Quick Hancock And Valentine Doodle

Ass deep in the Dragon Age wiki again, and apparently there’s a mysterious chanter character who appears around the Hissing Wastes.

the part that gets me:

i think that killing a dragon should have catastrophic nuclear-fallout level environmental consequences tbh. their blood should scorch and wither the earth with fire and poison, the toxic fumes released as they decay should choke the land and all nearby living creatures, and the entire landscape where they fell should be transformed into a blighted wasteland where bleached leviathan bones loom upwards out of the ground as a warning that can be seen from miles away, the boundary markers of an exclusion zone.

FUNDAMENTALLY, CYBERPUNK 2077 IS NOT A GAME ABOUT OBTAINING RICHES, FAME OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, DESPITE WHAT MANY PISSY REVIEWERS MIGHT SAY ABOUT IT- FIRST AND FOREMOST, IT'S A GAME ABOUT HUMAN CONNECTION IN FACE OF A GREAT TRAGEDY, EITHER PERSONAL OR SOCIETAL. V IS DYING, AND SO IS THE WORLD AROUND THEM, DUE TO CAPITALIST EXPLOITATION- V'S DESIRE TO GET RICH AND CLIMB THE SOCIAL LADDER TO GET OUT OF POVERTY BY AQUIRING MONEY AND FAME, A GOAL THAT'S VERY TYPICAL FOR PEOPLE LIVING IN A HYPERCAPITALIST SOCIETY, AND THE PLANET SLOWLY DYING DUE TO CORPO EXPLOITATION, WITH FLORA AND FAUNA DYING OFF, WATER AND AIR BECOMING POLLUTED AND CLIMATE CHANGE BECOMING MORE AND MORE RUTHLESS. IN A WORLD LIKE THIS, WHAT DO WE HAVE TO HOLD ON TO? THE GAME SEEMS TO IMPLY THAT OTHER HUMAN BEINGS ARE THE ONLY THING WORTH FIGHTING FOR- BY DOING QUESTS FOR CHARACTERS LIKE JUDY, PANAM, RIVER, KERRY, CLAIRE, MISTY OR EVEN JOHNNY, V IS ABLE TO BRING POSITIVE CHANGE INTO THESE CHARACTERS' LIVES. CRUTIALLY, ALL OF THEIR QUESTS CENTER AROUND MOURNING, SHOWING JUST WHAT BIG OF AN IMPACT DEATH HAS ON YOUR LOVED ONES, SOMETHING THAT TIES BACK TO THE PROTAGONISTS, V AND JOHNNY, GIVEN THAT ONE OF THEM WILL DIE SOON, AND ONE OF THEM HAS DIED ALREADY- IT'S A WAKE UP CALL FOR THEM, FOR V TO USE THE TIME THEY HAVE LEFT WISELY AND FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS, AKA THEIR LOVED ONES, AND FOR JOHNNY TO SEE JUST HOW BIG OF AN IMPACT THE SELFISH LIFE HE LED HAD ON PEOPLE LIKE ROGUE, KERRY OR ALT. THAT'S WHY THE BOND BETWEEN JOHNNY AND V IS SO IMPORTANT TO THE NARRATIVE- JOHNNY IS WHO V CAN BECOME IF THEY WILL CONTINUE ON THE PATH OF SURVIVAL BY ALL MEANS AND THIRST FOR FAME, AND V IS WHO JOHNNY COULD'VE BEEN IF HE'D PRIORITIZE HIS FRIENDS AND PARTNERS WHILE HE WAS ALIVE. V CAN HELP JOHNNY TO TRY REPAIR AT LEAST SOME OF THE MISTAKES HE MADE IN LIFE, WHILE JOHNNY CAN WARN V AND SERVE AS THEIR GUIDE, AS FLAWED AND SELFISH HE MIGHT BE SOMETIMES. THEY ARE BOTH ON A CRASH COURSE TO BECOMING THE SAME PERSON ANYWAYS, SO THEY MIGHT AS WELL BE THE BEST OF THE BOTH OF THEM. TRANSCENDENCE AND CHANGE IN GENERAL ARE IMPORTANT THEMES OF THE GAME TOO, WITH V FEARING THEIR DEATH AND BECOMING JOHNNY, WHEN THEY SHOULD ACCEPT THAT NOTHING IN LIFE IS PERMANENT, AND THEY ARE CONSTANTLY CHANGING INTO DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THEMSELVES. EVEN THEIR SLOW CHANGE INTO JOHNNY, OR, MORE PRECISELY, AN AMALGAMATE OF THE TWO OF THEM, ISN'T THAT DIFFERENT FROM THE CHANGE EVERYONE GOES THROUGH ALL THE TIME, EVERY DAY. IN THE END, V CAN ASCEND INTO A BEING OF THE NET AND GIVING THEIR BODY TO JOHNNY, GOING THROUGH THE MOST LITERAL READING OF THAT "CHANGE" THEME IN THE GAME. JOHNNY'S ARC IS ALSO HEAVILY TIED TO CHANGE, AND THAT'S WHERE HIS CHARACTER ARC COMES IN-

hey guys i was in a victorian-era house today and does anyone want to see the most viscerally upsetting santa claus i have ever seen with my eyeballs

If you haven't done this already, faucet dragon mimics? A little like the shower head ones

Or maybe utensil mimics lol

I liked the utensil idea. I also realized I misspelled “Utensil” in the title.
