What does that last sentence even mean

[harsh yarrow]

aether the mod is cooler

[olive bobcat]

I think you have "an obsession" but that's just me

[thick fog]

It's not a stretch to say that Silksong has been in development for an extended period of time.

[harsh yarrow]

Look im good with an open letter and all

[hollow shadow]

:) if you say so (you're talking to someone with about 200 hours in the game...)

[warped rock]

its too easy

[harsh yarrow]

but uh, I think primacon put it quite well under the reddit post

TC doesnt care

[atomic sparrow]

true that

[thick fog]

If you are still waiting for Silksong and staying in this server, why wouldn't you be invested in a product you would potentially purchase in the future?
It seems like you've given up on Silksong entirely.

[olive bobcat]

Yeah, they went past their intended release date it was extended

[olive bobcat]

I'm waiting for Silksong patiently

I got other things to do in the meantime, I stay in this chat to talk with the people

[thick fog]

Waiting Patiently?

[atomic sparrow]

like me

cuz i'm awesome

[olive bobcat]

Of course bro gotta ask about it

[hollow shadow]

And not me
Because I just got here

[atomic sparrow]

true

[harsh yarrow]

a very sane take, honestly

Lets please not harass the devs

[thick fog]

How would you feel if your favorite musician suddenly went silent for months at a time between albums?

[olive bobcat]

Isn't that normal

[harsh yarrow]

bethoven fans are going crazy then...

[olive bobcat]

I know TC's situation isn't too normal but isn't that normal for musicians

[thick fog]

Harassment? It seems like you've got the wrong idea.

[harsh yarrow]

considering mine is uh

[olive bobcat]

I don't write music nor make games so I wouldn't know

[harsh yarrow]

Larkin, I fully expect it

well, favorite is Larkins work on Hollow Knight

[atomic sparrow]

Hollow Knight ost is goated and I will die on this hill

[young breach]

[grand ferry]

should prep for other midterms smh

[olive bobcat]

Hey now all my hard ones are out of the way I think

All I got now that I can think of is film and Japanese, ez pz

Maybe physics but that's also not too bad

[harsh yarrow]

it is

[hollow shadow]

This is the Hollow Knight discord, I think most of us could agree with that

[harsh yarrow]

and what we have of the OST for Silksong is great

I just want more

[warped rock]

good thing im not listening to it

until ss releases

[harsh yarrow]

Its 2 songs

Lace, and Bonebottom

[olive bobcat]

Technically 2+ if you count the demo

[harsh yarrow]

Lace I'd hope you'd know at this point, but I only recently found that Bonebottom was a town

[olive bobcat]

https://youtu.be/YmrjfF3ASyM

[harsh yarrow]

Which I had expected from the sound being similar to my beloved dirtmouth

[warped rock]

whenever i think of the lace theme i just cant remember it. it gets replaced by pale court's firce dryya theme instead within my brain

[harsh yarrow]

Oh damn, we have a good enough clip of it to be recreated?

This arragment is kinda crap

it feels hollow... which is fitting

[olive bobcat]

Me playing Pale Court mod

[warped rock]

https://tenor.com/view/woody-woody-toy-story-sora-kh3-kh-gif-27223516

was it that bad

[grand ferry]

hegemol has amazing ost

[harsh yarrow]

we also have the trailer music for silksong https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuqzwHguO0E

[warped rock]

pale court mod was good but really short

[harsh yarrow]

Here we go

Its full game audio but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELegy6ym6oU

[olive bobcat]

I haven't seen the trailers in a while actually, imma go watch them

[atomic sparrow]

if there is a silk

i would song...

[olive bobcat]

I've edited some of these shots so much it feels odd

[harsh yarrow]

I guess we also have Moth Mothers OST

Moss*

[atomic sparrow]

augh. argh. augh. augh

[tawdry valley]

I’ve seen each trailer once and I wouldn’t have it any other way

[atomic sparrow]

[olive bobcat]

[harsh yarrow]

fair enough

[harsh yarrow]

same
though thats mostly because I dont want to watch them again

[atomic sparrow]

REAL...

