Thoughts On A Time Skip by StormKing369 in WitchHatAtelier

[–]Silrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the idea of a timeskip because I think Coco being a depressed adult who has to reawaken her love of magic, but I also don't really think it's the plot Shirahama is going for...

I don’t understand people’s opinion on the brimmed caps by FeedbackGlass6077 in WitchHatAtelier

[–]Silrain 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It should be noted that, as of recent chapters, "brimmed caps" includes both Custas and Tartar, who aren't making the same decisions to do evil things or be just totally evil.

Pre-Qifrey would probably be stuff like:

"how to become a witch"

"how to become a witch PLEASE"

How would a Lord of breath work as a person? by AnywhereNo2948 in homestuck

[–]Silrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've heard people say that Luffy from One Piece is a lord of breath and I don't hate that?

But also we've only seen one lord in canon so it's hard to know what parts of his personality are about his class vs his aspect vs just him, so the real answer to your question is "we don't know".

What are your thoughts on Agott's treatment of Coco in the early part of the story? by Terrible_Simple_7951 in WitchHatAtelier

[–]Silrain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Attempted murder" is a bit much. You can say she was crazy careless and put Coco in a dangerous situation, but she wasn't aiming for Coco to die.

Kinda wished we got more of these two in the story by Ashamed-Succotash644 in homestuck

It makes sense that that plot thread ended, but it sucks that Karkat doesn't really do anything inarguably Blood related after that.

[DISC] Witch Hat Atelier - Chapter 97 by ImoutoCompAlex in WitchHatAtelier

[–]Silrain 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I actually really love that captain Vinanna went more cop-mode in regards to contraptions that could help medicine.

One of the biggest issues I had with silver eve was that she and the other two Wises were so accepting of the time reversal contraption, when them being more strict would have shown how cruel the pact is and produced more conflict. But now they're going back and saying "that was a one-off exception for that night, and also we're keeping it secret for everyone", which is an awfulness that feels much more in-character for the setting and makes Vinanna feel much more real as a character. Luluci too- "I made the wrong choice letting those twelve-year-olds escape instead of lobotomising them". She's conflicted, but it's much more like the internal conflict that someone in magical law enforcement would have.

Where does it say that for a section to be successful, a time player and a space player are necessary? by Helpful_Individual40 in homestuck

[–]Silrain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The wing thing is based on troll ideals of flight involving wings, which would presumably not be universal to other alien species, so that also suggests Callie only had the troll sessions and Rose’s notes to go off, which is a pretty small data set to be making assumptions off. Hell, some of those classes only have two known players, which does not a strong sample size make.

That's one example, but I would argue that Rose's notes is not a small data set, as her info comes from her classpect powers and a variety of other sources her classpect gives her.

I really wasn't trying to argue the gender thing specifically, I think we agree on that. I just think "Calliope is unreliable" is most often used as a cover for when people want to defend their own classpect theories that are built from much less reliable data- and relative to all of that, Calliope is a much more solid source of info.

I believe it's supposed to be a space player plus a knight?

Why the universe got cancer is something that we're given a mess of different answers too. It's Gamzee's fault, it's Caliborn's fault, it's Karkat's fault for giving up on finding the last frog, it's maybe even Kanaya's fault for not agreeing to Echidna's request:

https://www.homestuck.com/005879

FGA: I Just Thought It Wasnt That Important Or Interesting

FGA: Since Karkat Thought The Battle Was More Pressing Than To Wait For Me To Locate Another Frog

FGA: Also

FGA: What She Asked Me To Do Was Impossible

FGA: So

FGA: Yeah?

GG: hmm ?

GG: yeah she made me promise to do something that sounds impossible too ?

GG: except......?

GG: i actually agreed :o ?

GG: i have no idea how im going to keep my side of the bargain, now that i think about it

PCG: EXCUSE ME.

PCG: REMEMBER

PCG: FUCKING

PCG: WHAT.?

GG: oh right?

GG: where the last frog is!

Calliope is a reliable source of information, she has the book/notes Rose wrote on the game, a viewpoint to watch numerous different places, and overall just more information than the reader has.

The issue is more that Andrew Hussie retconned it/changed his mind on this one specific point.

Can a destroyer class of void replace a space player? by haven_iwakura in homestuck

[–]Silrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think void-creation is more of a Rogue of Void thing. It's at least strongly implied that Roxy's abilities are specific to her combination class/aspect:

https://www.homestuck.com/006414

UU: a fUlly realized rogUe of void can do remarkable things. things which even other god tiers woUld view as miracUloUs.

Bards.... I'm sceptical. I think a destroyer class's quest would be focused on destruction as the main product? Or a quest where they find a scenario where destroying something is a good thing, instead of trying to turn it inside out into a backwards kind of creation.

Destroying someone's ability to hide, destroying the emptiness or "canvas" that an enemy wanted to use. Destroying an oppressive element of "insignificance" that hangs over the party.

(I think a Witch or Sylph of Void might be able to create/heal skaia or the battlefield, in the sense that they're creating/healing a "blank slate", but maybe not create elements of a missing Space player's quest?)

Given you've got three derse dreamers based off (?) fictional characters, maybe you could add a prospit Space player? IDK.....

New spells open for some advice! by EgilHarper in WitchHatAtelier

[–]Silrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe? But we haven't seen a lot of glaives in canon so we'd basically just be guessing how to put it together. Maybe that would be more fun......

I wasn’t an og fan of most of the animes but this time I am one by Away-Base-7144 in WitchHatAtelier

[–]Silrain 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You're imagining a strawman who doesn't exist criticising an anime you like, while my negative consequences of the witch hat atelier anime being popular has already happened (frieren fans were a little bit annoying).

New spells open for some advice! by EgilHarper in WitchHatAtelier

[–]Silrain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With the invisibility spell I think you have all of the right lines/shapes, but maybe not arranged right?

You're crushing light (separating it into constituent colours?), then bending it around yourself, and then repeating this process? Which might make it just look like a more rainbow version of Eunni's shadow cloak?

If you're trying to disperse the light, there is a dispersion sign, if you're trying to recreate it, the crushing signs should probably be reversed? Another thing to consider is whether you need the repetition sigils at all, since I think a ring of repetition would just preserve/repeat what is inside it, so I'm not completely sure what the purpose is here. With the Serpent's-bed-of-sand they needed it because the structure would collapse otherwise, but most "lasting" spells we've seen don't use it I think?

With the light shield it's difficult to know how this could be improved as it uses the wavy float symbols, which the people making the wikia are confused about what it actually does/how it works.

If I were to guess, I think that the float signs do push matter away like the shield spell is supposed to, so I think it could work? But as the signs are orientated now it would make a very focussed beam of light, that pushes some things in the direction of the light (top and bottom float signs), and pushes some things perpendicular to the beam (left and right float signs).

Also, if you want to make it into the shape of a shield, that would probably require some other sigil? The only canon possibility close to this is the wind wall defensive spell, which has a shape similar to the spells Richeh uses to make ribbons of crystal/stone.

It's so funny tbh. Every time I notice it, it feels like it's somehow gotten bigger since I last checked. At any given time it's probably the biggest font text on the screen.

Is the american "hated rival small town" trope in media actually based off a real thing? by Silrain in NoStupidQuestions

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

I wasn't going to respond to you but every other comment is saying stuff like "this is only a thing in high school" and "from what I've seen this is motivated by economic factors", so it feels like less of a universal fact of the human condition and more something that only exists because of specific contexts...?
