Been having a pretty big writer's block (and probably a severe case of burnout too) these past few months weeks so Ive been gaming a bit instead. Ive put like over 30h into V Rising, after their big update in May, and now I started Assassin's Creed Revelations again, first time in a few years bcs I saw a lil' bit on a stream and Im a Sucker for Ezio's trilogy, but there's the steam summer sale going on and AC: Syndicate has such a nice discount now and I kinda wanna buy it. Ive never played it but I saw the gameplay as it came out and I still really dig the victorian vibes a lot (+ Evie!), but then I look at the AC: Unity that has been chilling in my steam library since forever (that I never even installed) and Im like "but WILL I even play it?" aaaaaand I dunno. I do have the money on my steam account already tho soooo... I could also get the Shadow of War/Mordor combo, which is even cheaper, but Im kinda in the AC mood rn hmmmmmmm

#personal #Raksh posts #video games #Im such a casual gamer #I'll boot up a game #play a few hours #and then wont get back to it until years later 🙈😂#I Think I'd play Syndicate more readily than Unity tbf tho #Unity kinda... never compelled me? for whatever reason?#but I do wanna try it at some point so I bought it on a similar sale #Syndicate I actually vibe with quite a bit #maybe its the emo in me compelled by the victorian fashion 😂#the shadow of war/mordor are great games from what Ive seen too and I do wanna play them at some point too #but I think its also on sale more often #hmmmmm I dunno #the sale ends tomorrow tho soooooo 🤔

im choosing ignorance for right now but will cover it at the end of this (this being a whole essay 💀)

So, it looks like Baylan has a green kyber crystal in his belt. This post and others have pointed it out

Obviously, this begs the question of whom did it belong to? Immediately the thought would be Baylan’s. He was a padawan of the Jedi Order, trained into knighthood, and eventually a general during the Clone Wars. He created his own lightsaber hilt and (maybe, idrk exactly how it works forgive me) chose his own crystal. And, even if he didn’t, it was still a part of who he was for that portion of his early life.

We learned last episode he misses the idea of the Order. With Baylan, there’s a heavy amount of sentimentality associated with the Jedi, especially if we believe (which I do wholeheartedly) that he lost a padawan.

But that’s what begs the other question—is the crystal from his padawan? Did he take it from his padawans lightsaber and keep it for himself to carry on the memory of that kid (who i like to think was a female but that’s the girldad lover in me speaking)? Was it motivated by grief? Has he allowed himself to grieve at all, and if not, was taking the crystal his way of avoiding that emotion?

Or was it motivated by grief? There is no emotion, only peace. Is that when he ditched the code? How could he have any sort of peace after losing his padawan? Or, did he find that peace in keeping the crystal?

But then there’s my other question—what’s the significance of it? Dave Filoni, from what I’ve seen, is intentional. I don’t think adding what looks like a green kyber crystal in Baylan’s belt is just some sort of happenstance that didn’t have any thought behind it.

And, with Baylan’s character, it’s way too significant. When it comes to how he feels about the Jedi, how he seems to actually feel a little bad about having to kill Ahsoka in episode 2. His relationship with Shin. The padawan braid. It all screams significance to me.

So, when it comes to significance, what role is it going to play by the end of the show? I really cannot see it being included and making Baylan’s character so nuanced and intriguing and then not doing anything with it.

Mundi and I were talking about this earlier today. I mentioned these main two points, but also this-

And then Mundi had to drive the stake further through my heart and twist it around by basically saying what if Baylan’s dying act was giving Shin his crystal (still thinking about this mundi THANKS)

I said a stretch at first, but it doesn’t seem too far-fetched anymore (except for her becoming fully good). Now, I don’t want Baylan to die. He’s the last character I want to die and I love him, BUT…

How he dies? I have no idea. Thrawn, Morgan, Enoch? Ahsoka, Sabine, Ezra? Betrayed by Shin? (very doubtful i feel) I think there’s a lot of options of how it could happen, if the cards are played right.

So if we think that’s the case, Shin is around when he dies or mortally wounded. Maybe she sees it happen to him like how he saw it happen to his last padawan. Shin is distraught, the most emotion we see from her because, well, it’s Baylan who’s trained her and borderline raised her, and they have a moment together before he passes. Baylan makes her take the crystal (which would hit a lot harder if it is his original one and did not belong to his padawan) and they have some sappy goodbye that’ll have me crying for six weeks.

We’ve also all talked about how Shin and subtext from some of her lines that indicates some sort of… longing or curiosity regarding the Jedi. If, within the last two episodes, those are confirmed or it’s revealed that Baylan could sense that feeling in Shin, i think (assuming he does die in this way) giving her his crystal makes sense.

Maybe she keeps it as sentimental in her own belt as I don’t see her turning fully to the Light in the show. But, if there’s another season, who knows.

Going back four paragraphs, I believe if it were Thrawn or Morgan who killed him or orchestrated his death, Shin would not follow them back. She’d go with Ahsoka and the Gang TM home in the purrgil mouths. She clearly hates Peridea and, if Ahsoka and the crew are there to witness Baylan’s death (for whatever reason), they could have sympathy on Shin maybe and help her home.