[tawdry valley]

If the release date announcement trailer comes out and has more stuff to show then I’m holding back and just accepting the date

No more spoilers

[harsh yarrow]

idk I'd recomend watching it yourself

[tawdry valley]

Nah

[harsh yarrow]

because well, bait use to be believable

[atomic sparrow]

[frozen frigate]

MAYBE WE'RE JUST HAVING TOO MUCH FUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNN

This is a tiny version of me Andy, I want you to have it

[wheat sail]

[harsh yarrow]

but that will probably be a massive skill issue on my part

[thick fog]

Hardly. NKG gives you several good spots to heal.

You just have to git gud

[harsh yarrow]

durring the staggers and the spike attacks

does NKG even stagger?

[thick fog]

And the bats attack

[harsh yarrow]

I dont remember

[atomic sparrow]

nkg does stagger

[thick fog]

NKG has the custom stagger

[harsh yarrow]

You can hear it a good bit in Hornets theme

[rustic ore]

Donquixote Doflamingo is the final boss of Silksong. Sorry, them's the rules

[harsh yarrow]

I really want to know how that'll be used throughout the game

no no no
final boss is clearly the shadelord

[atomic sparrow]

final boss is me sadly

[harsh yarrow]

makes zero freaking sense but uh, dont question it

[atomic sparrow]

y'all getting cooked

[harsh yarrow]

The sound design of silksong, just from what we have

Larkins use of Leitmotifs is wild

Huh yeah ok

[harsh yarrow]

OH
I assume ya'll know this, but something that goes to show Larkins wild abilities (other than Hornets theme being directly adapted from the Pale Kings)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZgHxseQZDk

the vessels leitmotif is present in the abyss, played on a string instrument, SILKSONG REFERENCE?!?!?!?!?!?

[olive bobcat]

Disregard HK OST listen to this instead

I thought everyone already knew this but apparently not

I heard this like years ago before silksong was a thing

[harsh yarrow]

tying shit to leitmotifs

Some of Hollow Knights coolest lore is least backed up by the music

I want to see them do the same for Silksong

Not really

Gotta beware of the silk soul

[olive bobcat]

I'm at the ripe age of 19 waiting to reach the point where I can have a hot stubble beard

[frozen frigate]

real shit brother

Nightcrawler by Travis Scott is actually not such a bad song

I mostly listen to alt rock and pierce the veil this is a nice change

[wheat sail]

you shoulve had your beard by now

[olive bobcat]

I'm white

[wheat sail]

maybe you need a fake one

[frozen frigate]

I hope in silksong they add character customisation options. Such as beards.

That's all you need really

Give us the option to toggle a big beard on and off

And pay me 1 Brazilian dollars for my idea.

[harsh yarrow]

Huh

[frozen frigate]

I'm listening to music recommended by members of the official hollow knight discord server

[harsh yarrow]

I went looking if the music from Deep Docks had be separated from E3 trailer footage

https://youtu.be/C5beQIv6K7g?si=I7r_cTAdunS21tNd

What in the fuck is happening here XD

I assume it's a recording of a recording?

Unless Xbox or Nintendo released un-commentated gameplay at some point?

Or

A really well done fake

It's from 2022 so someone here is bound to have found it before

Seems like the channel was uploading stuff already released, so I guess it's just a playthrough section I haven't seen before

[kindred pewter]

why is he not activating windows

thats my biggest concern

[harsh yarrow]

That's only confusing me more

Also- please tell me the mask completed theme is the same in Silksong

That'd just be cool

From this, it's the same

But it's also just the E3 demo so

I'm so confused

Please tell me someone knows the origin of the original video XD

[olive bobcat]

I mean

That is the demo, it's probably just someone's recording of someone else

[harsh yarrow]

That's my thought

It doesn't look like a recording from a Switch though

[olive bobcat]

Well there's a bunch of demo videos

[harsh yarrow]

Like I'd expect with the E3 demos being on switch hardware

[olive bobcat]

Take this for example
https://youtu.be/ZqFG_h7kXEg?list=PLn55_P3_rbwLDWuF07NOh-MQPdxivBroQ

[harsh yarrow]

Guess the E3 demo let you record directly

[wheat sail]

this just looks like hollow knight but with a different character

[onyx dawn]

I'm tired of these hollow knight clones

[olive bobcat]

Like Silksong

[harsh yarrow]

Certainly the simpler idea

[olive bobcat]

They just positioned the camera really well

[harsh yarrow]

Though Silksong did make people crazy enough to recreate lace 2(?)

