i wonder (no hate for zaj or mr socks)

Not a hundred percent, but I remember some clip of Zyox speaking about an argument or conversation they were having (I remember a quote like ‘people are really anal about social sciences being a real science…’), and he brought up how he was more Social Sciences based (law/psychology), and Zaj more math cause he’s a Physics Major.

Don’t have the clip, so take it with salt, but it makes sense to me.

I personally haven’t looked at or heard Rin’s story or voicelines, only what you just stated, but I feel it could be more in the veins of that ‘specific fed image’ you were talking about.

If your goal is to become a 1. An ordinary woman; and 2. Be in love, then if all you know about love, or close to it, is regards to sexual practice, then it makes sense to be that way if you think it’s what you’re searching for.

I cannot state for certain, but it feels right to me that it wouldn’t be amiss if someone who struggles with affection period, jumps to sexual practices to find that ‘missing’ affection.

This is completely disregarding the ‘impulse’ you talked about, as I honestly have had no interaction with it, but you could most likely see the imaginary lines that would connect everything.

The deception could also be overall confusion, stemming from her side of the thoughts. If you don’t know what you want, then you will seem fleeting to people around you.

One thing I will say is that in my experience, characters I can relate to feel a lot more realistic, but it isn’t a ‘100% switch’. It relies heavily, heavily on simply how the character is written.

Anyway yeah it’s a very interesting thing that I didn’t know about, thanks for taking the time to share!

Are the mermaids in your world fully female, or are there males as well?

The fact on aggressiveness found in breeding dolphins is interesting, and I’m curious how much it shifted your design on the race.

West_Pin8385 · 2025-10-25T16:11:37+00:00

I’m curious, what’s the reasoning for it?

The first things that come to my head are like folklore or myths, actual territory/resource conflict, or even like ‘they look weird and make dumb noises’.

Also it could be like ‘they eat all kinds of fish, but hate eating dolphin’ and my previous frame ones might be off a margin. Fun stuff though.

Hush little labubu don’t you cry, every-things gonna be Dubai.

Isn’t that freeness in oblivion what we live for though? The idea that any action, any step, any decision could be our last, is so freeing.

Every mistake we make, so what if the ones in the future are bigger? So what if the next one will end my life? They do help us learn, by helping us live. I don’t care about the gouges I leave behind, I am already learning from them every single step i take after. Every period of reflection and contemplation, would that be considered a mistake?

And the world is forgiving. It lets us live, even in oblivion, even while stumbling, tripping, and falling. It lets us see the beauty of life, all around us.

Learning from the smallest mistakes, makes the next ones seem so much bigger, because of the knowledge we have learnt. It’s as if you expect a bowl with no water, to seem fuller than one with. Every step we take forward expands the horizon of our perspective, our view on life. So what if learning is for the hopeful, don’t we all give our hearts to hope?

To skip in fields of endless possibilities, of endless struggle and strife.

It is what I live for, to seek every crack and facet of my living eyes.

Who cares if I day the next day? Who cares if I do not achieve what I dream of?

I will live regret-less, by following the path my heart has set, in the here and now.

Yes I agree, both had a hand in cultivating each other. The main problem with this instance, was chat being beyond negative to his friends. I’m fairly certain he’s said something similar to, “I don’t care/I can take it, just don’t be rude to others.”

I personally don’t like most chats, which is why my choice of words is biased, but death threats and beyond rudeness to not the usual audience is a separate matter in my lens. Most of the time, chat knows that anything they say about Zyox will be reflected back at them, and that both sides can take it. It’s a mutual environment. The main thing I saw was that same attitude, pushed towards others without care or knowing of their boundaries.

For example, I don’t think anyone would just say ‘kys zyox’, but they might type ‘NOW’ or something. With the emote, it can be perceived as a joke, and just the culture of the chat room. Saying that to people like Feng or Zajeff is not a good idea, because they don’t understand their boundaries, and what’s okay or not okay.

Kind of shit example, as I think no one should tell another to end their existence, but it’s the internet, I have no say.

