Topic: Genshin impact.
au: Sagau.
idea: So what if you had the powers of every character you played as in every game you played and then get isekaid into genshin impact with imposter au. I imagine it goes smth like
Zhongli: “I will have order!”
reader, Who played Roblox as someone who lagged the game (explanation: I’m pretty sure ping is also how time works in games. If you can control the flow of ping you can control the flow of time in games.): “ZA WARUDO!”
Heyyy!! Thanks for waiting for the reply/response from my slow ass :0
Tumblr media
So they did clarify what they meant/expand so imma just copy paste that here!
“k now I remember. So basically imma write it here since it’s easier: Basically you don’t have to (but you can) transform into the character that has those set of powers but if you do those powers are enhanced.”
Sun: Reader (”you”/they/them)
Orbit: Headcanons-ish, Light Imposter AU (as in, NOT Yandere/Dark), mild crossover elements bc Shapeshifter Shenanigans™️
Stars: bro idek
Comets & Meteors: Content Warnings: mild cussing, genshin typical mild violence, & Trigger Warnings: none known.
Please comment if I missed any. /gen
so fair warning,, ive never seen jojo bizarre, but i appreciate i come off well-read/watched? LMAO
so im just gonna kinda,, guess? like just cycle thru diff. random media, and im hoping both me and you reading this will have a fun time (as this is a little challenge, but i like it so ill give it a shot, dont kno if its a good one but- 😅)
so to set the scene, of how u got to this point, ykno of running like ur life (maybe?) depends on u running around different teyvat countries,
u thought it was weird everyone knew a little too much about you?? (ofc theyve heard u during gaming, they know u the same way we all know Markiplier, get it?)
then a bunch of NPCs/Vision users/Archons?? were REALLY invested in talking to you, which freaked u out even more
and by the time you saw Zhongli, yknow, just the oldest god in game, making a fast-walk towards you, ykno the retired god who didnt move an inch when an old water god attacked Liyue for a test, is now hurrying to you???
ur logically get so fucking scared sm shits abt to go down, u just start running
it isnt until ur reaching for a ledge and some webbing shoots out of ur arm (from a glitchy little spot on ur arm, where it could be coming out of ur skin, but sometimes its a blue and red bracelet)
it latched onto the nearest building, and thats how u find out u can grapple ur way, literally Spiderman style, out of the harbor
and bro, idk if it would be fun, or confusing and stressful, or maybe both?? to just find out u can use any video game power from any game youve played before as you go running from countries bc for some freaky reason they know too much abt you/are pursuing you-
dUDE- they had small statues of you in like every little section of their cities
u head to Mondstadt and as Venti comes screaming and flying at you (in excitement, but ur freaked), u go to hold a hand up and suddenly ur holding a heavy stone tablet that unleashes some holographic yellow chains that freeze him in place-?? why is this familiar-
oh my god u have the sheikah slate from Breath of the Wild,
and as ur booking it out of there, u manage to get ahold of a sword, and u know exactly how to use it to knock back favonius knights trying to stop you (they are concerned for their god who is just unleashing random powers on ppl, pls let Grandmaster Jean just talk to you Your Majesty-!!)
by the time you teleport ur way to Inazuma, (bc u still have this worlds access to ur player/traveler’s powers), ur trying to find a nice place to stay for a little bit
at least in that sweet spot of the Raiden not noticing/finding you, while things cool down on the main continent, before moving on,
and u get some tools to help fashion just a little shelter, bc u dont have any money/mora rn, and ur able to literally build a house???
a mailbox pops up and thanks you for renting with Tom Nook???? As in Animal Crossing-
and rlly if the BOTW/slate thing didnt clue u into video game powers, then this definitely would tbh lmao
right as u see Yae Miko circling ur house, with an armful of books? ..is she planning to thru them at you??, u get the hell out of dodge before her favorite god can follow along
(she knows ur prefrences in books and got authors/trends to start so youd have plenty to read, and she was making sure it was ur house before politely dropping them off! how was she to know thatd spook their favorite God, Ei?!)
u get to Sumeru and think ur safe, hiding in an abandoned forest watcher outpost (1 person treehouse rlly) when Nahida shows up in ur dreams,
and u just,
walk out of the dream, into reality, and possess a nearby ruin guard so u can sleep in peace, bc she cant access a robot,
that one baffled u as you re-possessed ur own body before realizing-
Five Nights at Freddy’s. 💀
U cant do that forever, so u try Fontaine, hoping Neuvillette/Furina wont rlly give af abt you, plus theyre the latest region, so maybe they have the least exposure to whatever the other archons didnt like abt you??