[harsh yarrow]

I guess they could, though

There's a enemy trapped in a crystal in crystal crossing I think its called what the ability it gives

Wait is this wrong chat

[grand ferry]

yes ability the it give

[cerulean sable]

ok so let me clear this up

extrinsic reward vs instrinsic reward

the former is a reward that is actually a physical part of the game, and the latter is something the player psychologically feels rewarded on their own?

so thats extrinsic reward is i went inside this room and it contained a bunch of tools
the intrinsic reward is, i had to blow Lace up with 80 kilograms of C4 to get to that room?

[manic abyss]

no
the instrinsic reward is that it was hard to blow Lace up with 80 kilograms of C4 but you still managed to do it anyways

[cerulean sable]

i see i see

[timid rock]

Any of you played the dark souls games? They are literally 3d hollow knight lol, in gameplay, exploration and in lore. You can tell where team cherry got half their inspiration from

[tawdry valley]

Hollow knight focuses more on its exploration loop and platforming, whereas most souls games want you in and then out of an area asap so they can show off the next boss and enemy encounter maze

[cerulean sable]

well one around 60-70% of this server are also Soulslike players
and two TC themselves said multiple times that they only played Dark Souls 1 AFTER they kept getting people comparing Hollow Knight to it

Ari did say most of his soulsborne inspiration mostly comes frmo Bloodborne's rally system which was essentially just the idea of "do damage, get healing" with the soul mechanic

[tawdry valley]

Nuh uh, the money drops on death (in a unique way) and the game is sad+hard to traverse through

So it’s a souls game

[cerulean sable]

tyreu

[timid rock]

Oh really

Cus dark souls 1 and hollow knight feel so linked

[timid rock]

And for dark souls 1 i would disagree

Ds2 and ds3 are like thatbut ds1 is very exploration and backtracky

[sacred stratus]

They have some similar foundations but TC did not get most of their inspiration from DS

[tawdry valley]

Ds1 exploration loop honestly barely exists

Finding an area that serves as a shortcut between areas isn’t the same as mapping out deepnest

[sacred stratus]

Some areas in DS1 feel like they only exist to link to other areas

[cerulean sable]

it was Faxanadu and Zelda 2 that they mentioned as their main inspiration, and the artstyle was from an anime called Angel's Eggs

[tawdry valley]

Precisely

[timid rock]

Like?

[tawdry valley]

Areas that you don’t particularly travel through in a nonlinear order

Whereas in Hk you can enter the city of tears after entering every other area in game

Or right after mantis claw

[timid rock]

I can agree with that i guess

And u get new stuff

[tawdry valley]

Ds1 makes it pretty clear where you gotta go next

[timid rock]

Metroidvania and all that

[sacred stratus]

Valley of the drakes, dark root basin, demon ruins doesn’t have much either, undead parish is also extremely small

[tawdry valley]

There’s always an obstacle on the horizon

[sacred stratus]

DS1 does exploration well just not too much of it

[tawdry valley]

HK keeps the player as lost as it can

[timid rock]

I can agree there tbf. Valley of the drakes is real sucky

[tawdry valley]

It’s dungeon crawling. Not exploration

[timid rock]

Literally just one room

[sacred stratus]

If you want real exploration go play super Metroid.

[tawdry valley]

The metroid games are very bad Metroidvanias

Running around every room shooting bombs on every tile

[timid rock]

True

because that’s like, the literal only way to progress

Tragic really

[sinful flare]

[sinful flare]

ok logging on

[tawdry valley]

Anyways, HK focuses on creating and satisfying curiosity, DS focuses on creating and satisfying adversity

[young breach]

TC explictly wasnt inspired by dark souls for anything

[tawdry valley]

You explore in HK, you push forward in DS

The exploratory elements of ds and the shortcuts and such are mostly there to make you not feel like fast traveling all the time

Which btw are all elements every dark souls game afterwards gave up on. Bloodborne just says fuck it and has every place be separate and sets you down in a hub world

Only really true in the first game. In super it’s mostly fair because there are hints

Not to mention you can get the X-ray scope which reveals hidden blocks

There are a few locations where it’s actually bullshit but it’s pretty limited

It mostly just requires you to go through rooms again with the scope to make sure

TRUE

Also Chaos if you don't want spoilers then don't click

i don’t have a specific channel per se, i just watch playthroughs of a game if I’m devoted to experiencing it fully that way (without playing it myself yk) and then maybe I’ll search up a theory/explaining vidfor stuff on it if I’m interested afterwards.

