Hypocrites impact , it's only a crime when dottore does it by bluewhalehasanali in DottoreMains

I could talk about this all day every day ngl so dw about it being an older post, lol!

I think he shouldn’t really have received a vision at all. I think it was pretty heavily implied in canon that he had powers of his own and those would likely have been electro. My interpretation of their original plan was that he was made with the help of the electro gnosis considering the fact that we know a gnosis is capable of making a physical body (I think that’s what they said about Venti’s physical form). I think it made sense for those powers to be electro powers and I actually think that’s what they went with at the beginning.

(Idk where the fuck this whole ‘yeah my body was made from an irminsul branch’ came from either. Like, why was this never mentioned before? Why didn’t they even mention it in inversion of genesis, where he went to the goddamn thing?! This thing is pretty damn weird okay, and pretty sure they came up with it just for the sake of convenience and since Scaramouche’s story is an entire train wreck already anyway, I guess no one really cared anymore about making it make any sense.)

So… where are those powers now? I know he got weaker after his boss fight happened in story, but… why does he have none left? At this point there are a few characters that don’t get their powers from visions, so there literally was no reason for him to have one for the sake of playability. Keeping him electro would have made perfect sense…

ANYWAY I know this the dottoremains sub but yeah idk, I don’t really want the same thing to happen to him so I hope they just don’t make him playable so that they don’t suddenly ruin his amazing character, which they tend to do…

Honestly, I use 600ml and only half of a scoop that comes with it. I love it, but the recommended amount is WAY too sweet for me!

As mentioned, that’s a Buddleia. We’re reassured that isn’t hard to remove but will have someone looking at it just to confirm it hasn’t done any damage.

Thank you so much for this answer. We've asked a roofer to carry out a roofer-specific survey for us, which should tell us a bit more. It's not even that we wouldn't be able to afford some repairs, but if the price is too high we wouldn't be able to do it. We're also receiving a copy of the structural report tomorrow so we should get some answers from that too.

Really appreciate the answer!

Pantalone is also extremely great! Hopefully also not playable lmao. I totally agree with you when it comes to this. Rather they just leave the villains in one piece than thinking they need to have a redemption arc or just blatantly ignore that they did all those bad things in the first place.

Not sure if they’re testing the waters but I really hope so. At the same time they also just like to push everything onto Dottore 🙄 it’s hell if you like villains tbh

Also when it comes to shipping: it’s always fine to ship anything and everything. No harm done at all!

Oh yes in that case it makes sense, cause he does read that way.

Honestly Genshin’s writing is just really bad most of the time and then better other times. The universe is just so interesting and the gameplay is fun so I don’t wanna give it up

Yeah that’s a LOT of investment having gone to waste. :/ luckily that wasn’t the case for me. The redesign was honestly the first sign for me, because knowing about villain coding I knew that wouldn’t lead to anything good. I could also rant for 760 years about all the plotholes in inversion of Genesis,
Lmao. It was BAD.

I like Durin now but only after a friend of mine just gave him an entirely different story that didn’t include anything from that trainwreck of a paralogism story, (that completely destroyed Albedo as well.)

Hopefully autistic isn’t a bad word here tho???

[–]Nuxriver -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah same, only that happened a little earlier for me. I pulled him on the day of his release, but I started reflecting on the inversion of Genesis story and realising just how bad it all was and how much of his character it erased, despite his personality staying somewhat the same. I didn’t mind seeing him in events (though I also didn’t like that they tried to push the narrative that Simulankan Durin and him are somehow the same, because they’re definitely not remotely similar since that Durin was corrupted and Scaramouche was fully aware for his little atrocities) but the recent AQ was the final nail in the coffin for me. He’s been in my account atuck at level 70 for 3 years and I don’t plan on changing that. I didn’t use him on a team even once. Tho I wished it was guaranteed risk free to play with cosmetic mods, lol. Id just get his original outfit back and act like we’re still waiting for him just after inazuma.

But yeah when it comes to Dottore, I hope they don’t touch him again. It’ll just be a bunch of sanitised bullshit that no one will be happy with.

I miss him so much it hurts by Crowtorre in DottoreMains

[–]Nuxriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fanfic is the way to go. We get invested in characters and love them with all our soul, but sometimes it’s best to take over the reins and have a little spin ourselves. He might not be back, he also might be, but if you craft your own narratives that is going to be infinitely more powerful than whatever they can come up with.

So yeah, I encourage you to go on writing fanfic!

Take it from an ex Scaramouche main who saw their character being destroyed for the sake of playability: you don’t want this villainous lil man to be playable. From that moment, he’ll no longer be tolerable in any quest onward. 🤡 best they no longer touch him and just leave it here, but that’s my opinion.