u get there and are immediately summoned to court, and right as the mekas show up to escort you, jfc they have a mecha army
(meanwhile, theyre thinking, yknow. high profile guest/our god of gods. ofc we need state of the art mekas to escort them, its only polite-)
meanwhile ur cape has now become wings, and a mask covers ur face as you glide and fly ur way over the city in an attempt to get to where u assume Snezhnaya is
it doesnt occur to you the game until ur running out of stamnia and catch ur reflection in the waters of fontaine, Sky: Children of the Light
u hope the Tsaritsa’s dislike for other gods/Celestia doesnt extend to ur otherworldly presence so ur just hoping for the best atp tbh
tbh youd forget what all powers you have, and the absolute chaos ur causing urself as u try to desperately rememeber what games youve played thru ur entire life is NOT helping to reduce confusion when u randomly wake up with elf ears (legend of zelda/botw) or get dragged into another ruin machine when u fall asleep/faint/do smth u guess mimics death lmao- (fnaf) 💀
(meanwhile the Tsaritsa does get wind ur coming this way, and just, makes the people have a parade/festival to celebrate you coming,
she did also have to get Pierro/Captaino to physically restrain some of them from going ahead to meet/escort you to the palace, she’d heard how the others scared u off, and was, ironically, hoping the warm welcome would clear things up)
well that was, something. 😃🫠
sorry lil car, that was such a fun idea idk if i did it justice!! i thought itd be too op to include every media youve consumed ever, so i kept it to video games, (which, could u cheat the system if youve played smash bros??)
i hope it was at least a decent read, and sorry im half asleep so i was not v funny this time around, but, again, hope u got smth out of it 😭
</3
on another note, im having my wisdom teeth surgery this friday, send whatever u got my way, prayers, blessings, good vibes, ill take anything im nervous 🙃
have a good week guys!
Safe Travels Lil Car,

Things ive heard my 56 yr old dad say while playing TOTK
“its not deep you turkey” talking to his horse abt going into water
“i know sweetie im sorry” also talking to his horse but this time trying to get it to jump off a ledge cus he didnt wanna abandon her
“link get me the youtube helper” he was stuck in a shrine and i told him ppl upload videos to help and now whenever hes stuck he summons me out of my room to find the shrine on youtube
“ive killed myself. thats just not good”
“Where is the beast”
“wheres the armour that lets u go underwater”
“oh yeah thats not a thing in this game”
“what >:(“ then proceeds to continue looking and asking me where it is
not something he said but i was asleep and he woke me up to put totk in his switch because totk was in my switch and we only have one game we share between eachother and he didnt know how to get games in and out of the switch

i really dont know what to do. i was in a really good place - w college stuff. good grades, not too much procrastinating. but w henrys repeated s*icide attempts threats meltdowns whatever. the courtcases, the unemployment, the teen fucking pregnancy. im just. im losing everything. i cant sleep for longer than 3 hours if i'm lucky, & when i do - i have nightmares abt him dead, my ex dead, my significant other - dead (bc i cant date anyone who hasnt tried to off themselves ig!) feel so silly in class, so stupid & unstable & weak for not being able to keep my shit together alongside everything, but i dont have enough life to go back to when things go wrong. ive tried really hard to build it & it's not nothing but it's not enough. im so scared. i dont want to have to drop out of college a second time, i dont WANT to be the one who cant do this, out of myself & nate. im so angry & sad that i cant protect myself & im so sick of everyone trying to kill themselves & me - literally - having to be the one who calls someone to get them off the ledge. waiting & hoping & begging that the people i love dont make ignorant, cruel decisions that destroy me as an afterthought recipient. they can lie back & think of suicide whenever things go phenominally wrong, but i cant - so! i just have to live no matter how hard it is even when i have no stomach for it! what am i supposed to do? if nate shows up in december for that stupid mountain goats show it will break my heart again. i thought it would be different this time. i made it so that it would be different this time.