[deep laurel]

rings of power season 2 was pretty good

funny how Amazon seems to want to cancel even that show but they agreed to 5 seasons

[violet path]

Really?

Some of my familys been watching it but i heard it was supposed to be like terrible

Ive never seen anything lotr so idk

[runic atlas]

Not really?

Aside from the canonicity issues

[fiery burrow]

its great if you don't like lotr

[violet path]

Oh ok

[deep laurel]

when it comes to tv shows I'm not much of a critic

probably because I watch so few

[runic atlas]

Not really, imagine not sending anyone to warn Celebrimbor that the mofo he worked for is Sauron

[deep laurel]

they did try that

[runic atlas]

Once, and the messengers came back

And at like ep 5

It's just not really written well

[deep laurel]

if the best solution would always be applied, there wouldn't be many stories at all

[kindred pewter]

But I am Aluo

[fiery burrow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-Uz0LMbWpI

[shell yacht]

well when you start off by bastardizing the source material do you expect a good story

[runic atlas]

Okay but like that doesn't mean you just make the characters too stupid

[violet path]

Hold up, his writing is THIS fire?!

[runic atlas]

This isn't something Tolkien wrote

And you can tell

[violet path]

Maybe ill watxh the rings of power if i still have internet this week

[violet path]

From what im seeing in this convo it seems like this new show is kinda like the harry potter sequel play

Somewhat enjoyable on its own but ruins the source material and has people acting utterly out of character

[fiery burrow]

Oh no they ruined the perfect harry potter source material

[strange night]

Harry Potter sucks iirc

[olive bobcat]

https://vxtwitter.com/chitrartum/status/1842767310622237060?s=46&t=1oDjmwFQwp6pVr3jPa-X9A

[runic atlas]

Not really JKR does tho

[deep laurel]

the books are not perfect but one should not just judge them by their author now

[strange night]

https://tenor.com/view/the-road-to-el-dorado-both-both-is-good-gif-8304204

[violet path]

I been rereading them and its quite enjoyable

[runic atlas]

Not really both

[fiery burrow]

harry potter is boring and its author sucks and the movies also suck

[violet path]

Sure bro

[runic atlas]

The books are good imo

[violet path]

Ya

[deep laurel]

I think it somewhat lost its charm after book 4 however, starting with book 5

[strange night]

You disagree with me so your opinion is wrong, blocked and reported (your account will be deactivated within the week)

[violet path]

Not really imo but to each their own

Its clear that jk rowling isnt even remotely good at writing anymore since iirc she had a hand in writing the play and it was still ass

The writing feels nothing like the original books

[strange night]

Hirohiko Araki is a way better author iirc

[fiery burrow]

Senile at age 59. Dang

[deep laurel]

it's just the story itself was just that memorable

not the writing

[violet path]

No the writings good

In the original books

[strange night]

They're children's books for children iirc

[violet path]

Im capable of separating the art from the artist enough to admit that

[violet path]

Living up to the name

[fiery burrow]

hating is my thing dolm. Expect a lawsuit for copyright infringement soon

[shell yacht]

movies left out like 3 more movies worth, but who needs side character development and worldbuilding in a movie series following 3 kids

[violet path]

Ya i remember liking the movies as a kid but comparing them to the books is rough

[grand ferry]

wizard you are a harry

[violet path]

Harry youre

[runic atlas]

I mean not everything, JKR keeps introducing a thing, forgetting about it in the next book and solving it in a very controversial way in the following one

[violet path]

Dumbledore said calmly

[runic atlas]

See both house elves and time turners

[violet path]

Can you give an example?

