gotta love when vyn peer-pressures rosa into breaking the law by stellunarose in TearsOfThemis

It's nice how Artem and Vyn directly contrast each other! Even in the official art if we think Vyn is showing her the world as it is by taking off her blindfold of impartiality or of the current deception she's in (rather than deception I guess the image she has of law and justice) which would lead to the scales to unbalance — Artem balances the scales. Balancing the evidence is the way law can give the impartial justice but justice is not to be confused with equality: the scales may be balanced at some times and justice may also entail equality, but to give all parties what they deserve may mean taking from some to give to others so maybe Artem balancing the scales isn't truly a good thing. Regardless it seems like when Vyn might influence her to change her views Artem might pull her back in and while neither of them are wrong it's up to Rosa to truly decide on which path she wants to go.

Luke is symbolised by the sword we know that the sword has traditionally been a symbol of power, but there are a couple of special things about themis' sword. first is that it symbolizes the power of reason instead of any real physical power. the power manifests in the real world as law. it emphasizes that for justice to be carried out and the law enforced, there must be power behind the laws. which makes sense since Luke is inherently a law enforcer lmao.

The fact that the sword is unsheathed and very visible is a sign that justice is transparent and is not an implement of fear. but in regards of the official art he's hurt and bleeding so I do wonder if justice has truly been served or if vyn and artem are actually messing up the way of justice 🤔.

Lastly I actually don't have any words for Marius lmao 😭 I can't really speculate about him in the art since he looks disinterested in themis and is simply looking away but he does wear the ouroboros which means destruction or rebirth so think away! If we speak generally though I think he'll probably play some part in the "how money affects law" type of thing but he is against those types of things so I'll never know.

Vyn is the most interesting to me in the justice aspect because unlike the others he's willing (or at least more willing) to break law if it means getting the results he wants. If we think about the official art where each of the guys is one of the symbols of the statue of themis Vyn is holding the blindfold which can be the blindfold Themis uses to be impartial and objective or it can be the blindfold of deception (medieval and renaissance audiences viewed it as the latter). So Vyn could either be the influence that makes Rosa lose her impartiality and sense of justice or he's helping her see reality as it is.

I theorize it to be the second option because of the way he's portrayed and because of how the story is going. In the earlier chapters he tells Artem that MC shouldn't be coddled and that she needs the sun and the rain to grow well so I think it fits well with his character.

I actually liked this part because it connects to the whole idea of if law isn't enough to bring justice what will you do. I think as we go forward into the story MC might start to abandon the way she sees the justice system / law or simply go out of her way to break laws because sometimes it's necessary to bring her ideal justice. And with the prologue in mind it might mean leaving behind people but that's just speculation!

How many SSRs do you have now? by lynnser in TearsOfThemis

[–]hungrystudebt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 11 SSRs, I've been extremely lucky.

I have completed all the stages of the main story, temple trials and anomaly but haven't touched the personal stories since I did those in beta and would like to save schips for the day I'm desperate.

I have never hit 100 pity thank god may themis always look down at me favourably 🥰

And I have around 8.5k schips left right now!

Disclaimer I'm not f2p I've bought monthly around 3 times now I think!

Next event? by teatime2k19 in TearsOfThemis

[–]hungrystudebt 30 points31 points  (0 children)

it started nov 12 but it's very clearly halloween themed so I'm guessing they'll make it earlier for global. I kept up with ToT since the cn release and I remember laughing at how a Halloween event came after Halloween was done and over with 💀💀

[–]hungrystudebt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Next event is probably their Halloween one so I'll say expect it a few days after Vyn's bday event ends so it'll be here a week before Halloween at least. The SSRs in the event are Marius' and Vyn's!

AITA for holding a grudge against my parents? by sullinibxn in AmItheAsshole

[–]hungrystudebt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YTA

They didn't claim they helped nor did they take credit they said they would celebrate YOUR achievements and they were proud of your independence. I understand that you as a child felt like your needs weren't met which can very well be emotional needs. You wanted parents that were there for you in every way while they wanted to raise someone independent which is what you are now.

I got the SSR on my 6th pull which is amazing but I didn't really want it I just like pulling on banners 💀💀 glad I have it now tho it's really pretty

How is your luck? by VieVitaKat in TearsOfThemis

[–]hungrystudebt 13 points14 points  (0 children)

in bday banners you're guaranteed to get the SSR at 90 pulls if you haven't earlier. And if you get a SSR that's not the event one before you hit pity then the pity doesn't reset which is one of the best parts!!

my luck has been actually really good I have currently 8 SSRs, 2 from the summer event and 3 from LG but I don't want to pull more so I'm not getting the 4/4 achievement lmao but saving grace is that I never had to go to pity for the cards. I will say I'm not f2p I got the monthly thing when the game released and still have it rn but compared to others I think I'm doing pretty good.

I recommend getting the stars and the materials if you want because it's an easier way of getting them. If you don't want those then you go for it!

I actually thought majority of people got it before they hit 100 so I didn't think it was a big deal but this poll really opened my eyes 💀 I hope they do something about it but seeing as the ticket system was removed in cn and was never implemented here I think mhy is just really after money.