nobody asked but im typing out all the gripes i have w totk . they're mostly nick-picky tho i loved this game. complaints first, praises after
single biggest gripe i have with totk is that the main selling point of the game, the sky, does not feel nearly as expansive as it should. i feel like there coulda been waayyy more islands up there, and Bigger ones, like the one u start out on. i want bigger pieces of land to explore, not these tiny little rocks. it feels i've seen everything there is to see the moment i land. as far as i remember, there's no biomes in the sky islands either, except for the great sky one. there's no differences, and many of the islands are copy-pasted. still fun to explore and still beautiful, but i was expecting... more
while i love the depths with all my heart and being down there is an Experience, i do think it could've been improved with a little bit of variety. it looks the same wherever u go, with the exception of the eldin region and a few other lavafalls sprinkled about. i think some different biomes woulda been so cool
no post-game. i don't even necessarily want a fully fleshed out post-game, i literally just want the game and the world to acknowledge i beat ganon instead of dumping me back in time moments before the fight i just started. this is a common thing, i know, but i Hate the practice
u can't pet th efuckign dogs
what the hell happened to ganon's face in that one scene . i thought we were past weirdly impossible expressions like that one midna grin. why did it happen again in the year 2023.
why did ganon's intro scene before the final fight pan to his feet so much
kinda predictable story, in the sense that zelda turned into the light dragon. saw it comin a mile away, but this is just me being bitchy the story itself is still very fulfilling and good. just predictable, which isn't necessarily a bad thing
okay that was 7 complaints 2 of which were memes now sit back as i ramble abt the good stuff. already made a thread abt the little stuff i liked now it's the bigish stuff
the music in some of the areas is genuine fucking art. some of my favorites are the wind temple theme and it's approach track, the construct factory theme, dragonhead island, the bits of the calamity ganon theme in this game's final boss track, frozen rito village,,, so many pieces of genuine skill and talent
the wind temple is absolutely one of the best experiences i've had in a video game, not because of the puzzle design, but the temple design. the moment where you look up into the clouds with tulin and you see a giant airship silhouette highlighted by lightning,, the approach track that plays when ur getting higher into the air had chills running down my spine. what a cool fucking concept for a temple
there's already a post somewhere on tumblr abt this, but i love that the citizens of hyrule don't follow the typical "every man for himself" apocalyptic mindset. they help each other, constantly. they seek out people to help in their spare time. they shelter each other and volunteer to do hard work for the sake of everybody else. i just think that's rly endearing n nice. a good message
the entire fuse and ultrahand mechanics are SUPER fun. so endlessly creative. and i love that a lot of the time, the game doesn't hold ur hand. it doesn't even Grab ur hand, it pushes u off the ledge to teach you how to fly. it Makes u get creative with ur solutions. it makes u feel stupid a Lot, but sometimes it makes u feel like an absolute genius (anybody else have trouble with that one rail shrine? anybody else just launch themselves across the pit and rail grind to skip the thing entirely?)
tulin.
the vibes of the thunderhead isles were Incredible. i went up there before the clouds cleared, and i gotta say, even if the game Wants u to go up there later in the story, exploring those islands while the storm is still active is an entirely different experience, and i recommend it. if ur reading this before you've finished this part, just don't go to the actual dragonhead island . leave that for when it prompts u, trust me.
ganon's dragon design ? fucking killer
a lot of the new armor pieces are really beautiful. the miner's set looks so fuckin stupid but the headpiece is cool. all the torso pieces for the elemental dragon sets r Gorgeous
loved that the first half of the final boss took place in the depths, and the second half took place in the sky. nintendo has always been good at linking game elements with stories and this is no exception imo
LOVED when ganon's health bar stretched super far to the right. that was so silly and intimidating
in the final fight, the way ganon would only be affected by flurry rushes at first and not any random attacks, but then random attacks were the only way to hit him later. i know it was scripted, but it genuinely made it feel like he was learning to fight link better
the theme of cycles and the circular nature of time throughout this game is wonderful, and how it's mirrored in the first/last settings of the game is genius. how the game starts in a cave, and then part of the ending is in that same cave. how link dived alone into that pond below the great sky island at the start, and then at the very end he dived For Zelda in that very same pond