OK. I hope that covered those thoughts in a somewhat coherent fashion. Here’s where that chosen ignorance comes in.

Shin’s braid. An anon actually sent a link to a tweet with both this AND the Baylan one in one post, so thank you nonnie for that!

Anyway. Shin’s braid. Three (four?) green kyber crystals.

Why.

Did they, for some reason, come from Baylan? Did he just have a cluster of them and he gave her a few to include in her braid?

If the braid was her idea, did she want them included in it? Did they still come from Baylan if that’s true? Did she want to feel that connected to the Jedi from the start of her apprenticeship with Baylan to include them in her braid?

If the braid was Baylan’s idea, did he include them? Weave them through the strands? Did he talk to her about including them? Including crystals in a padawan braid wasnt traditional, to my knowledge (not that they are traditional jedi). Was it some sort of selfish choice? Was the ghost of his padawan still lingering in the middle of these two that he felt he had to?

WHAT DOES IT MEAN. WHY ARE THEY THERE. WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE.

I NEED THEIR WHOLE STORY RIGHT NOW

if you ever want to play tf2, hit me up and ill show you the way

ohhh thats a really nice invite thank you i might consider it :-) truth is that i avoid playing any sort of multiplayer game cause i am decisively very bad at videogames and the idea of playing in a quick paced multiplayer session with a bunch of other people who are much better at the game than me and can get mad at me for being bad at it really intimidates me HAH specially considering the existing stereotype of multiplayer gamers as being rude and aggressive towards people who play badly and insult people on vc and all that shit. so i usually dont even try

#might be worth trying something new and leaving my comfort zone and all that but those are the fears i usually have in mind #im not much of a gamer.... i have really bad motor skills and cant think fast #thats why i usually just play casual or non gameplay heavy stuff #ask #0sbrain

nowhere/my tavs relationship with gale mostly just

- im just trying to be nice i dont want to fuck dude can you chill out

- yeah i know, i'm magic too buddy. Yeah i know, still magic. Yeah. I Know. I Am Made Of Magic. Please.

- i want magic loredump but i am begging you to shut up about your ex man it's honestly almost depressing how badly you fumbled quite literally the multiverses baddest bitch

(im still in act 1 no spoilers)

making an edit to this now that i know things: mystra when i get you. when i get you mystra.

i do think nowhere still thinks gale is kind of pathetic and gale does flirt way too much for their taste but like. hes a victim

#bg3 #baldurs gate 3 #oc tag #nowhere #tav #bg3 tav #bg3 gale #disclaimer of i dont care if you like him hes like Fine I Guess #but nowhere is thoroughly annoyed #their relationship is like some white nerd boy who has a chip on his shoulder about being a nerd abt this specific thing #and you who grew up with the thing casually but still know a lot and hes like omgggg a gamer girl? and is rly weird about it #and like hes mostly harmless about it and you kinda just wanna be casual friends still to talk about your niche mutual interest #but youre starkly aware of the fact that he has a thing for you sometimes and its just kinda like. mm. ok. moving on #also the chip on his shoulder thing about being a nerd but you have like Actual Problems #this seems so specific but its a thing id witnessed and experienced a lot when i was a Teen Girl [pre transition]#bg3 spoilers #????#idk what constitutes spoilers its fairly early game stuff afaik #bc im still in act 1 #bg3 posting

hey locking dlc behind a game's hardest difficulty is actually cringe

#i paid an extra $30 on this game for the dlc that i cant even play #yes im bad at the game but i deserve my money's worth anyway #(i preordered the deluxe version of the game so i had no idea the dlc would be difficulty locked when i bought it)#(bc the dlc didnt even exist yet)#and sure you dont have to replay the whole game on the hardest difficulty to unlock the dlc #but the fact that casual gamers can't at least attempt to enjoy their purchase is just upsetting

I'm ngl I only played the start of season of plunder and the end of season of seraph. kinda skipped most of the witch queen seasons because I was playing other games

Extremely valid of you, I remember that Witch Queen dropped the same time as Elden Ring, so I was basically screaming trying to complete Witch Queen as fast as possible so I could get to Elden Ring before I got spoiled on major boss stuff. End result was that I didn't keep up with the seasonal stuff bc I was swamped with ER feels sjhfg

I also just tend to hop in and out of Destiny based on what aspect of their vast story that I'm interested in- which is pretty much the Eliksni and the Hive-focused stuff, with a good sprinkling of Sov content because I fucking love them. I'm just here for the aliens. I didn't even come back to it til Plunder bc there just wasn't enough Eliksni focus for my attention to keep on it, though ofc Plunder was gonna catch me because my main blorbo (Eramis) was in it

#im a casual gamer when it comes to d2 big rip #in my defense though i do not care much about humanity or the last city i just want ALIENS #im like this for all media tho lmfao #anon #reply #destiny 2
