heron]

Okay this meme I found just raised a question for me, what’s Leviathan’s lore other than being an extremely fat sea creature

[cloud ibex]

not really explained i think?

iirc the bestiary guesses it's either Just An Animal™️ or something anahita created somehow

[twilit heron]

So his lore really is just “fat fuck”

[split mortar]

It may be a creation of the water elemental

But generally we dunno much about anahita and levi sadly

[mighty zenith]

her but yeah kind of

[cloud ibex]

she is just an unspecified brand of fat fuck yes

[twilit heron]

Leviathan’s a girl-?

[mighty zenith]

yep

[split mortar]

Always has been iirc

[limpid saddle]

It's either an incredibly rare big fish or a really weird water construct

with scales