im quivering at the fact that BDAS finale is looming over us I know someone's going to die and my timbers are shivering:( Daily Hobie HC! Imagine having like- those first few dates with him. He won't settle for something basic such as dinners or picnics, unless you ask. Instead, Hobie will bring you out to abandoned buildings, an animal shelter or even his own boathouse if you guys just felt like having a more relaxed date. Whenever he brings you to these abandoned sights, he always makes sure that it's safe for both of you. His main goal is to get to the top of the place, and so obviously you two try your best to race up there. Screw him and his spider-abilities though, he looks like he teleported there with a smug smirk on his face while you're panting like you've run a marathon; which you probably did. Once the casual affectionate exchange of insults between you two is over, he sits on the ledge and beckons you over. As soon as you sit down next to him, he snakes his arm around your waist, complaining that you aren't close enough, while making sure you don't fall. If you get cold, he'll offer you his jacket. While it may not look much, considering it's sleeveless, it still does provide quite a bit of warmth. If you guys were to just be hanging out for a date in his boathouse, he'll play some of his music for you or even just settle on having a movie night. (He'll make sure it's horror so he can scare you >:) ) Even if you end up falling asleep at his place, depending on whether you feel comfortable enough around him, he'll willingly carry (aka swing) you back to your place, making sure you're all comfortable and safe before he goes. And hey, who knows. When you wake up, you might find that you've got a little trinket beside your pillow with a note on it, reading 'Hobie Brown was here'. Off topic I got my hair cut and styled into a messy wolfcut and I love it sm! I look androgynous now so people have to guess and hope for the best muahah (they'll be wrong either way cus i said so) - 🐦‍⬛
AHHHHH I KNOW!!!!! IT'S SO VERY SPECIAL TO ME AND I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S FINALLY DONE!!! (I have tears in my eyes everytime i think abt it tbh)
DAILY HOBIE HC YIPEEE!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
YOU BEAT ME TO IT!! I have a request where Hobie and r explore an abandoned place for a date!! Stay tuned for it, babes bc i think you'll love it!! (And you're so right abt him racing you even tho he has abilities 😂)
He probably read somewhere that watching a horror movie on a date makes your date like you more bc it gets the blood pumping making them think it's attraction 😂 (it's definitely attraction btw) also it might backfire for him bc now you're not letting him go to get more popcorn bc you're clinging to him to hide from the scary man on the telly 😂😂😂
The lil note 🥺 it probably even has a doodle of him!!
Ooh what a coinkidink! I've been meaning to cut my hair bc it has gotten so long that it's almost near my butt LMAOOO 🤣 wolfcut! I love that style, i love it so much that i know how to cut my own hair in that style (and unfortunately only in that style 😂🤣🤣) I bet you look amazing, lovely❤️

im so fucking insane first love / late spring is such a fucking perfect doctorjack song throwing up throwing upppp
sorry i HAVEEEEE to lay out EXACTLY what scenes / lines i relate all the lyrics to so heres that.
the black hole / of the / window / where you sleep: jack in his bed through the manhole (small worlds) + 13 at night in her jail cell (revolution of the daleks)
the night breeze / carries / something sweet / a peach tree: jack hearing the tardis (end of days) + "i've missed that sound" (revolution of the daleks)
wild women don't get the blues / but i find that / lately i've been crying like a / tall child: "i was in prison for being me right at the point when i wasnt sure what that meant" (revolution of the daleks)
so please hurry leave me:
jack realizing that they left him (the parting of the ways)
10 seeing jack running toward the tardis and trying to get away (utopia)
"how long have u known?" "ever since i ran away from you. good luck" (utopia)
10 looking back at jack + jack winking after he gets shot by the dalek (journey's end)
i can't breathe: jack coming back to life 8 billion different times
please don't say you love me:
"it's not easy even just looking at you, jack" (utopia)
"its like when u fancy someone and they dont even know u exist, thats what its like. come on" "you too, huh?" (the sound of drums)
"and three very special people ive missed" "one of them was me, right?" (revolution of the daleks)
jack being weird abt ianto calling them a couple (children of earth)
"if it was going to be anyone, itd be you. but i cant" (legend of the sea devils)
You Know, THAT Scene (children of earth day 4)
"i think i need to do this next bit alone" (power of the doctor)
胸がはち切れそうで (mune ga hachikire-sōde; my chest is about to burst):
8 billion jack deaths
the scene with the hand (day one)
"earth 1892. got in a fight in ellis island. a man shot me thru the heart" (utopia)
9 / 10 about to regenerate (parting of the ways + the stolen earth)
one word from you and i would / jump off of this / ledge i'm on / baby:
various shots of jack on rooftops OR dying for the doctor
"i was much better off as a coward" (the parting of the ways)
"the right kind of doctor" (end of days)
jack keeping 10 from falling into the engines (utopia)
jack jumping off the roof (immortal sins)
didnt somebody fall off a cliff in the timeless children??? that
tell me "don't" / so i can / crawl back in:
jack obeying 10 and not shooting the futurekind (utopia)
the way jack looks at the daleks before he purposefully gets shot by them (journey's end)
just. all the times jack obeys the doctor
and i was so young / when i behaved / twenty five: jack and 9 in series 1
yet now i find / i've grown into / a tall child: jack realizing how to kill the 456 (coe day 5) + something something 13 timeless child etc etc
and i don't wanna go home yet: jack's childhood etc (adam) + 13 putting the pocket watch into the console (the vanquishers)
let me walk to the top of the big night sky: jack using the vortex manipulator to disappear (children of earth day 5)
anyway im SO fucking crazy.