[violet path]

Oh ya

[strange night]

Personally I don't know how to read so I don't care

[runic atlas]

Movie 6 literally leaves out every important plot bit

[violet path]

Idk what you mean with house elves but ya the way they dealt with time turners was.. interesting

[timid rock]

afaik its more moral to pirate games as key resellers actually drives up the prices of games in other countries. regional pricing gets removed because people from other countries are abusing it to get games for cheap and games become too expensive to buyt in that country anymore. ik someone whos from turkey and its really hard to afford any games there because of people bulk buying steam keys for privileged people like us

[strange night]

I don't think I've ever seen something do time travel well, it just kind of sucks tbh

[violet path]

Ig its better for them to all be taken out like they were but also no way the ministry keeps every time turner together in one place where they can all easily be smashed

[shell yacht]

time turner was lame af never shoulda existed,elves plot stayed confusing start to finish but it was explained

[strange night]

Like yokai watch 2 is one of my favorite videogames of all time and the time travel plot is actual dogshit

[odd brook]

Did they remove silk song announcements from the server

[runic atlas]

Btw @shell yacht in the map you suggested to me is the 113k exp area the 3rd one?

[strange night]

?sspsa

[violet path]

At least the time turners in the books were WAY better than the damn play

[valid sable]

Best I've seen is probably Steins Gate

[violet path]

In the play they retcon and bring back time turners except instead of creating short closed loops of time theyre just fully functional time machines so we can bring back voldemort as a villain

[marsh ibex]

Just kicked Marbled Gohma’s ass

[timid rock]

what about Primer? heard that was good

[violet path]

Oh ya

[marsh ibex]

:clueless:

[violet path]

Also have you seen this

[marsh ibex]

Yes

[violet path]

Cant catch a break

[deep laurel]

3 is good, right? not 4

[marsh ibex]

The convo seems over but JKR’s writing is not good

it’s barely passable

[violet path]

And the path is projected to make landfall right next to where i live

[shell yacht]

it depends on how fast you go, it gives the xp in chunks. ive had the first "door" give me 90k but usually its like 50. cave door usually hits 112k for me, then 80k ish from door 3, then i just buy teleporters

[violet path]

To each their own i and many other people like it but youre entitled to your own opinions

[runic atlas]

I only got like 30k exp so far no clue what you on about

I'm grinding for the crystal

[violet path]

Its “devastating” winds rather than “catastrophic”

Wouldnt call that good

[marsh ibex]

You’re allowed to like something but it doesn’t make the writing good smh my head

I like KH the writing is bad

[violet path]

Also helene was supposed to be 3 but became a 4 before making landfall

[violet path]

I mean many people think its good

[opaque sigil]

is it at least not overt slavery apologia tho

[marsh ibex]

well it clears that very low bar

[fiery burrow]

isn't KH just disney IP extravaganza

[opaque sigil]

better than harry potter then

[marsh ibex]

yunobo take the fucking secret stone stop fucking yapping

[violet path]

?

[marsh ibex]

goddamn

[marsh ibex]

house elves

[formal marsh]

I like the writing in HK. I disagree with you. You probably don't own an air fryer.

[shell yacht]

crystal unlock is a big chunk too so when u grab it first the door will give slightly less.
custom games do this weird thing where they kinda gate your xp so you dont get a ton too fast, so the longer inbetween xp drops the more the next source gives. but you still reach the same total in the end

[violet path]

Its made like very clear throughout that the wizarding communitys treatment of house elves and other magical creatures as a whole is wrong

[marsh ibex]

Wait they can CLONE THEMSELVES

[runic atlas]

Ig

[marsh ibex]

not really no

hermione makes an effort to change that and is made a joke for that

[opaque sigil]

but joker it's bad you're just not supposed to try to change it

[deep laurel]

there are similar things compared to house elves that get largely ignored irl

[fiery burrow]

you've clearly only watched the movies

[marsh ibex]

“cmon hermione the house elves like being in that position wdym???”

[deep laurel]

well not house elves but slavery

[violet path]

Ron treats as a joke because hes from a wizarding family and has built up the wizarding communitys prejudice.