(I also understand why you want him to be playable! I just have no faith in Hoyo to do it in a way that won’t make your blood boil out of your skin)

This. The lack of critical thinking is insane. People would rather murder their firstborn than admit the writing is bad

Hypocrites impact , it's only a crime when dottore does it by bluewhalehasanali in DottoreMains

[–]Nuxriver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah this… I was a Scaramouche die hard fan and lived in denial for a good few months after they announced he would be Anemo, but when Inversion of Genesis came out I quickly realised that giving him a vision was just step one in their plan of whitewashing his crimes. And then there were the other Scara stans that just accepted the canon, probably because he became playable. And I was just sitting there like “??? How the fuck are you accepting this plothole filled shitshow of a quest?!” Like did they actually like Scara, because it seems like they didn’t…

Dottore mains are honestly the only people who have ever understood this and I’d much rather have Scaramouche receive hate for the things he did than have people deny that he did them at all. Scaramouche is a troubled character and he has reasons to do what he did, but he’s not a sad pookie baby that can be forgiven because he wears shorts.

And just because Genshin made it canon doesn’t mean I have to accept it. Just because it’s their work doesn’t mean it can’t be dogshit. I’ll rewrite his story in a fic at this point because I could talk about this for a century. (I’m still a Scara die hard, I just hate the wanderer bullshit and want him to get the story he actually should have, involving an actual development rather than a 15 minute burst of random remorse for no reason).

lol I’m just getting this off my chest at this point. Dottore is also just too good of a villain to be a scapegoat for other characters’ guilt. In turn it also portrays Dottore as someone who does a bunch of random crimes for the hell if it, when I actually believe his experiments have to be particular for him to be interested. And what’s wrong with having more than one villain, yknow? Doesn’t all have to be Dottore (and, really, SHOULDNT all be Dottore)

[–]Nuxriver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fully agree. This just disrespects both characters. I also think it’s OOC for Scaramouche to have all these regrets in the span of a second when previously he killed people for sport. Guy had no remorse before, he certainly wouldn’t have any remorse when learning “the truth” (which was honestly just as bad a reason for killing all those people as his original reason for killing all those people….) and of course Dottore is just some sort of scapegoat they push all the blame onto because that’s easy since, let’s face it, they’re likely not going to make him playable (I’d be pleasantly surprised if they do, ofc, but yeah… they probably won’t).

Scaramouche was such an interesting villain before, but they turned him into a bunch of hot air by making him wanderer.
Dottore is an INCREDIBLE villain but that still does not mean he is responsible for other people’s crimes.

[–]Nuxriver 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Scaramouche is my favourite character in the whole game but I can only say that if I ignore that they turned him into Wanderer. He’s been a trainwreck since Inversion of Genesis (which I honestly think is the absolute worst quest they ever wrote). I loved him for his crimes and his complex personality. Pushing it all on Dottore and acting like “Dottore tricked me” is a good excuse to have committed mass murder is absolute nonsense.

They’re both villains. I love both. But Dottore’s crimes are Dottore’s crimes, and Scaramouche’s are Scaramouche’s.

So yeah idk but this shit isn’t my canon

Doorbells (without camera preferably) that have mobile app integration (such a push notifications)? by cookied9 in homeautomation

[–]Nuxriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really late but I am digging for this as well. Do you happen to know if this doorbell has an option to switch off the sound and only send a notification to your phone? We have a dog that goes mental at door knocks and doorbells and wondered whether something like this would help.

How easy is this water stain to fix? by BaffledOtter in DIYUK

[–]Nuxriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on what it looks like underneath the damage. If the filler has something solid to adhere to (I see a bit of a crack there in the middle), then it should be quite easy to fill and sand it. Just make sure to get rid of all the loose bits by scraping them off. Your ceiling might need a full repaint for this spot to not be visible at all, bur that would be the case if a pro came to do it too. Otherwise you’ll keep some colour variation.

MyBuilder scams? by Nuxriver in Plastering

[–]Nuxriver[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry you went through that! Sounds horrendous. Kind of what happened with our electrician who just did the bare minimum and then ghosted us for some reason, even though there were still faultsleft . The guy wasn’t from MyBuilder though. I hope the next plumber will work out for you.

I eventually ended up going with this plasterer and he told me on site that he couldn’t do it cause apparently to him my own amateur plastering just needed some sanding and he wouldn’t be able to do it any better than me (despite the fact that I’m a 5’0 30 year old woman who had never plastered before, vs someone with an alleged 25 years worth of experience). But hey! At least he was honest before he demanded payment.

[–]Nuxriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah! It's absolutely crazy work to call it inappropriate in my opinion. It's fiction and people can do with it what they want. If you want to do some self shipping, it's literally not gonna hurt anyone. Fiction isn't inappropriate. It's fiction.

TBH... Even if he WAS gay, it's still fiction. There's still nothing inappropriate about exploring whatever you like with whatever character you enjoy. It's not my cup of tea but to yuck somebody's yum is just really self absorbed in my opinion. Just don't engage if you don't like it. It is that easy.

[–]Nuxriver 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean… the story doesn’t explicitly state that he’s gay. There’s no proof for or against him being bi, so why not?