hello matthew!! :D this ask isnt related to the little game u made unfortunately but id like to ask for some advice from someone who probably has to read a lot for school!!
i finished reading a classic of literature recently, jane austens persuasion. having repeated myself many times today, it was a very good thought provoking book. except that i didnt really realise that until i read the introduction of the book where they discuss her techniques and how she handles the themes!! argh.. in fact while i was readin the whole thing i didnt even really know what to feel! i knew about the instances of titular persuasion but i wasnt even really sure what they were saying with nuance...
since im so troubled by my lack of sensitivity and find no help elsewhere on the interwebs, as someone who i find can parse the complex muddled text of enstars with clarity, what should i do to become a more sensitive reader! or rather how do u read matthew?
hi lab! im a lil honored that u hold me in such high regard bc honestly, i dont always feel that my literary analysis skills are up to par! though i think thats an opinion shared by many but i often end up in the same position as you and even my professors say the same thing where they have to reread books before they start to really delve into analysis. its p normal, honestly. a lot of themes in literature are largely opinionated so some people pick up patterns faster than others and sometimes two readings can conflict with one another. it happens! one reading may be more clearly supported by evidence within the text but analyzing literature usually takes a lot of practice more than anything, but sometimes going back to the basics rlly helps and focusing on which critical theory may be applicable. could you maybe analyze the text through a character? perhaps the psychoanalytic theory may help! are gender roles present within the text? maybe looking at it through a feminist critical lens may give you a good ledge to start off. theres also formalism, post-colonialist, Marxist theory, eco-criticism, etc... the world is your oyster and having trouble with analyzing a text is normal! we're not all-knowing and sometimes it helps to look at what other people have to say will help you most of all.
also i asked my friend @cupidneos who is insanely smart for her advice since i bet that she would have something to say (also shes also a jane austen fan) and this is what she said:
i do wanna say that you shouldn’t be too hard on yourself since Persuasion is easily one of her hardest texts to really extend and make sense of so it’s no fault of your own … literature that uses free indirect discourse to hint towards our knowledge of character tends to be harder to understand bc of how limited that info can be! that being said, not being able to place our finger on something until it’s highlighted is completely okay! that’s what the introduction is there for; to help you out. there’s no set list of criteria to being a “more sensitive reader” since the phenomenon of reading itself is so mercurial. with practice i’m so certain that u will get a better sense of where to look for those literary themes. and don’t sell urself short in doing so either! if u find a passage important, pursue it!!! doesn’t matter what everyone else says abt it hehe

finally beat pikmin 4 :}
spoilers under the cut as i ramble.
first off: my complaints.
biggest issue thats on my mind rn since it was effecting me just now in the final fight: if i throw my pikmin but they arent too far from me, they just come back to me??? i was trying to put them on a ledge so the final boss' heat wave wouldnt kill them. bc some of them like the purples werent thrown far, they kept coming back. that feature kind of sucks!
second: not sure why they made bootleg versions of pikmin 3 captains. i get why they werent in the game (though, they couldve been castaways with a side quest of gathering all the fruit treasures but, whatever) but i dont get why they needed bootleg versions. nelle couldve been an entirely different looking npc, yknow? one of them was even alph's brother...
third: caves werent nearly as long. aside from the final cave being 20 floors (and just like a boss rush for the most part, but also there were some like that in 2 so its fine) every cave was like 1-5 floors. i wouldve appreciated longer caves.. its definitely a possibility since you can choose which sublevel to go to after leaving a cave, so u dont have to do a long one entirely over.
also, the "only 3 pikmin at a time" was a little annoying. im glad you can have more than 3 types in a cave, at least, but you cant bring more than 3 with you which sucks. i get putting a limit, but i think a good limit wouldve been 5. 20 of each to have 100, like pikmin 2 and 3! also probably wouldve let caves be more interesting with more varieties to bring.
just a nitpick at this point but i don't quite understand the "existing enemy but just larger with no visual difference aside from size" trend. sovereign bulblax is slightly visually different, so i can accept that. but the jumbo bulborb and blowhogs, aside from different movesets, were just scaled up models. i think doing something to make them look a little different wouldve been nice, even if it was just a color difference or smth.
final complaint: i love glow pikmin but why must they replace bulbmin :{
the glow seeds are nice... but bulbmin are so everything to me. reserving glowmin 2 night time only and bulbmin in select caves wouldve been nice. i get it but also. i miss them....
