(Rose slightly opened the door and was punched in the nose,she covered her bleeding nose was she held onto the wall,though her vision was horribly blurry,she was still able to see…him.)

THREE CHEERS FOR THE FOUNDATION OF THE ROMAN REPUBLIC! or LUCIUS JUNIUS BRUTUS AND THE CORPSES OF HIS SONS

As soon, then, as it was day, Brutus seated himself upon the tribunal and examined the letters of the conspirators; and when he found those written by his sons, each of which he recognized by the seals, and, after he had broken the seals, by the handwriting, he first ordered both letters to be read by the secretary in the hearing of all who were present, and then commanded his sons to speak if they had anything to say. But when neither of them dared resort to shameless denial, but both wept, having long since convicted themselves, Brutus, after a short pause, rose up and commanding silence, while everyone was waiting to learn what sentence he would pronounce, said he condemned his sons to death. Whereupon they all cried out, indignant that such a man should be punished by the death of his sons, and they wished to spare the lives of the youths as a favour to their father. But he, paying no heed to either their cries or their lamentations, ordered the lictors to lead the youths away, though they wept and begged and called upon him in the most tender terms. Even this seemed astonishing to everybody, that he did not yield at all to either the entreaties of the citizens or the laments of his sons; but much more astonishing still was his relentlessness with regard to their punishment. For he neither permitted his sons to be led away to any other place and put to death out of sight of the public, nor did he himself, in order to avoid the dreadful spectacle, withdraw from the Forum till after they had been punished; nor did he allow them to undergo the doom pronounced against them without ignominy, but he caused every detail of the punishment established by the laws and customs against malefactors to be observed, and only after they had been scourged in the Forum in the sight of all the citizens, he himself being present when all this was done, did he then allow their heads to be cut off with the axes. But the most extraordinary and the most astonishing part of his behaviour was that he did not once avert his gaze nor shed a tear, and while all the rest who were present at this sad spectacle wept, he was the only person who was observed not to lament the fate of his sons, nor to pity himself for the desolation that was coming upon his house, nor to betray any other signs of weakness, but without a tear, without a groan, without once shifting his gaze, he bore his calamity with a stout heart.

-Roman Antiquities, Dionysius of Halicarnassus

something about how every turn of rome is founded on acts of violence, death, spectacle, and sacrifice. like, it’s all corpses, all the way down, forever. something else about how the foundation of the republic was very. oof. a lot of familial violence was going on in there.

also I can’t believe I’ve never drawn lucius junius brutus before, given all the weird shit I’ve said about marcus junius brutus and ancestral hauntings.

I hate how you can't talk about your headcanons or hypotheticals for Gina and Collette after Decay without someone interjecting with, "Erm actually Gina is dead so-" Shut uuupppp!!!!!!! The way people will just accept anything is canon no matter how questionable the source is is so frustrating. You're saying there's NO conceivable way Gina could be alive because *checks notes* Randy Pitchford made a tweet responding to someone's question about Gina's model being used in Opossing Force as a dead body on Xen. A game that came out before Gina's playable appearance in Decay. Where she isn't even wearing the same HEV suit.

Seriously, why are we letting tweets made YEARS after the fact have the same level of relevancy and importance as the games themselves.

*Cue some silly tomfoolery involving shredded paper*

Colette *not fully paying attention*: If you put that on my desk I'll fucking kill you.

Gordon: 😥

Colette: Oh. Oh I did not realize I said that out loud. Sorry.

In me heart, Killer Frequency has like, 8 movies, 2 failed reboots, and a tv miniseries.

YEAH ALL THE EVENTS LEADING TO THE COLLAPSE HAPPEN SO SO FAST

Iirc we see in one of the broadcasts between SRS and NSH that Spearmaster isn't on its first trip to FP, since it was the one that brought him the gold pearl before the events of its campaign. We also know that it got to return to SRS in its ending, so everything between FP getting the pearl and Moon's collapse (which is pretty much imminent according to her last broadcast) happens during Spearmaster's lifetime.

Next we got Artificer that likely is closer to Spearmaster than Hunter on the timeline considering the state of Waterfront Facility, but I don't think it's too far from Hunter either.

NSH mentions that by the time the slugcat carrying his "care package" is ready and arrives to Moon, it would already be too late. Considering it was a race against time (which I headcanon is why there was an... oversight in Hunter), I think Hunter was just in time to save Moon before she was lost for good, so I would eyeball it as closer to Artificer than Gourmand on the timeline. Justifies scavengers not liking it too.

Hunter long legs is debatably canon but considering we don't know how long a rot cyst survives while still attached to its host, I wouldn't really consider Gourmand as confirmed happening right afterwards. Moon does still remember Hunter tho so 🤔

I think you could even divide the timeline in 3 with past that happens really fast one after another (Spearmaster, Artificer, Hunter and maybe Gourmand), present which can be closer together if not pretty much instantaneous (Gourmand, Survivor and Monk) and after that we got the future which is much farther apart and shows two kinds of endings (Rivulet with the end of the iterator siblings story by reconciling them, and Saint showing the end of Rainworld).

Sorry for rambling, it just fascinates me all the "past" campaigns seem to happen so close together, there could possibly even be an overlap on the first three slugcats lifetimes, while the "future" campaigns are, in comparison, incredibly distant. It's like everything went wrong so fast for a long and agonizing death.

Hoho timeline talk. More under cut.

Yes Spearmaster is the one who delivered that gold pearl! Supported by Suns saying Pebbles was previously gentle with extracting it. It is pretty much outright said to us!

After follows Artificer! That is why there are scavs in the exterior in Spears' campaign. She's coming for pest control. Also did you know that Moon's siren is still functional during her time, even if Moon isn't? I got chills hearing it.

Hunter comes to wake up Moonie <3

I imagine our brave strawberry kitty was quite a bit after Artificer actually. All the scavs in the exterior are CLEARED and the entirety of Waterfront facility has already crumbled. It's been quite some time.

Meanwhile Gourmand is VERY close after! I mean Hunter has only what? A handful of cycles and you can actually see their body if you fail the run. RIGHT where you failed it too. Gourmand comes so close after that Moon still remembers Hunter! Which mind you her memory is awful. Gourm and Hunter are VERY close by timeline wise. I believe closer than Artificer and Hunter.

Survivor and Monk happen a little after Gourmand given all the sluggies have already been convinced to migrate (aka the tree being vacant of other scugs).

Rivulet and Saint happen a LOOOONG time appart. From like everything.

At least moon can remember all of those little kitties (except arti).

And I think it's cute. A bunch have helped her along the way.

(There was a sudden crash in the hall and pico was knocked into the wall,his infection quickly getting worse…Rose quickly rushed to him.)

Pico! Are you ok?!…honey?..

That’s…that’s not Keith…not anymore…

ONCE UPON A TIME 5.16, Our Decay

Thinking about totk again and what how, ultimately, Link is the best/worst possible matchup for that incarnation of Ganondorf.

What comes to mind is the upheaval decaying almost all the weapons. I can imagine Ganondorf picturing Link, without the master sword, unable to find a suitable replacement. Man has no idea that this Link spent an entire previous game beating bokoblins to death with their own skeletal arms. He’ll use sticks. Mops. Torches. I once saw a man kill a lynel with a bookshelf.

Ganondorf reenacting the ‘our battle will be legendary!’ tai lung meme while Link is laser focused on building a restaurant around him as fast as possible. Just an absolute looney toons matchup
