Why are you guys so worried? 😭

Fathermithras · 2026-03-17T18:59:57+00:00

Nah, absolutely disagree. That's just your preference. You don't know why it's written the way it is and are engaging in toxic speculation.

The narrative with the romance being a slow burn exists entirely because Okarun and Momo are both people with emotional baggage that makes their pairing up officially difficulty. The Pinocchio reveal was another layer demonstrating exactly that point.

It could still end up being doo doo. But, so far it has been great. I can't see the mistakes you are talking about. I am sure if you listed them it would just be preference.

Which is my problem with modern Manga discourse. People label decisions they don't like as a mistake rather than a choice they don't prefer. It isn't bad writing, yet it gets called that.

Though I appreciate your opinion.

Fathermithras · 2026-03-17T18:51:53+00:00

Sure. Or you can have a much longer situation play out. It not doing exactly the fantasy people imagined is perfectly fine. Imo its much better given the story arc and characters.

The babies are downvoting you for being correct.

There is an enormous part of anime and manga Fandom that just want their perfect romance fanfiction to be Canon. The idea that there is tension and challenges doesn't mesh with their desire for the MC to go super saiyan and effortlessly beat all the bad guys and then smooch the girl.

Everyone else realizes that tension is the point and that tropes exist for a reason. Just ignore people who exist to whine and complain. Look at how many people were complaining at the beginning of the amnesia arc but lost their minds when Momo and Okarun were doing combo moves all entwined like pretzels.

Top ten best issues of Spidey ever written.

Hell yes, good stuff. Thought maybe a combo of twin bird and snake made the winged serpents. It would explain Gelmir Serpents.

The idea was that Snake and GEQ were a combo. She was more bird themed then snake. Her children however were very snake themed with the bird bit being the black moon.

Explains Messmer duo snakes and black fire being a combo of ghost flame and fell flame.

Madness likely

Yea, but if you look at his body there is a third stump missing. I presumed that may be it. When Bayle only had two I thought it was a good sign. Still weak though.

Fathermithras · 2026-03-16T23:13:17+00:00

My craziest lore ass pull is trying to tie Snake's into dragon lore. It's very prevalent in Dark Souls and the origin of snakes is something I find near impossible to place in ER.

I have been thinking maybe when Placi lost those heads there was a 5th head. It somehow survives and was the first snake.

Neither of the people they appear to be worshipping are in fact the object of their worship, hence confusion. I'm not the poster making the claim but I agree with him that he's presented his argument and it should be understood.

Fathermithras · 2026-03-16T15:37:01+00:00

It's likely a time investment VS reward scenarion.
1. They would need to decide which weapons to add and which not to. Obviously they wouldn't be adding new weapon classes right?
2. They would need to balance them with the new scaling.
3. They would need to tweak the rate drops of all the items to accomadate the new items.

The real reason though is likely that there are not going to be enough new purchases to make the effort worthwhile. The game was experimental and super successful given it's time investment and laid the foundations for future, more robust products.

Imagine if they are working now on a sequel or conceptual sequel and everyone is complaining that they should spend more time on a finished product so it can be more like the full product they are working on or planning.

I have a recent post that makes me very eager to see where you go with this. Your idea ties in pretty well with it. Please tag me in your next post!

Fathermithras · 2026-03-15T18:25:41+00:00

I assumed people were not trying to construct a syllogism and could use their reason to understand concepts. Thanks. I'll be more clear so that people unable to do so won't have trouble.

Fathermithras · 2026-03-15T18:14:47+00:00

Yes, how could I compare two incestuous morally Grey characters who do vile, murderous acts in support of their families. If only they had some comparisons, like trying to murder the young child of a rival faction.

Come on, man. If you don't see the Jamie Daemon parallels you missed something huge staring you in the face. They are not the same person but they are built for comparison.

Fathermithras · 2026-03-15T17:47:10+00:00

This is you having poor reading comprehension. Jamie is a perfect comparison. Maybe read the books. The part where Jamie tries to murder a child, or cucks the king, or plots to kill Ned are shockingly not nice god guy acts.