---
ANYWAYS. complaints out of the way.
i thought i wouldnt like the "basically back to 1 captain" thing, but it was actually pretty good! oatchi is basically like a captain as well but with more capabilities, so i think it was pretty good. the upgrade system was also real nice imo!! with your character, oatchi and the onions, it was neat. it gives a better feeling of progression, and doesnt make things TOO easy from the beginning, getting as many red pikmin as possible to kill everything.
also i wasnt sold on the series reboot thing, but i think it works fine. i get having to reboot it to integrate the dogs into the story! (i still want to believe pikmin 3 will happen in this timeline sort of. i doubt olimar and louie would be present, but yknow.)
im also happy there were so many areas, and even with ~230 (239?) treasure types, i liked that there were a lot of repeats. without having to make so many different models, we got a ton of treasure to pick up.
the old bosses brought back were fun, too!! submerged castle 2 was really intense and fun. a little unsure why baldy long legs was back, but not shaggy... are they all permanently hairless now?
overall very good game. im not sure if its going to dethrone 2 as my favorite, but its certainly my 2nd fav! (3 being 3rd, 1 being 4th. 1 is very janky and unforgiving, so its just not as fun.)
the platforming elements brought in with the introduction of oatchi were really good. pikmin platforming.. its very cool and works really well! i was worried abt it, but honestly it wasnt too overdone, but not neglected at all. and better than pikmin sidescroller.
at this point, all i can hope for is maybe some free updates for the future... if not, hopefully a substantial dlc that would feel worth paying for. (the dlc for pikmin 3 was kind of a joke.)
dandori stages and battles, as well as night mode were kind of hard for me to adjust to, but once i got it figured out it was really satisfying. still not a big fan of vs dandori, but somehow i managed to at least get bronze and silver on the last 2 on my first try. night mode... that final stage was. a bit much. 2 proggs, 3 emperors i think it was? and a long legs??? it felt a little ridiculous, and i DID have to look up a guide, but i got it.
overall probably a 9/10 for me (even pikmin 2 isnt a 10/10, dont worry). its definitely the longest of pikmin games which i love, i was hoping for a super long game and it delivered pretty well! i think i spent close to 50 hours playing just one file to 100% completion. much better than the few hours you can spend playing pikmin 3.
now im going to start a new file, this time doing a no death run. i only lost 14 pikmin total, so i absolutely can do it!!

ok fiiiinally able to talk abt how good rapture is as a story device :)
so like. both literally and metaphorically, it puts immense pressure on you. literally because you are under the ocean and theres lots of pressure, and metaphocially because it is breaking. tunnels collapse and cave in and pipes explode and it puts pressure on you to get out as soon as possible, which is hopefully very soon. although it may not be a sentient being with thought ane want, it certainly is working against you, blocking your path and constantly putting you in mortal danger.
in doing this, it takes power out of your hands, makes you subject to its whims, whatever they may be at any time. which is what is happening to jack with atlas. jack has no choices in his journey, other than to save or harvest the sisters, and even then it is by the grace of tenenbaum having been in the room with the first. if not for her, you never would have had a choice. jack is subjected to whatever atlas wants him to do and has no choice in wether or not he does it.
meanwhile columbia..... its there. its in the sky and of course it can be dangerous, people could fall off the ledge or take too long to step on a moving platform but for the most part in what i remember it generally works to your advantage. but its not as alive as rapture is
AHHH IM EATING THIS YES!! YES TO ALL OF THIS!
rapture is a city that wants to both keep you out and crush you under its own enormity. jack was always supposed to go to rapture—he was literally made for the part—like booker is always supposed to go to columbia.
but the difference between their companions—tenenbaum and the luteuces—is that tenenbaum wants to show jack he can be something else, that he can choose to be something else. while the luteuces only aim to show booker what he is, was, and will be. will be—there's no could be about it.
