Panem's Requiem; Broadcast of the Damned

In a world ravaged by the Capitol's fall and the rise of a sinister bioweapon that transforms the afflicted into cunning zombies known as Shades, Katniss Everdeen and her companions struggle for survival in the shadow of a new dark era. Guided by the hope-infused broadcasts of Radio Free Panem, they navigate the treacherous landscape, driven by an unyielding resolve to resist the Capitol's dark remnants and ignite a resurgence of hope against the encroaching night.

I've got it

After making my life more complicated than I would've needed, I believe I have the correct solution, no doubt thanks to a partner in crime of mine.

The middle sentence is:

Zweibein auf Dreibein vor Keinbein auf Vierbein.

Which translates to:

Two-legged something on three-legged something in front of no-legged something on four-legged something

my translation skills are legendary but it'll make sense in a second

How I figured this out? I didn't, I do admit, I was quite confused, so naturally I tried to automate the process. I wrote a bit of code which would give me every way the first word of the sentence could be interpreted and actually got 'Zweibein' and... for some reason concluded that didn't make sense and moved on. Eventually, I gave it to my partner in crime to read, who figured it out in a short time span.

Great, now we've got the sentence but what does it mean?

Well, the first part is easy. A two-legged creature - human, on a three-legged thing: a stool with three legs. The second part? Not quite as easy.

It turns out similar riddles have been in, for example, The Hobbit, but not the exact wording. Where are a lot of possibilities for a thing with no legs, it's pretty obvious the four-legged thing would be a table. But... what is ON the table?

In the end, we reached the conclusion that the thing on the table would be a thing to eat, since the person is sitting on a stool near the table. Then, what's a food with no legs? 🐟

Ein Zweibein auf dem Dreibein sitzt vor dem Vierbein auf dem ein Keinbein liegt.

Another possible solution for the riddle I came up with while trying to find the answer, but this one is a bit less... straight forward (and just for fun) :D

Are you bored lately? Do you have case at the moment ? Are you aroace ? Do you want a riddle?

Those are many questions for one ask. I am working on a case, but I couldn't solve it yet. It's irritating. I'm waiting for more information about the case from the police and the labs. It's tedious, I've a case but I'm bored with waiting.

I'm always ready for a riddle.

Hey, anyone who has been really engaged with the drama these past few days, make sure you take a break ok, make sure you look out for yourselves and your own mental health, it’s rough and we all have to look out for each other. We know that dream is manipulating and changing the story and lying, just make sure you don’t get to bogged down into it. Please everyone take a break if you need it, cause I sure do know I need one.

I'm playing the Sims 4 bust the dust irl right now

Becoming a writer is great because now you have a hobby that haunts you whenever you don’t have time to do it

EXACTLY

I only realized this later but it's so out of character for Sherlock to brush off John and hang out with Mary because 'she is better.' NO NO SHE IS NOT, especially not to the guy who LITERALLY spent a whole wedding moping and sad because he'd now have to share John. All that, just to push John away in the next season???

I just finished Sherlock S4/1

What the actual fuck was that

Huh????

It's like... Sherlock and Mary, featuring John as a side character who is stupid every now and then but otherwise unimportant

And the finale?????? It felt so... staged and John didn't even help? Just call her an ambulance for fuck's sake

@vrioloki ?

Sea of Thieves (6 of 9) - Kirk Quilaquil

(Arcane season 2 spoilers)

(Seriously massive spoilers)

(scroll past because the title will spoiler you already)

I can prove Jinx is alive

with a lot of knowledge and deductions

This is based off of a few other theories which I will link respectively.

This theory begins with another theory: Powder made it to our universe.

In the scene where all of these papers fly up, a head with her hairstyle is visible and... in animation, no accidents happen. (Excluding the possibility the animators are sadistic fucks) This means that Powder traveled through universes. So far, so good.

Now, it's very likely she used the machine which Ekko and Heimerdinger rip left behind for this since she helped build it yadayadayada. We can't know for certain the way this machine works, but I would suggest that it works in the same way the Arcane travel that brought these three there in the first place worked since... when Ekko gets back, it all slots into place and he's back in his body. More on this later.

One characteristic of this way of interdimensional travel is that you can't travel to a dimension where you are dead, the explanation for why Jayce doesn't come with the others to the 'happy end' dimension (or the Arcane has its own will and brought him where he landed because of it but that's boring) because in this one, Vi died, the council prohibited the hextech experiments completely so Viktor didn't come to him and... well. (I unfortunately didn't find where I read that his death is why he isn't in this dimension, but I did somewhere).

This means that in order to travel into a dimension, you need to be alive in this very dimension. NOW if Powder traveled to our dimension, that means that Jinx must have been alive at the time of her travel and since we saw Jinx sacrifice herself for Vi when she was very much herself, this means she must've survived the fall so Powder could travel there and take over her body. Also, we see Powder in the end scene and since she'd take over Jinx' body when she travels dimensions, Jinx' body must've been alive at the end of the story.

Now. What does this mean for Jinx? Where is she?

She is alive, that much is clear now, but where is her psyche if her body is controlled by Powder?

There are two options really, and it boils down to how inter dimensional travel works.

Option 1: when you travel to a different dimension, you take over your other selves' body and they just kinda get knocked out. This would mean that while Ekko was in the other universe, parallel!Ekko was just kind of nowhere. This doesn't make that much sense to me since it would mean there's a forward and backward direction for travelling.

Forward means you stack a soul on top of another one, backward means that the soul gets sent back. It's kind of possible, but a bit dull and rough around the edges. Also, this would mean the machine Ekko and Heimerdinger built is specifically designed to bring them BACK which means Powder couldn't have used it to travel forth so... it's a bit scuffed.

Option 2: Symmetrical travel. When you travel to another universe, the soul from that universe possesses YOUR body in turn. This means that the way forward and the way backward is exactly the same, the minds get switched and the direction doesn't matter. This would more easily allow Powder to use the machine to travel forward into another universe since it's the same procedure as travelling backwards. A way to prove this would be to check if Ekko's or Heimerdinger's body have been active in OUR universe while they were there. Actually, now that I think about it, this would mean there IS still an alive Heimerdinger in our universe. This theory makes more sense to me, though, again, that would mean there's someone controlling your body in your universe while you're controlling theirs.

Now, this means that, option 1: Jinx would just be KO while Powder has control of her body BUT option 2 would be: Jinx is in the 'happy end' universe while Powder is in ours which is also just a lot more interesting.

Maybe I'll check if I can find proof for option 2, but this is it in the meantime. BUT anyway, Jinx is alive! And this also means Ekko COULD still get his happy end (I made this theory for him, poor boy deserves a happy end), with Jinx or with Powder.
