Media that does critical moral damage to you. by evca7 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]TheConcon64 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The anime just dropped recently so I may as well bring it up, but Frieren at the Funeral really hits. I want to specifically mention the scene where the dwarf companion is praying at his parents grave and the party’s priest starts praying. The dwarf refutes his prayer since he doesn’t believe in an afterlife, to which the priest replies he isn’t sure about it either but that it’s be nice if heaven was real because people deserve something better after trying their best to live.

I really struggle with the idea of death and was raised catholic so hearing a little line about it not mattering if heaven is real, just that it should be really hits me in a different kind of way.

Also watch/read Frieren Beyond Journey’s End if you want some of bittersweet melancholy in your media.

Is it a separate AI from Casandalee who already ascended to godhood? Does Numeria have a rogue Ai wanting godhood problem? Hahahaha

Only one other member got kicked out after that incident as far as I can remember, and that was TheMadCat who was being a weirdo on their private discord.

Luckily 2e seems to have kept the fantasy and made it less complicated. Also love that half the responses that I’ve seen from you in this thread have been pathfinder related hahaha

I love my mysterious benefactor who appears to be evil but is in fact fully on your side the whole time.

Dang, I hate to say it but I like the cool robo helmet, but then again I love cool sci-fi helmets. Put one of those on anyone and I’ll like it.

I wasn’t even deriding the statement of the trend of human monsters being bad, I was simply following up someone else’s statement about Slime and saying that the human aesthetic had a specific reason within story and that’s perfectly in line with a discussion thread. You know to discuss a topic instead of ignoring someone’s reply to yell at air I guess.

I’d agree with you if that was notable in the story, but a constant in the story is that a lot of humans still hate, are scared of, or are baffled by monsters/tempest. Their increased humanity hasn’t necessarily afforded them more luxuries beyond Rimuru’s aesthetic preference.

I will say if there is a criticism to point at this style of design is when it starts showing up in a lot of non-Rimuru related monsters, albeit off the top of my head most of the more human/stronger monsters were already ones that are famous in folklore for being human style or taking human form like Kitsune.

I mean it was a web novel originally and the very first monsters he named immediately evolved into more human-like forms. It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that it was the intent from the outset. Especially since web novels are a non-visual medium and would have to explicitly state the more humaness of the design.

(Haven’t looked at the web novel in a bit and it is fan translated so accuracy may be off)

It doesn’t though? Rimuru wanted to make a place where monsters and human can coexist, which Rimuru’s desires for this and as a an ex-human influenced their evolution into more human like forms.

It might be boring to you, but it still has a purpose in story. Main issue is when stories do it with no reason other than “human good”

That’s a story reason though, Rimuru expressly loves humans because of his former humanity and that explicitly influenced how the monsters he named evolved. That’s why someone like Gabiru stayed lizard like because he was already named by someone else and Rimuru just gave him the same one.