and while columbia is as alive and rich as a bent nail, i think the fact that it works to booker's advantage most of the time is part of that theme. like it's always going to be leading him to a preordained situation, because it's happened before (and is happening and will be happening, etc).
columbia had the potential to be reflective of booker's internal problems (the fact that vigors are something you can drink, the racism, etc) but it kind of just feels like a halfway point.
like you said, rapture is very heavy literally and metaphorically. you/jack can feel the weight of what had happened to its people. columbia is flimsy in comparison; you're free to go wherever you like and to do whatever you want, and the people around you won't care. the game says not every encounter has to be a fight, but that doesn't really matter in the long run, does it? there's only ever two or three moments where you have the choice not to fight. every other time you must
we barely get any hints as to how columbians feel about their own city! we don't know if they're happy with where they are, if they have grievances, if they even complain.
you could chalk it up to them all being completely brainwashed by comstock, but ryan literally did the same?? and rapture fell out from under him?? but even as columbia falls, not a single person who isn't a main character has anything to say about it. the most we ever get are things happening in the background, things you could easily skip over.

I remember literally sighing when they announced Marooner's being added. Most boring map or rip out your tentacles annoying and it depends solely on whether or not the rotation is good because you can have the best squad and still struggle to get to wave 3, just to wipe out. If any map needed a rework from the series it's dumpster Bay.
Please dump more of your thoughts on Marooner's, it's so bad.
🏭
GRAHHHHH I HAVE . so many thoughts on so many of the maps in splatoon 3 i really really do but marooners is like my nemesis im like sat in my big fluffy flowy night robe with a cigarette holder and staring off into the dark menacingly thinking about it you don't understand just how deep my feelings about this map go .
marooners bay is IRRITATINGLY big and has so many unclimable walls. oh?? you wanna get to the basket in tornado?? well you better hope that your teammates are all on the exact same page and are the wellest of well oiled machines because if someone isn't A) getting eggs to the propeller B) splatting snatchers C) defending themselves / not getting fucking flattened by cohocks falling from the sky AND D) putting eggs into the basket efficiently then uhh woops !!! THAT'S A WRAP BAYBEE!!!!!!!!!!! WAHOO!!! GO TO PART TIMER.
you have to hope and pray that nobody cuts you off from the propeller because you probably (if we're talking higher rank playing here) won't have the time to aim and throw a golden egg up near the basket because some lesser salmonids are breathing down your neck. ORRRR you can go to the like ramp area near the back of the map and get flattened by a scrapper because everyone else is getting swarmed / far away. like i know this is an issue with just teammates but. this map is absolutely unplayable if you're doing freelance. if your teammates aren't aware of what bosses they can lure you're going to be stuck dying, being revived for 3 seconds and then dying again.
also the grates are bullshit like. oh my god they're so fucking STUPIDDDDDD . like that whole gap there between the rest of the upper area and the basket is soooo dumb. the only purpose it has is allowing people to move from one side of the map to the other quickly on mid/low tide i guess but. why even have it be like that. why should i have to use this little alleyway to get to the other side of the map when this just . isn't really a thing on other maps (ex. sockeye station) . the only other example of this i can think of is like. gone fission but that map is small and open enough that that isn't a huge issue?? at least in gone fission i can swim up a wall but nooo i have to walk the borders of texas just to get to the basket . anway back to the gap itself. its dumb as fuck. YES maps tend to have some kind of obstacle / thing going on around the basket!! (ex. sockeye stations basket is on a slightly raised platform, spawning grounds has a sort of wall by it) BUT THOSE ARE HELPFUL AND SURVIVABLE!!! AT LEAST IF I FUCK UP ON GETTING ONTO SOCKETES LEDGE ON HGIH TIDE I DONT IMMEDIATELY DIE!!! DO YOU KNOW HOW HUMILIATING IT IS TO KEEP TRYING TO SWIM TO THE BASKET BECAUSE I CANT OUTWALK A BOSS AND THEN FALLING INTO THE SEAS BECAUSE I THOUGHT MAP DESIGN WAS KIND AND LOVING!!! BUT NO!!!!
this rant has gotten so long that my food got here before i finished my thoughts on this map.
i have kind of lost my mind abt this so my points are a little scrambled up here but UGHHHH i hate this map. i desperately want it to be reworked so its smaller and less discombobulated because right now it feels like a frankenstein of a map that's not fun to play

Heyyyyy...
