He... lacks ||imagination?||

#

Right, wait

he is always told|| what to do||
maybe he is ||broken|| in the sense that he does not know how to ||act independently||?

mystic ermine
#

What did she say about him...
||A hollow shell||, was it?

split beacon
#

yeah

#

he kills with no trace of emotion

#

the bodies he leaves behind betray no sentiment or purpose to what he does

mystic ermine

it was already important before

it's important right now too

gentle mulch
crimson spindle
#

remember in TKT, who pegged the time discrepancy

#

in like moments

split beacon
#

oh yeah real

mystic ermine
#

Why... is... this...
he's...
weirdly...
...wholesome?

split beacon
#

because parenting's always easy when kids are uncomplicated to take care of at first

#

demanding of your attention and time, sure

#

but you know what the right and wrong things to do are more or less

crimson spindle
#

also his specific brand of damage isn't one that applies to a literal baby

stoic fjord
#

yeah

split beacon
#

well yeah Matthias is a bad dad, not an actively malicious or resentful one

#

grievously bad though

quaint cliff
#

it is oddly comforting to learn that ||our Faust is actually the least petty and arrogant bitch of the lot||

mystic ermine
#

Honestly
if this were just the three of them
I
just
maybe
the entire situation might have not been that fucked up
admittedly
I don't know anything about raising children nor how to appropriately take care of them other than avoiding mistakes made by my own parents
but
I am fairly certain that personal adoration, genuine, though ||hollow||, care and appreciation for someone's abillities is... preferable over physical abuse and whatever the fuck more

# mystic ermine What

||she was able to threaten that factory owner despite being hundreds of times slower than him||

mystic ermine
# split beacon no

Yes, of course it'd still be fucked up
and
I don't even know all of the story

but it... it feels better to exclu- what?

what do you

#

huh

split beacon
#

yeah unfortunately

#

hate to say it

#

REALLY hate to say it

mystic ermine
#

what

stoic fjord
#

like genuinely it would be so much worse I think

split beacon
#

but we might have to hand it to the Dihui Star on this one

stoic fjord
#

||the Dihui Star might genuinely be a contender for the least damaging parent out of the bunch I can't even fucking lie||

mystic ermine
#

how does
adding
somebody who
||breaks the leg of a child at the age of 7 to forbid feeling sad|| and ||actively represses feelings of happiness|| possibly....

stoic fjord

good? no

gentle mulch

okay ryoshu

#

thanks ryoshu

stoic fjord

but just these three would honestly have a chance of making it worse

stoic fjord

||like, as much as she blamed Ryoshu for her suffering, and hated her... she also didn't want her to become like her. wanted her to be free. to be able to leave this hell behind.||

mystic ermine
#

HOW

split beacon
#

||like she caused Ryoshu extensive emotional harm. but also, she's the only one who pitched in to add one of the most crucial pieces of parenting that Ryoshu received from all 5 so without her the group project is an unequivocal failure||

Good weather parenting?

or one for each color

wild mango

whatever you think is best

ebon forge

the thing about hana ish is her EGO is pretty important choicing

also a bit dependent on other IDs

i kill the stupid fucking apprentice bitch but ooooh nooooo cant have it be so simple no? fucking kill that ring maestro too peon fucking ASSHOLES KILL YOURS- im calm

vagrant dove
# karmic escarp what do i do against the stupid art freaks

Ring? Uhhh you'll want to

prioritise hitting the repressed flesh skills when they happen with unopposed attacks that give them plus coin drops, those are crucial. Let Alyssa and Hohenheim cook, support them where necessary. Alyssa should help get rid of the stupid ass spikes he drops on one of your sinners sometimes once he's alone iirc

When the apprentice is staggered or otherwise indisposed don't go for the bait, try to hit the nursefather a bit more, he's the main target

karmic escarp
#

i read the mechanics. they provide ZERO elucidation. that stupid fucking ugly fleshy cunt maestro bastard heals alllllll his stupid fucking SP and then has the FUCKING AUDACITY to also make my already garbage sinners clash worse. i play defensively i get my ass fucked i play offensively i do a little better but whoops, didnt answer the stupid cunt bastard's stupid cunt riddles three so all my guys die anyway! a-fucking-mazing

#

i did all of that

#

ALL OF THAT

#

and his stupid fucking pig cunt attack still fucking killed me because everyone FUCKING DIED

mystic ermine
#

Wait a second

#

GREEN?!

#

WHAT DO YOU MEANB GREEN

vagrant dove
cloud wadi
#

it's a coin that goes nom on red coins to become stronger

#

so you should want to stop red coins with green coins

#

think of it as like a stop sign to stop red coins

#

so when you see a green coin think of a green stop sign

split beacon
#

Thanks Rien

atomic steeple
#

Very funny

#

New coin type

#

But man, will strategizing suck

vagrant dove
#

||excision coins do seem like they'll add something to gameplay tbh, a counter for unbreakables is pretty cool||

split beacon
#

I think…

#

I think if they’re only activated if you win clash with that specific coin

#

That’ll be VERY interesting

vagrant dove
atomic steeple
split beacon
#

||Because I could easily see Excision working as a mechanic where if you lose the first coin you can still win overall but now you have to eat the red coins, where if you won completely onesidedly the red coins would die||

vagrant dove

||wonder what those purple coins ryoshu had might do||

mystic ermine

Holy. shit.

Even the punishments for failing to fulfill a Prescript are dictated via Prescript

And failures to carry out that punishment - say, if the original Prescript-ignorer kills their pursuer - then that too must be the will of the City. So it goes until they finally get what’s coming to them - if they ever even do.

Someone whose own will aligns so perfectly with that of the City that they just keep on trucking through it all.

But ||the sudden reappearance of Hermann has me wondering what the OG man himself was like through the eyes of Kafka||

#

For further theory-fodder, if nothing else.

#

There is already a quote that sticks out about how ||Hermann crippled his son’s sense of safety and security from a young age by demonstrated that he could, at any time, barge into the boy’s room, carry him outside, and force him to sit on that pavlatche alone at night. A fear that das Ungeziefer Kaiser explicitly evokes with his threats of roaches crawling out of mattresses while we sleep. Maybe it’s sleep deprivation making me so touchy feely about a video game character but I hope Gregor will find a place to feel safe once again.||