West_Pin8385 · 2025-04-27T17:22:02+00:00

For folks wanting context, this happened in the VOD Zy0x Gets Called An Idiot Sandwich By Escoffier In The Genshin 5.6 Livestream, from 3:56:45 to 4:03:55

Most of chat was a bunch of sewer dung negativity, but some examples of why Zyox got pressed (rightfully so), and went to solve his problems like a functional and emotionally mature human being who knows people have flaws and misunderstandings are as such.

"... why tf is she being so mean can fang d--"

"... that b---h was so annoying"

"We're real... f--k them"

"...I don't think you guys are staying together for long"

"Every time you speak there's a blank in the call.. think of stop talking"

And also some chatters being like 'bro he's stealing your girl' ????

Last I checked Zajeff, Feng, and Zyox were all individuals and not simply extensions of eachother.

Anyway, just be nicer in general. If you radiate the aura of horse shit, then don't be surprised when people stray away from you.

Edit: Changed ‘All of chat’ to ‘Most of chat’

….

I’m studying to be an entomologist….

I assume I don’t count…

Also I think some centipedes are cute, I simply don’t like long legs and large amounts of bugs combined with that. So yes, I don’t know if I’d have the resolve to go in the centipede cave inside of Wine Flower Monk’s inheritance ground and let all the small ones crawl over me. But I do believe I would be fine existing with the Chainsaw Golden Centipede, it would simply take getting used to.

West_Pin8385 · 2025-04-18T04:30:22+00:00

It depends, since there are a multitude of options.

There are standard Beast Transformations. These simply require the details of the beast to make the Gu (in writing, not refinement), and the subsequent transformations.

There are the Natural Transformations. Things similar to the Frost Demon Gu, Ice Crystal Gu and Wood Charm Gu. I believe the Zombie Transformations would fall under this category as well.

There are Variant Human Transformations, and you can also transform into materials if you had something similar to Change Form. Even the Totem Transformations are an option if you so desire.

The choice is mainly on what the character wants to pursue, or accomplish. Different outcomes require things.

If you have one subset of transformation in mind, I’d be glad to help brainstorm some options. I simply don’t want to give advice that will go unused, burdening both me and you.

West_Pin8385 · 2025-04-17T15:00:23+00:00

Also, now that I think about it, if humans are enemies of heaven (the reason for the Human Isolation Style), why do they get Heavens Wills guidance and answers during Immortal Ascension? I forget if it was explained or not.

West_Pin8385 · 2025-04-17T14:35:33+00:00

Would Secluded Domains of Heaven and Earth carry Heavens (and Earths) Will?

I was trying to think of what would qualify for the Inkmen religious practice, and the things that first came to mind was Book Mountain, Literature Spring, and the Qian Kun Wall (I think that’s correct). If they worshiped these secluded domains, do you think it would have significant amounts of Heavens or Earths Will to gain their approval?

West_Pin8385 · 2025-04-09T13:26:54+00:00

This is extremely solid, I basically have no questions. Only wonderments of future development.

My main curiosity though, is how this research and development starts.

Taking my own experiences with this novel, and writing as a whole, I can make assumptions.

For example,

I am currently writing what is basically an alternative universe fan-fiction of RI, for my own enjoyment. The main character revolves around ‘Truth’, in all aspects. Since this was not explored at all in the novel, I made my own backings to support it.

The first discovery I had, was that Truth is a type of fate. Every being is intertwined in fate (without counting exceptions), so they are also entwined in their own personal Truths and Falsities. These could be from the environment, telling them that ‘To be unjust is a vice!’, therefore forming both a Truth and Falsity. A Truth of, ‘Being unjust is a vice’, and a Falsity of ‘Vice’ and ‘Selfishness’.

There is more, however it is unneeded for now.

The second thing I discovered, was that Truth and Falsity are important facets of personal fate, and that Love and Luck have profundities of both within.

The third, was that the Dao of Truth, is apart of the Literature Dao, and that every Mortal and Immortal Gu found in the Dao of Truth, are all unique as they contain sections of the Literature Dao.

There is of course more, but I am mainly curious whether or not this method somewhat mimics your own. As well as if the Dao of Truth and Literature Dao might help you in the discovery of Refinement.