So, the slingshot idea didn't work out. Instead of shooting me up into the sky, it launched me from my little ledge directly into the ground. Talk about a killer nosebleed.
Sorry I took so long to write this time! Tending to your own injuries is surprisingly difficult with moon-level gravity. Especially with absolutely zero knowledge of how to do it in the first place. Who woulda thought?? But I missed you a lot. I hope you're making the most of your little home away from home.
I saw your new haircut, by the way. My god, it must've hurt when you fell from heaven. Wink >;)))
I love you!! ~ V
Ps. Operation replace-every-seal-at-seaworld-with-your-father is a go. I have my men on it pronto.
Pps. That MAYYY mean they have to house the seals at your place for a bit. Hope that's ok!!
OMFG U NOSEBLEED😭 ARE YOU OKAY??? that sounds extremely painful😭😭😭 u should rest for a bit
i am very happy here but i think i might be going back home to my dad today or tomorrow maybe 😞😞😞 my god mother said i might come back around Christmas so I can experience a Christmas morning with them so that's rlly exciting to me 😭😭😭
JAHSSJJS😭😭😭 MY HAIRCUT IM SO HAPPY ABT IT LMAO
wink!!!
Nala is staring at me rn (their dog) 😭😭😭 its so cute
I hope u get off the moon soon
also i am fine w seals 💪💪💪

just watched the ending of the second season of rebels and here's the thots that are now in my mind in no particular order:
kanan called maul grandpa
mauls cane saber that he rips apart to be dramatic
how long was maul there before the jedi-ish arrived ? like did he have to wait for them im assuming he had some force vision or w/e that told him both abt the temple/weapon and ezra but like.... was he living there or ?
grandpa maul
what do u think maul and asohka talked abt on their turn in the lift lol ???? like for pacing reasons we dont need to kno and she was probably curt w him obviously but what did he saayyyy killing me
mauls earring gets me everytime like i know its there i can see it i am looking RESPECTFULLY
gpa maul
mauls pls help me im old~ voice is really funny to me
the inquisitors using their sabers to fly is already funny but the helicopter noise the blades made was soo fucking funny smdvkdb
like i know that this was a tragedy for asohka and kanan and ezra and mauls entire life is a tragedy and vader and the inquisitors also did not have a good time there but these episodes made me laugh so much and thats why its a comedy now
maul assigned grandpa at the kanan
ezra just has an evil holocron now i guess ???
asohka fucking DIED and we didnt even get to see the fight im literally so mad like i love violence let me see it 😤
they just pushed maul over the edge
like begone away from the plot
u red and angery grandpa
how tired of being pushed off of things do you think maul is at this point? do u think he'll develop a fear of hights ? much to think abt
what do u think maul was doing after he got thrown off the temple tho like obviously he was unconscious or he wouldve rematerialized on the ledge he was thrown off like a video games character if he wasnt but like do u think he was like *spongebob voice* "oh well. back to the dump. to the dump to the dump to the dump dump dump..." or if he just laid there for a minute
"my apprentice" yeah your apprentice, maul. "your" apprentice is a little RAT boy who's worse at being bad than he is at being good, maul. -_- typical.
"hey ezra whos the red crazy guy ?" "oh thats my grandpa"
mauls genuine excitement when he said "we're on the same side now :)" hskdhdkbdkdbd baby no
do u think at any point one of the writers were like "how do we show like via visual metaphor ezra's-and therefor any padawan's- struggle not to fall to the darkside?" and mr filoni's eyes started glowing as he responded "i know a guy"
its ~grandpa maul~
i wonder who vader was expecting to find at this sith temple tho like did he have any idea
did maul know either?? probably not. i bet he was kinda excited to see lady tano like "bitch u survived too :D!!"
the sith baking "u need two to pass" in everything in the temple is also funny to me like. they really would rip themselves apart as a group otherwise dndjdmd go off with that
maul just. blinding kanan. oOh (gay ooh) hes fucken blind now brugh. he did That.
im pretty mad that they didnt cut to maul's reaction to being called grandpa tho like did he think abt that at all, did he call ezra his apprentice because kanan used a familial term or was it more like he started doing the math like oh maybe i am about that age wait did he ever have sex before the bisection like did he have the time did ol' palpy let him or give him The Talk like obviously everyone in star wars is a virgin like hera and kanan havent even kissed yet wtf- except maybe hondo but like if maul ever DID find himself in that situation..................... oh my god he COULD be a grandpa.................