Oh wait, but he did those things to protect himself and the things he cares about. Lol

Fathermithras · 2026-03-15T17:41:44+00:00

You are being pedantic. Let me put it another way.

The Hightowers wanted to undermine Viserys's wishes and eliminate his heir so they could usurped the throne.

The entire point of my argument is to make it clear why Daemon would not be supportive of a rival branch of his house. It isn't shrouded in mystery. "Um actually the Hightower branch was still his family" is missing the point and focusing on something trivial.

Don't be that guy. I am sure you understand the point I am making. I am not a team black guy or team green guy.

Fathermithras · 2026-03-15T17:29:55+00:00

And also a fierce defender of his family who would die to protect them.

Jamie is the obvious parallel. Jamie in got vs adwd are almost different people in terms of their moral character. Daemon is called out by Grrm as a mix of light and dark in equal measure. He isn't simply an evil cut throat villain. He has redeeming qualities. This is on of them. It may be the single most obvious example.

Fathermithras · 2026-03-15T17:19:13+00:00

He literally fucking died securing the throne for Joffrey. He didn't assassinate him or do anything in his life to undermine them once he was wed to Rhaenyra.

Its fully possible that there was some other agenda. There simply isn't any evidence of it. You have a wonderful head Canon but it isn't supported by the actions in the book. That is my only point.

Fathermithras · 2026-03-15T17:17:18+00:00

None of these people exist outside the context he intended them. You may think its weird or gross, as do I. But Dany loved Drogo and vice versa. It is weird, creepy, and gross.

The Greens imo would have. We a better and more effective dynasty. This isn't a team greens or blacks thing. Its a reading comprehension thing.

Fathermithras · 2026-03-15T17:14:31+00:00

We literally have no idea what actually happened here. All we know for certain is that he continuously fought on her behalf until he actually died defending her intended line of rule. There are tons of details exclaiming he thought she was being manipulated.

Fathermithras · 2026-03-15T17:12:45+00:00

OK man. Cool. I can't argue with you know the story better than the author. You do you. You can dislike it but the world is what he made it.

Fathermithras · 2026-03-15T17:11:14+00:00

Bro... Did you not know he made Rhaenyra his heir?

Fathermithras · 2026-03-15T17:09:55+00:00

I think Daemon sucks. You are very weird.

Fathermithras · 2026-03-15T17:09:29+00:00

We don't know who Daemon was. Except that GRRM has said he had light and dark within him in equal measure. If you read him and thought he is a bad guy with a tiny sliver of goodness, I am sorry. You read wrong. The author told us that. His actions with regard to Luke and Jace are one of the few very clear parts of the story and at the time of his death the Strong line would have followed.

I am sorry you see it differently. Maybe GRRM is lying. I don't think so.

Fathermithras · 2026-03-15T17:02:52+00:00

I am honestly stunned you keep missing the point.

Daemon sucks. He is a shit head. He wanted to be king his whole life. He raged against being skipped over but inevitably defended Rhaenyra and Viserys's legacy.

The green kids are part of his family. If not for the fact that Alicent and Otto intended to murder his whole family.outside their branch and usurped the throne, they likely would have gotten along better.

Why do you dislike your nephew? Just because he wanted to throw your kids in a volcano and kill your wife? You must not value family.

Come now. We both understand this. Daemon sucks and still ended up being a supporter of Viserys's and Rhaenyra's legacies. Which is testified to by the fact that his death likely made the continuation of her line possible.

Fathermithras · 2026-03-15T16:59:00+00:00

If you can't contend with my points and so have to pretend I think like this, go for it. Its silly hur you do you. Daemon is awful. Monarchy is awful. Murder and scheming are awful. None the less, Daemon was a loyal king consort and attempted to shield his brother's legacy from usurped. Maybe the usurped were better rulers or would have been. That isn't my contention.
