I just love those winter days when the snow hasn't melted off the branches yet. What a lovely horseride!

Now for FH7 please ditch drivatars and bring back named NPCs as the other drivers 🙏

Very beautiful indeed ⛰️

But I will say that a small number of individuals throughout Tëilachelst history have conspired to make things more warlike. Thankfully they've never succeeded.

(This here is my fantasy of actual accountability, which we're sorely lacking IRL😒)

Bringing back in their cultural values, they have "wargames", but that's contained to those who follow the Calling of the Warrior and they're like giant sports matches. 🧵

Setting aside their cultural values, any kind of war in such an environment would have to be quite small-scale, more like raiding parties, or like squads fighting against each other 🧵

they have figured out peace and justice and understanding amongst themselves. And because they're all in an science-fantastical interstellar ark, so big all out wars would be impractical anyway 🧵

I finally watched the anime a couple weeks ago. It was a great watch! Maomao is a fun name to say. Maomao 😹

*Nëquýdhil* is purely aesthetic & rule of cool, so it wouldn't follow actual good armoring practices

Lately I've been trying to be more intentional with the music I listen to, so I've been purchasing FLACs for the albums I love. Bandcamp obviously is a great place for artists who are on there, but I recently found that Qobuz has what I'm looking for when Bandcamp doesn't

But they prize beauty and craftsmanship, so they can appreciate a well-wrought weaponry and armor. And that can be something elegantly functional or over-the-top fantasy.

The rule of cool we must follow

And villainy in the narratives in this setting do not align with weapon choice, so no "bad guys use guns, good guys use polearms."

The Tëilachelst attitude towards weapons is a lot like Obi-Wan's 😆

If "living weapon" is how they'd want to be described 😅

Oh yeah, they got him beat. The T-1000 also can't make moving parts or chemical reactions, so if Tynan can do that then they are quite a versatile living weapon!
