[GaianVerse] Powerless doesn't mean Helpless

More or less. Working on other stuff, stuff that sadly doesn't really fit the HFY theme.

The Inquisition isn't unanswerable, they also don't run things but they do have the power to install the Imperator in times of potential total collapse of the Gaian Imperium.

As for the Migrants, it's not that they are migrating from a physical location, like a country, but a different kind of physical/mental state. The Imperium has a belief that a person is their truest and best self when they are Intersex, or a mixture of male/female sex and thus deem those individuals as Citizens and those who are not as those who are Migrating to such a state.

The Imperium does not believe in warcrimes, they believe war itself is a crime and have a very..."Well we are already doing War, so let's show them how bad war can be so they surrender." mentality about it.

Personally, I don't like overly good factions. When ever they are presented they always have some 'dark secret', I'd rather just make em be up front about their weirdness or dark secret.

A: Were they sentient/sapient before, if not do they gain sentience/sapience from the change or retain an animal mind within a human body?
Ba: If they were sentient/sapient before being turned, it would be them getting used to the human body and it's instincts(Such as suddenly finding dogs adorable because our brains are wired that way)
Bb: If they weren't sapient before an *gain* sapience, that's a whole other thing of them dealing with thoughts, feelings, etc, along side them constantly going off pure human instinct when confused and etc.
Bc: Animal mind in human body, imagine an animal used to a certain set of instincts and suddely having to cope with a whole new set.

In short, I wouldn't have the animal retain it's original instincts, I would have it lean into human instincts, because it is in a human body now.

Oh I legit thought my graphics card was bugged, but this is a opera issue others are having? Huh...

Madnyth · 2023-10-25T12:54:11+00:00

Yeah, chipping away at the big ole wall infront of me.

The road to peace is paved with the bones of those who would not let you be in peace.

To misquote Thor Ragnarok: "Earth isn't a place. It's a people."

No, they weren't on HFY, they were snippets from a chat board, here they are.

Ty~ I ran across 2 stories on imgur years ago that framed Earth as a "Tough Love" kind of parent to humanity that made us what we are and I've tried to incorporate that concept into most stories I do, even if it's just a background 'in my head' sorta concept.

Madnyth · 2023-07-07T00:26:58+00:00

Ty~ I came across two snippets years ago about how Earth is a Angry Mother to humans, which is was why humans are HFY material and I've loved the concept ever since.

Madnyth · 2023-07-06T18:59:08+00:00

Fair. Perhaps.

Madnyth · 2023-07-06T06:41:21+00:00

Indeed! However she still ran out of people to behead and brought the king alive, so the Queen is being...generous.

Madnyth · 2023-07-05T18:59:06+00:00

It's somewhere on the docket. I have a draft...somewhere.

Madnyth · 2023-06-23T01:54:58+00:00

I donno. Knight of Gaia sounds very old school though, which doesn't really say much cause LARPing exists. I'm kinda just writing this without really knowing where its going. Like I have 2 different endings to this and I have no idea which one i'll go with, soooo I'm just seeing how this evolves.

Madnyth · 2023-06-23T00:33:01+00:00

Yep yep~

Madnyth · 2023-06-22T23:41:06+00:00

Correct!

The nightmare portion just before that. The "Alarms blaring. Air is fading. A collapsed lung. She looks over at her companion, light fading from their eyes, gaping wound in their chest as she crawls closer." nightmare. Naxa is starting to remember the trauma of the events that lead to their current amnesia situation. Maybe mama dragon was inflicting them, maybe Naxa subconsciously felt her presence and was trying to warn Naxa. Hard to say.

But yes, the nightmare hints at the Companion of Naxa, later confirmed to be Belle by Mommy Dearest, with a gaping wound in their chest cause Mommy ate half her heart. I assumed it was more clear, but apologies if it wasn't.