[marsh ibex]

“Silly muggle”

So how useful is yunobo’s ability actually

[shell yacht]

i just try to make itgo as fast as possible anyway bc at the end you run in a circle for a minute, earn 5 mil and buy a 1mil item 5 times at like 12k each, and repeat till it runs out

[opaque sigil]

it's whatever

blows shit up

[marsh ibex]

if nothing really ends up changing + the story itself makes a joke out of trying to change stuff that’s not good writing

[shell yacht]

getting the 100k a min crystal before the cave speeds it up alot

[fiery burrow]

cooler than daruk's protection

[strange night]

Daruk's protection was literally the best thing out of Zelda history

[violet path]

Dumbledore whos supposed to be the wisest character advocates as well for better treatment of house elves and its certainly not treated as a joke

[opaque sigil]

[fiery burrow]

The only neat thing was the glitches

[opaque sigil]

do... do you think it's all good to have slaves if you aren't mean to them

[deep laurel]

just completely ignoring jkr, it did read like the books acknowledged the issue, but the wizarding world was just that backwards in that regard that most ignored it

[violet path]

It literally lead to sirius’s death in the books

[deep laurel]

yes, can say what you want about the books but Dumbledore is aware of the issue

[olive bobcat]

Risqué but pretty

[opaque sigil]

no he isn't

the issue isn't whether you're nice to slaves or not the issue is the existence of slaves

[kindred pewter]

let me check their art

hmm

they are Risque but the art is really good, like oil painting art

i'm sorry, canvas painting art

i thought the 45° sunny was in c 🔥

[violet path]

That is cold

[fiery burrow]

doesn't matter if ya give em money

[weary tapir]

What 😭

[violet path]

Thats the projected temperature its gonna be in my city during hurricane force winds

[weary tapir]

I live in Michigan and October would drop down to the 50s and 40s when I was younger

Like you’d actually have to wear a jacket

[violet path]

I mean to have the house elves work be that of a job instead of slavery

[weary tapir]

I can just go out without one now

[finite flax]

fuck harry potter

[deep laurel]

one day a month is actually close to what Americans get, right?

[runic atlas]

Oh unlocking the crystal gave me 110k

[deep laurel]

wait or is it 7 workdays for elves?

[finite flax]

we all know the real goated young adult wizard fantasy series is Earthsea 🔥

[violet path]

In the story he only wanted one day off a month

[opaque sigil]

you... really aren't helping yourself by continuing this

[shell yacht]

yeah so the next door will prob give a tiny amount

[sage glade]

Earthpee

[finite flax]

shut up bitch

i will NOT toleterate earthsea slander

[sage glade]

[shell yacht]

a fulltime job can vary depending on the hours you work per day but 3-6 offdays a month is common

[violet path]

Whatever man yall havent read the books

[runic atlas]

Don't worry I'm watching an anime episode it'll give me quite a bit

[sage glade]

i'm so hungry i could delay silksong for another year

[violet path]

What show

[opaque sigil]

no we just don't like slavery as a concept

[sage glade]

"source? 🤓"

[orchid flax]

I read somewhere on r/silksong that the ost just release. Dont know if its facts or not, but everyone was rly hyped in the comments

[deep laurel]

I meant actual vacation days

[fiery burrow]

its not slavery the slaves like it and get paid

[shell yacht]

you only need 5min to open the door now

[violet path]

And neither does the story of harry potter? Thats what ive been explaining?

[opaque sigil]

it's reddit

[runic atlas]

Yes but I'm hungry

[opaque sigil]

the story of harry potter is absolutely fine with slavery so long as there isn't excessive cruelty

[shell yacht]

thats a whole dif thing but uh, way worse

[olive bobcat]

Me too

[violet path]

The whole point of the winky-dobby character arcs was to portray the issues of slavery in the verse that the house elves themselves have accepted

[deep laurel]

yes it kind of is pointed out that most wizards ignore it. That doesn't mean the book ignores it

[finite flax]

why are we arguing about harry potter slavery

[opaque sigil]

the book does ignore it and it mocks people who argue it should be abolished

[kindred pewter]

ngl the one with the maid scared me

[strange night]

JK Rowling loves slavery and hates trans people iirc

[violet path]

Dude i was shocked in the 7th book when harry potter said “im harry potter and i hate trans people and love slavery”

[strange night]

Yeah that was crazy, and in the next chapter he hate crimed somebody

[deep laurel]

you literally just saw that Dumbledore, usually the voice of reason in the books wanted to pay them a probably good salary

[warped rock]

didnt she have mold rage

[violet path]

It seemed so out of character i had to burn all my books

All of them not just harry potter

[strange night]

Fahrenheit 451 reference

[opaque sigil]

again gonna give you an out because I assume you legitimately just don't know what you're saying

but uh
that's quite fucking bad

[kindred pewter]

chat whats funny

[deep laurel]

you are biased in this

[strange night]

Paying them makes it not slavery anymore

[opaque sigil]

it doesn't

[kindred pewter]

genocide or misinformation?

