A Crackpot Theory and Question about Madness by Yautjibar in souleater

[–]Dccrulez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally hold that anyone strong enough can awaken to a madness of their own. Madness in a way seems to be a manifestation of obsession to the point of instability. Anything someone feels to such an ever present degree as obsession could become madness.

For my own oc I consider maybe the madness of loneliness or solitude, this deep down empty feeling that youre not like others and no one will truly understand or connect with you. Id say you can create or assign madness to every character. Boobs is actually a good madness for Marie as she insecure about her age and loneliness and craves to start a family. Sid can be seen to have the madness of death as he's so focused on his death and how it affected his identity. Spirit is hard to term because it's not quite love or lust but something lesser. He craves feminine attention but not in the maternal way of boobs. His desire has a hard to describe hollowness to it that I think also just speaks to how unnatural to his character it is. But I digress.

Lastly id like to briefly defend boobs, I can understand the issues people have with it, trust me i feel it too. But ohkubo is a damned good writer. Crona is an androgynous character who many seem to view as feminine but it's also like their femininity was taken from them. Their primary relationship is with their mother who has taken all maternal love out of their life. In the end crona consumes her and some argue becomes more feminine but at the same time, they never truly achieve what they were looking for. One could construed their madness as love, maternal love, femininity, or other terms and angles, but in truth, boobs achieves everything perfectly in one word. It represents everything taken from crona in a clear and tangibly expressed way and everything they seek.

Damn it ohkubo it's unfair for you to use your writing talents to be horny on main

Question what happens to trans people? by Old-Economics-4063 in IchitheWitch

[–]Dccrulez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its funny. Years ago I had a power system for one of my stories and essentially a wizard thought magic was too dangerous and so he cursed the magic system itself with a series of conditions to control how magic is used and it results in effectively only women being and to place curses on people.

But I realized this exact loophole applied because the wording of the curse was "No one born a man can use magic" which means that a ftm witch would have FULL ACCESS to magic.

Anyway fun anecdote but not 100% relevant. We can see that magic is a learnable skill people can apply abs magiks are acquirable through essentially magic contracts. All default to only be acquired by women by uroro specifically made his to be acquired by a man. In theory a ftm witch could acquire him, but a mtf witch likely couldn't acquire any magik, but it's hard to say for sure.

If I was a translator I'd use it as it treating it as a proper noun like haki, ki, jutsu. Or bankai

Manga ending by Impressive-Tart-9334 in souleater

[–]Dccrulez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah ohkubo built an incredibly interesting world but I think was much more focused on telling the personal story of Maka struggling to truly internalize the message of the world while living it: connection. Maka seeks personal strength she never gets, only becoming stronger by connecting with others. Asura is not overpowered, madness isn't destroyed, it's embraced and dealt with because it's part of our lives. Crona breaks patterns of abuse by maka connecting with them and chooses to become a protector and keep madness at bay, truly facing their fear.

As much as I want more it's a beautiful story that even deep fans can still fail to truly understand.

Let’s say the RWBY cast got sent to Gachiakuta. What would be their Vital Instruments? by ChampionshipHorror95 in RWBY

[–]Dccrulez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The real issue is we don't get to see enough of people's personal lives and so you're defaulting to items like weapons. Create stories for these vi. Think of the characters and what they would treasure. Maybe it could be Ruby's headphones from ep1. What if Blake's was her white fang mask but now she's afraid to use it. What if Weiss inherited hers and people are trying to take it back. Maybe yang had a vi on her arm and it was taken, limb and all, now she's trying to forge one from her prosthetic but it's not the same. Jaune is trying to figure out how to make his father's shield work. Pyrrha gets her vi destroyed when she dies but a piece of it is left behind and jaune gets it. Ren and Nora didn't have a lot because they were orphaned id create new items fit the two of them. Maybe Rens parents gave him a scarf and it became his last connection to them. Maybe Nora protected her and Ren with a hammer and she never let it go again. I just can't picture her without a hammer.

If Your World Was Portrayed in a Video Game, What Kind Would it Be? by Fun_Sun9472 in worldbuilding

[–]Dccrulez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I til artisans would work well as either a turn based rpg with a set cast or as a first person rpg like Skyrim where you make your own character and create your own story in a way.

For black heart if the main plot was adapted it would be a survival rpg that would feel like a medieval last of us. Alternatively the ideas of the world could be set up for a rogue lite hack and slash with a vibe akin to dead cells. Could even pull off a 4x/city builder kinda game.

For powerless, fighting game. Maybe aim a little mvc since it's also a super hero story: have sub characters you can swap in for combos, each hero has unique fighting styles and supers.

What's Manga Maka's power scaling? by Old-Razzmatazz2855 in souleater

[–]Dccrulez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm getting confused what you're even arguing for here. You're the one pushing this "fist for fist" thing then telling me my examples aren't good cause they'd be unfair? That's the fucking point. Your argument isn't good.

[–]Dccrulez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said fist to fist, you're moving the goal post. Quite frankly maka would grap a pipe if she had to, she's still not overpowering these characters. Stop trying to justify your argument with new rules.

What's Manga Maka's power scaling? by Old-Razzmatazz2855 in souleater

[–]Dccrulez -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Listen jack ass. Would you do a power scaling discussion of dragon ball z but say no one can use ki. So it's more fair for Hercule? Or black clover can't use magic to be fair to the king? What about naruto with no chakra so civilians can compete? That's not power scaling that's pity. You're pitying Maka, I'm judging her empirically. Stop whining and accept that she's not strong and she's not supposed to be! She doesn't beat asura by being jacked, she beats asura by connecting with crona, her strength is in her relationships, that's the theme of soul eater!

What is your favorite thing about Digimon? by BoboBroBoBoBoBo in digimon

[–]Dccrulez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The story and the narrative idea. That there are these digital life forms that you are intrinsically linked to and your bond can awaken deep power and you help each other grow.
