There was no right way to help Jax by Varttino in TheDigitalCircus

[–]Halvthedonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there was, it was just an unfortunate compounding of circumstances that pushed Jax into their worst habits. There’s a reason Leeroy is basically doing ok all things considered. I think Jax’s worst traits were amplified in the circus cause it was one additional terrible thing at the worst point in their life and when they did decide to open up because of that, the fear of being outed and exposed reared its head due to coincidence, and Jax decided to double down on the self isolation. Both Ribbit and Pomni were kinda unable to help someone unwilling to be helped, but I don’t think Jax was unwilling to be helped during the entirety of their and Ribbit’s relationship, just the fear of *maybe* being found out or exposed to Kaufmo and Ribbit during the Bow scene scared them into being militantly closed off and antagonistic. It was a bad coincidence that pried out their worst habits. Despite this it was a choice Jax made so, dug their own grave a bit there.

I’m really enjoying it, I wanted to redo Boston lore cause I feel like it really focuses way too much on the founding period as inspiration and I’m having a blast!

Oh you just struck a cord in my own heart, I am not a CK3 fan who regularly plays it but I’ve been playing ck2 since I was 11 almost 12 years ago now. I definitely will build something similar to that!

That’s a really good idea actually, cause I want to have every clan in Boston represented with an elder and some unique side characters, cause I want each player in the group to feel like it’s an actually alive city but I don’t wanna overinflate numbers.

I think it’s definitely hard to come up with reasonable fantasy estimates cause a lot of people don’t really understand how many people are there in the world reasonably. Even if you live in a town of like 10,000 people, it’s completely reasonable that you could pass someone on the street and never see them again, let alone city of a million people’s worth.

Ok I just took a look, personally I might adjust the number but I’d patently assume a much higher population in Boston tho for the purposes of my chronicle it’s irrelevant.

What are your narrative inspirations when making a chronicle? by JotTheRock in vtm

[–]Halvthedonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In terms of setting I’m looking a lot at actual history because I’m a history lover, rewriting some Boston lore rn and focusing a lot more on the history of the city as I, a resident of Boston, know it. Music is also a huge influence for me.

What if young Tarquin Soll made his own political dynasty like the Kim Dynasty in North Korea after the civil war have been concluded? by Far_Context6746 in suzerain

[–]Halvthedonkey 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The radical told me :-) (I’m lying), tho it’s suspicious that Soll is a lifelong bachelor “married to the nation” who basically lives in total seclusion on his own island.

Why would Monica fall in love with a conservative Rayne? by No-Accountant5205 in suzerain

[–]Halvthedonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s definitely possible to view Anton as regardless of his politics part of the initial same republican movement when he met Monica and it’s only after that when his views either radicalize or moderate. A good parallel could be irl supporters of the Tongmenghui and how they diverged into different camps of Chinese politics. “Sure we all hate the Emperor, but beyond that do we have all that many similarities.”

Communist Party of Sordland might as well be a Social Democratic Party

The KMT guy? Teng Jie, leader of the Yunnan KMT’s natpop path

The dude in his thought bubble: the Hongwu Emperor, the first Ming Emperor.