[warped rock]

i love context

[opaque sigil]

owning a sapient being is still bad whether you pay them or not

[olive bobcat]

There were a lot of maids, which one

[kindred pewter]

the recent one

[strange night]

Yeah but house elves aren't people so it must be okay

[opaque sigil]

and yes it is immensely cherrypicky

[violet path]

😭

[strange night]

JK Rowling has never done wrong in her life, clearly

[fiery burrow]

Rick Riordan minus

[violet path]

What if instead of jk rowling it was jk rowley

Like the guy bfrom disry of the wimp kid

[warped rock]

in universe they justify it as the house elves not wanting freedom or something like that but it's a really bad reflection on jk rowling

[strange night]

In other news I'm reading game of thrones (I have never seen the show)

[sage glade]

my parents said they owned me until i was 18 😨

[deep laurel]

peak

[violet path]

ITS BASED OFF A BOOK?

[fiery burrow]

My heartfelt condolences

[opaque sigil]

that is not how that works

[strange night]

I finished the first book and it seems like a good story that's pretty well written so far but I'd appreciate a lot less sex

[atomic sparrow]

hey guys

[fiery burrow]

A song of fire and ice

[strange night]

Yeah a series of them

[fiery burrow]

I'm not certain which is more mid though

[sage glade]

it's absolutely crucial to the plot

[shell yacht]

yeah game of thrones is a book series waiting on its last book that the creator delayed like 8 years so he could milk the tv show and write a prequel

[kindred pewter]

just like batman

[sage glade]

damn so ghosts owned bruce wayne

[deep laurel]

the first 3 books are peak, the other 2 could or may even should be skipped

[violet path]

Again dumbledore speaks out against it very very clearly, a protagonist died because of his prejudice toward house elves

[fiery burrow]

When I'm in a not finishing books competition and my opponent is George:

[opaque sigil]

all that is for treating them nicely not for them being free and autonomous

[sage glade]

vagabond author:

[violet path]

Thats a song not a book

[strange night]

A book of fire and ice

[fiery burrow]

a book of fire? 451???

[deep laurel]

if you pay someone a living wage and they can quit any time, it's not slavery

[shell yacht]

GRRM is also like isnanely bad at remembering his own details, characters change hair color within the same book sometimes, also L editor i guess

[shell yacht]

they cant quit, please shut up

[sage glade]

could just be dyed

offscreen

[deep laurel]

the hogwarts elves can't quit? not sure if it's mentioned but I doubt Dumbledore would refuse

[shell yacht]

offscreen in a book

[sage glade]

offpage

[warped rock]

books need more screens anyways

[wanton eagle]

[kindred pewter]

what about...wings of fire

[sage glade]

ones with subway surfers and minecraft parkour especially

[violet path]

Dumbledore doesnt offer paid slavery to the elves under hogwarts employment, they are all “free under employment” though iirc all except dobby refuse payment

[runic atlas]

They're not paid, and they're so mentally manipulated that they can't leave

[strange night]

Uhhhh that sounds kind of spicy, I think I'd need some Bleu cheese or perhaps ranch if I were to eat those wings

[sage glade]

need advice guys

[opaque sigil]

y'all really love making shit worse for yourselves huh

[sage glade]

should i eat instant noodles or should i thaw out chicken and wait 30 mins for the meal

[fiery burrow]

I mean regardless of whether or not they are slaves its still really poor commentary on slavery

[violet path]

Hogwarts is probably like the best place for a house elf to work in the wizarding world tbf

[violet path]

I love wings of fire

[opaque sigil]

ruh roh

[violet path]

Noodles who has that kinda time

[runic atlas]

They're slaves.

They're not working.

[strange night]

Guys slavery isn't a good thing iirc

There is no "best case" slavery it all sucks

[violet path]

The hogwarts ones arent i thought?

[kindred pewter]

best dragon media fr

[violet path]

Maybe im misremembering

[violet path]

Too bad the last book was kinda bad