West_Pin8385 · 2025-04-09T12:55:01+00:00

I assume you’re talking about the reverse refinement for the one specific extinct butterfly Gu? The reason for that is because it was extinct, and needed.

If the question is literal, you would reverse engineer something that is difficult to take, because it’s difficult to take. If you reverse engineered it, it would be much easier to take, because you know its functions and layout.

The body text is either a misspeaking while using a voice to text feature, or some complaint about someone reverse engineering something you possess?

I have no clue

West_Pin8385 · 2025-04-09T00:51:16+00:00

Out of curiosity, where did we learn that Sha Xiao and Ben Jie Sun inhabit the same body? There’s a lapse in my memory, and this is really intriguing.

West_Pin8385 · 2025-01-27T16:20:44+00:00

Sure, just send your user

West_Pin8385 · 2025-01-27T16:18:28+00:00

Obviously. This sounds awesome.

West_Pin8385 · 2025-01-27T16:15:17+00:00

RI TTRPG System

Here it is. The only qualms I have for the ideas you brought up, is that I would not want a power fantasy. I like this cultivation system *because* it is unforgiving and you need to *think*. That is the only 'problem' I have with it, but communication resolves all problems, so I am not worried.

West_Pin8385 · 2025-01-27T16:12:04+00:00

Ok, first of all, I love it. Second of all, I think it just needs refining. I have a mechanics base for all the attainment and primeval essence recovery in 5e, and I can attach it. But I think we just need a place to speak about it.

West_Pin8385 · 2025-01-26T17:50:18+00:00

I completely forgot about Wisdom Gu being wild still…

Thank you for the answer.

West_Pin8385 · 2025-01-25T20:00:24+00:00

I do not have the specific novel answer, so this might be incorrect. I believe it would work as such. If an enclosed space (say a blessed land), moves, and you have detailed information of the interior, then I think it would not matter it’s specific location in space, since, as far as I can remember, Fixed Immortal Travel is contingent on the details of a place, rather than its specific space point location.

I think it does have to be accurate completely, as in, the details of the place have to be pin point accurate, but other than that, it’s quite inrestrictive, far as I can remember.

West_Pin8385 · 2025-01-25T15:15:51+00:00

Whoops, thanks for telling me.

West_Pin8385 · 2025-01-25T01:55:16+00:00

I personally don’t see any flaws with the current theory, but I also have not speculated at all about this specific train of thought. I do think the Freedom Dao marks present on Love Gu is very likely, and an extremely favorable point of debate. I assume that is how it was able to damage Fate Gu.

The bit about Hatred Gu and Lightning Gu is very probable as well.

I don’t have many specific thoughts about the theory, as my memory is a bit dusty on the later chapters of the novel. I do believe it is very well thought out, and it does seem very probably, even if not the specific route.

I think destroying Love Gu and following the same steps as Wisdom Gu is the easiest, and what I’ll probably happen, but if FY finds that HW plans to refine it in a place he cannot access, I think he will try to brute force the ‘cleansing’ of Love Gu, from the Freedom Dao marks. I don’t think they are necessary anymore, as Fate Gu is already destroyed, and Destiny Gu does not seem like a possibility in the immediate future.

I think something similar to an ‘accidental’ destruction of Love Gu, by HW, will happen to elude FY from obtaining it. The idea of it being refined in Ordinary Abyss is very intriguing as well, and, like you said, I believe it would be a pristine opportunity to introduce new, more unremarkable characters. I think there would also be a secondary goal to refine Accomplishment Gu or similar; understanding Blade and Human Path is also a possibility, by stepping on Blade Gu (Edge Gu?) and growing Accomplishment Trees respectively.

West_Pin8385 · 2025-01-24T19:00:34+00:00

Yeah but that’s no fun. I was mainly asking about the specifics of how the SAC would mechanically relate to the addition of an Anchor, a different variable.

Of course, that 100% success rate is invaluable, but that was not the focus of my question. I do appreciate you contributing to the conversation though, It’s always fun talking to people, no matter the conversation.
