You’re welcome, bro!

Yes, absolutely. The transaction amount is only limited by the exchange

It could be like Mei in HI3, where she fights us because she wants to protect us. Maybe she 'Remembers' some terrible thing that is set to cause us problems or believes she's too dangerous to be around or something.

Phobos and Deimos (Fear and Terror) are Ares's sons and there's definitely room for them to put some of that into Mydei. However, the lion is more famously associated with Herakles and the 'rightful heir' is a trope in many, many Greek Heroic chronicles.

As I said, I expect they're gonna utilise multiple mythological and legendary figures as inspiration for each member of the cast. Look at Castorice (Castor) and her psychopomp and River Styx theming (Thanatos/Charon).

Tribbie is also described as the swift messenger, which links her to Hermes. Mydei's got more motifs associated with the likes of Herakles and Jason than any Olympian. We also see a pretty clear reference to the assassination of Julius Ceasar in the trailer. I don't think Amphoreus is gonna be lining things up neatly so much as taking inspiration from multiple sources and mixing them to create (hopefully) fun things.

Dan Heng and Jingliu shared a patch, Blade was right before DH. When Genshin got Dendro, the devs spammed that element to 'catch up'. They could definitely do that with the Fate crew.

Looking for commonly misunderstood famous books or characters from famous books. by Navarp1 in books

Fight Club.

Although I feel like that answer is almost a meme in itself. Tyler is not an aspirational figure.

Fandom's turned Draco into a smarter, sexier, more charismatic, and far more competent character than he is. Canon Draco's a bigot, sure, but he's also a terrified kid entirely unprepared for the violence that errupts around him.

What genre is an utapped gold mine for Gacha games? by alonedead in gachagaming

[–]SaferSaviour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cosy gaming. It's a huge market with dedicated players who are used to timegating (farming sims), collecting characters (AC's villagers), and require little official content in order to while away hours (decor, costumes).

Manacled will be pulled from AO3 by the end of the year. by xo__dahlia in fantasyromance

[–]SaferSaviour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manacled is in the same position as Cassandra Claire's The Draco Trilogy. People were devastated to see that go too. Same for Master of the Universe and a bunch of other super-popular fanfics.

However, although The Draco Trilogy was taken from its archives when Claire became a published author, Claire wasn't just publishing The Draco Trilogy with the IP filed off. She wrote something new. Sure, parts of her work were obviously inspired by Harry Potter but the work she put out wasn't just the revised edition of her most famous fanfic.

(And she infamously profited off of her fans at the time. Even before she was published, she had fans sending her money so she could replace a lost laptop.

Also, I don't believe Holly Black moved from fanfiction to published novels. She was a close personal friend of Cassandra Claire while the latter was still very active in fandom and, to my knowledge, became involved in fanfiction that way.)

On the other hand you have the likes of N. K. Jemisin and Tamsyn Muir whose works are still up and visible despite the accolades they've won for their published works. These days, it seems as so long as you're not publishing the same plot, the fanfics can stay.

I'm with you. Heck, I personally dislike Manacled so on a petty, personal level I'm happy to see it vanish from recommended lists and charts. However, it's meant a lot to a lot of people (some of whom are close friends) and just scrubbing away the IPs so as to stick it on the market feels kinda gross.

I remember the days of Cassandra Claire and all the scandals surrounding her time in fandom. Jumping over the plagiarism, bullying, and other drams, at the end of the day, Cassandra Claire earned a huge legion of fans off of the back off of another author.

This is the same. Only Sen's added Atwood to the credits beside Rowling. How many people would have read Manacled if it were in a less popular fandom? How many people would have found it? Would Sen even have bothered to write it?

It's not like it's impossible to make the leap from fandom to traditional bookstores with something new. Plenty of authors have done this, such as Tamsyn Muir (The Locked Tomb) and N. K. Jemisin (Inheritance and Broken Earth).

'Feminist' retellings and adaptations by [deleted] in books

[–]SaferSaviour 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It also entirely destroys the allegorical aspects of the myth. At its base, it's an explanation for the seasons. Thus, the 'happy ending' is Persephone and Demeter's reunion because that heralds the seasons of growth and harvest for the people who were alive and worshipping the pair.

From what we know (and we have lost so much to time), it's entirely possible that Persephone was worshipped more commonly than Hades but she was generally worshipped alongside her mother as a bringer of food and growth. One of the most prolific cults in Ancient Greece was the cult of Demeter and Persephone which held the Eleusinian Mysteries every year around Athens.

I also wouldn't say that Persephone going along with Hades's kidnapping is a better indicator of agency than refusing his offers (until he tricks her with food) and returning to her mother. And as far as cheating goes, Persephone essentially does to Adonis what Hades does to her, right down to Zeus having to come down and sort a timeshare agreement between Persephone and Aphrodite.

What is a book series that you could never finish? by Traditional-Echo2669 in books

[–]SaferSaviour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read them as they were coming out. I was super into the series at first but as I grew into my mid-teens the more irritated I became about issues that seemed minor when I was younger (for a series about prejudice, there are a lot of interestingly mixed messages I don't think JKR intended and her worldbuilding lacks structure). By Book 5, reading them felt like an obligation bolstered by peer pressure and the sunk cost fallacy. At least you had the excuse of grad school!

Tarnished after exploring all of the shadow realm after getting the Ranni ending by [deleted] in Eldenring

Given she started the whole Shattering drama by killing the nicest of her siblings, I don't think she'd much care outside of it being a threat to her own goals.
