lore tab from the nacre exotic ship
apparently, this dialogue is the winnower itself speaking to our guardian. i have rarely seen people talk about this, and i think it’s very interesting.
the differences between the witness and the winnower here, as well as how it addresses us in such a familiar manner, are especially interesting in my opinion.
Meeting the Dads.
(2/2)
Zuko: And finally, allow me to introduce the Avatar, Aang.
Aang: Ambassador Aang.
Zuko: Ambassador of what? You’re the only member of your nation.
Aang: And whose great-grandpa’s fault is that?
Zuko: Touche, ambassador.
Aang: I changed my mind now I’m King Aang.
Zuko: What.
Aang: King of the Air Nomad.
Zuko: That doesn’t even make any- whatever. Let’s just proceed with the meeting.
The Young Wolf, explaining how to capture the various Vanguard's Most Wanted: Had to take on Ghaul and Eramis with brute force. Marched Nokris and Calus here at gunpoint. Omnigul was enticed by the prospect of a singing contest. I chloroformed Praksis in his lab. Variks caved into peer pressure, Spider caved into Glimmer pressure… and I just asked Savathûn nicely.
we have fun here in Thedas
i really need the Mai cut of Battle City. like she shows up thinking she's in for a normal card tournament but seto kaiba apparently saw duelist kingdom as the bare minimum amount of drama and danger that a card tournament needed, because he is the most dramatic man on earth. also apparently he's been fighting visions of a past life or something and desires to control god. that yuugi kid is being targeted by.... violent gangsters? or something?? over the card games?? and OH, he's also possessed by a magic ghost. who plays card games. Mai keeps looking at Jounouchi for support but no, that dude's been on board for the magic card game ghost since day one. then she gets to the finals and the other contestants are, somehow, yet another magic card game playing ghost possessing a teenager, and three members of a three thousand year old cult who are ALSO magic and involved in the most convoluted family drama of all time, which they are going to play out during a fucking CARD GAME. one of them might have been the guy trying to murder yuugi and has... mind control? his sister can see the future and refuses to watch any of the games because she knows what will happen, what. Mai is like, whatever, it's a card game bitch and i'm good at it, but then there's a fucking card that requires knowledge of an ancient language to play and then she goes into a coma. what the FUCK
Okay so I'm a security guard, right
And part of why I like my job is cause I'm pretty good at deescalating conflicts without violence or police involvement
And that *might* be because my primary coping mechanism for stress is humor, and if the guy in the uniform isn't stressed out, usually nobody else is either
But anyhow today I witnessed a crime, which 911 had already been called for
And I'm telling the guy, you know, as he's running away, that nobody's gonna touch him, we don't do that here, I don't have any weapons and he can totally walk on out if he wants to
And he gives me this 'go-fuck-yourself" type answer, right? As you do
And I fucking
I fucking. Start danCING
I DONT KNOW WHY
I WAS JUST LIKE "aight guess I'll go fuck myself then, cheerio" AND START FUCKING DANCING
LIKE MY BRAIN WAS LIKE "Cool not being attacked, gotta keep the witnessed calm, gotta stay chill and breezy" AND THE PHYSICAL RESPONSE FOR THAT WAS TO SYART DOING THIS SASSY FUCKING JIG
I DIDNT EVEN REALIZR I WAS FDOUNG IT UNTIL SOMEONE POIU TED IT OUT AFTER
and it all ended fine and the dude is in custody and I get a call from my boss like "Yeah we're gonna need to send footage to police"
AND
FUCKING
THIS IS GOING TO BE SHOWN IN COURT SOMEWHERE
IM DOUNG A SRUPID LITTLE DANCE ON CAMERA AS THIS GUY LOSES HIS MIND AND ITS GONNA BE ON COURT SOMEWHERW
THIS IS THE STUPIDEST FUCKING THING IVE WVER DONE
I HATE MYSELFD
CHILL HAJIME
i love this type of post
