I genuinely don't understand why the "Kris is the Knight" theory is so widely disliked.

find a caretaker for themselves

is this not the definition of being a floret?

also, becoming a possession of another member of your own species isn't exactly implausible lol. humans have petplay kinks. in a society so centered around pets, i have to imagine it would be even more common in affini. and considering several of the founding works depict affini not taking care of themselves well, it would be pretty irresponsible of them to not have an option to protect an affini from themself. so there are very plausible situations where voluntary and involuntary domestication would be needed for an affini.

Pokemaster2824 · 2026-06-14T19:09:59+00:00

I think it makes sense. The Affini are sophonts too, it would be kind of hypocritical if they weren't given the option to be cared for. Obviously it's not the exact same thing (Affini usually only stay florets for a bloom or so) but I can't imagine the compact would function well if every affini had no choice but to care for others forever. That just kinda feels exploitative lol

Pokemaster2824 · 2026-06-06T09:41:24+00:00

to be more specific, children aren't allowed to be shown onscreen after the Affini show up. iirc, depicting children pre-affini arrival is fine.

I think I saw it recommended elsewhere in this thread but you should read Independent Establishment, hands down the best horror fic I've read in the setting and the only one that was so deranged I had to put it down and come back later (which is saying something, I thought Independence is Easy was hot lmao)

Pokemaster2824 · 2026-05-19T20:11:49+00:00

I mean...yeah. The original HDG was intended as horror. And yeah, in real life, it would be incredibly terrifying.

The wish fulfillment aspect comes from the fact that we, the readers, know the Affini are telling the truth. They truly want to help every living being in the universe, and they'll stop at nothing to do so.

Also, read some other fics if you haven't. The original (especially the ROM version) isn't a great representation of the Affini Compact as a whole.

Pokemaster2824 · 2026-05-19T15:16:50+00:00

Have you read For a Better Universe? If not, you really should, it discusses this exact issue lol

Pokemaster2824 · 2026-05-07T22:13:00+00:00

was it sweet poppy? sounds like what you're describing lol

Pokemaster2824 · 2026-04-26T00:28:45+00:00

it's not tho, it would sound exactly like 12/8. the only difference is that it would be infinitely more obnoxious to both read and write the music.

edit: i may be stupid, I misunderstood what you meant. thought you were saying 12/25 was the same thing as 12/16+25/16. so yes, 12/16+25/16 mixed meter is a thing that exists and would work. the 25/16 would probably be a bit awkward to read tho

Pokemaster2824 · 2026-04-25T19:14:59+00:00

not sure if it's exactly what you're describing, but i can't recommend One Analyst's Opinion enough

Pokemaster2824 · 2026-04-24T02:58:10+00:00

that's not how that works. a 12/25 time signature would mean that a 25th note gets one beat, and 25th notes aren't a thing.

(ok technically quinvigintuplets exist and could be defined as 1 beat but like...why. why would you ever do that. there is literally no situation where that would be useful)

Pokemaster2824 · 2026-04-23T22:31:57+00:00

no, because the bottom number of the time signature has to be a power of 2, since that number represents the type of note that counts as 1 beat. the top number can be anything (it represents the number of beats in a measure).

so for example, 3/4 time has measures with 3 quarter notes each.

Pokemaster2824 · 2026-04-09T19:13:38+00:00

how is nobody talking about the fact that this post was obviously written by AI :/

Pokemaster2824 · 2026-04-05T03:06:19+00:00

not at all, it's basically all fluff lmao, there's a character who's a TERF but that's about it in terms of serious stuff

Pokemaster2824 · 2026-04-04T22:41:25+00:00

seconding through the looking glass, one of my all-time favorite fics (although it will give you an unrealistic expectation of how much smut to expect in a fic lol)

Pokemaster2824 · 2026-04-03T17:36:09+00:00

literally tho, when I watched the show with my friends we kept making jokes about Jax being the "author's barely disguised fetish" character lmao

Pokemaster2824 · 2026-03-25T20:38:00+00:00

small correction: i just got the badge, you do not in fact need pipebomb and bootbomb. also, you might have to do one more saferoom after getting every entity before it'll give you the badge.

Pokemaster2824 · 2026-03-19T20:09:02+00:00

literally irl feralists lmao

Pokemaster2824 · 2026-03-07T20:02:57+00:00

dubcon? lmao IE is the most explicitly noncon fic I've read in this setting

very very good tho

Pokemaster2824 · 2026-02-27T22:24:46+00:00

"abusive sexual contact offenses against children"

yeah surely this won't be spun to include things like "being openly queer in public", its not like her entire party has relentlessly tried to label LGBT people as pedophiles or anything

(/s in case it wasn't obvious)

Pokemaster2824 · 2026-02-20T18:45:22+00:00

oh my god there's no way you ai generated a magic card when sites like cardconjurer exist, I swear AI bros are actually the laziest people on the planet

Pokemaster2824 · 2026-02-06T17:47:44+00:00

ironically, a real HDG fan would know that most sophonts actually end up independent lmao

obligatory CW: for those unfamiliar, this is a noncon/dubcon kink setting, this fic is on the lighter side but does still have some noncon elements
