Summa Blasphemia

I have done the tests to see if it is arthritis or carpal tunnel, and it all points to tendonitis. Of course this is a self diagnosis, but after I went to the doctor and explained what was happening, all she had to say was that this was probably inflammation and I should just take ibuprofen (super helpful wow /s).

So what's the plan? Well, the obvious one is to stop straining my fucking wrist(s). I have had this pain for a year and a little more now, so I highly suspect that this is due to years of me not really giving a fuck about my wrist until it got super inflamed.

I'm not even joking. I had this little burst of improvement, and then suddenly it got unbearable to the point I gave up and went to get Copperfit Compression sleeves. And the discomfort I show is unfortunately very visible now, people ask me questions about what happened to my wrist.

I'm not at a loss yet, but this is annoying.

I just got a vertical mouse (not annoying). I have wrist compression sleeves now (a little annoying but still good). I have the good ol' faithful wrist brace with the splint (most annoying I fucking hate it). I will probably have to get an ergonomic keyboard next.

All of this stuff is for alleviating strain because that's the only suspect I have for this right now. I'll give it three months, if nothing has changed then obviously I need to push to see a doctor that can help me better.

So, something I wish was done better is the twist with Jane Harrow as a villain. Like, I really wish we got to see more of her thought process as she slowly became the person we see in the game. I really wanted to see more of her giving into the tactics that Adler taught her, until eventually she became something so much worse.

Crazy idea here, but what if, Bo6 was a prequel to Bo7, and Bo6 has Jane as the main protagonist. And throughout the game we see her positive relationships with Troy and Case (one seeing her as the mentor figure he always wanted, and the other seeing her as one of the most precious things in his life because she was one of his only supporters after the Cradle bullshit). Behind all that sweetness, she's using them both, and neither of them realize it.

And we get to see her turn more and more into a villain, until the end of the game, when she becomes the leader of Pantheon. And that turning point, the moment where she can't turn back, starts with her usurping her mentor as America's Monster. She kills Adler at the end of it, as told to by the previous Pantheon leader.

So when I get to it, the story in my IRDR AU series will have these two together in a relationship already. Just cuz I think these two would work together for years before the Pantheon bullshit happens. The thing about good ol' Casey boy is that he is the most unsubtle motherfucker to exist.

Like, I imagine that after Case and Marshall develop feelings for each other, Case goes out on a limb and professes his love in the most cheesey and unsubtle way ever. Nothing nuts, the two of them are in a car alone together one day, Case just turns to Marshall and says, "I have a crush on you, and I'd lay down my fucking life for you". And this throws Marshall off guard because he was planning on confessing in a more eloquent way, but Case beat him to it.

Case is a working man, he ain't got time for theatrics. In other words, he's blunt like a hammer and doesn't like to dance around shit. I also headcanon that Case is a car and gun guy. He loves guns and cars for their mechanical glory, and he'll go on and on to Marshall about what he finds so interesting about them. Marshall is a DnD guy (ironically got into it during the Satanic Panic). So, often what they do is they make their own homebrew dnd campaigns together involving mechanical things (and guns because Case is insane and managed to create a good set of rules surrounding them), and they run that shit as co-dms.

When they met for the first time, Marshall got all iffy about him because Case has a very obvious Tennessee accent (that's southern twang for the non-americans) and is kind of stereotypically Southern. But then he quickly learned that if Case was actually racist, he'd know in the first 5 minutes. It's that blunt, completely honest nature Case has that drew Marshy in. If there was a problem, Case would let him know it, and god, he appreciates that fact. What Case appreciates about Marshall is how truly sincere he is, and how he won't bend for anyone. He's got a shining iron rod for a spine, and Case loves that. They fit together like puzzle pieces as mission partners because it's that loud vs quiet dynamic. Case can demand attention from the enemy because of his tendency to go loud and make the adversaries run in circles while trying to get him, while Troy is quiet and sneaks behind them, mopping up any stragglers. Now, I know that the two of them already being together might seem contradictory to my previous headcanons for Case, but lemme explain. It's not that Case ALWAYS thinks he's a danger to society who doesn't deserve an ounce of affection, it's that he has wax and wane periods for intrusive thoughts (because OCD driven intrusive thoughts are not always constant), so sometimes he can be quite sure about his place on the moral compass, but other times it's like "Man I am such an evil ass person, but I'm trying to work to do good things to offset that". His doubt about himself, is not always pervading his thoughts. However, when the waning period is over, and the moon that is his intrusive thoughts start to wax, that's when it all comes at him and the anxiety starts coming around. Most of his anxiety when it comes to Marshall comes from fears of hurting him or not loving him (like, this relationship of theirs is a phase, and Case will suddenly stop loving him one day, even though he's over the moon for him and is completely sincere about trading his life for Marshall's if it ever came down to it).

Marshall can tell when Case has these OCD flare-ups because he'll often flinch or look away when he has intrusive thoughts about harming him, and on really bad days he'll try to avoid Marshall altogether. He's still there to reassure Case that he isn't a bad person or on the verge of losing control of himself and hurting him. His priority is to calm Case down, and he does help a lot, but he can't really stop Case's compulsions. However, Case would truly be worse off if he didn't have Marshall there with him for support.

Nightwings can both choose their names and have others choose for them. That's how you get names like "Foeslayer" or "Quickdeath"; names that are meant to signify their job and how good they are at it.

But names that are meant to state something about personality are often given by their peers or family. Usually for it to be their true name, the dragon has to accept it. In all cases, if they reject it, then it isn't their name plain and simple.

Nightwings can also reject their current one and choose a new one if they believe it does not suit them.

This culture of naming will also be applied to nightwing hybrids and even non-Nightwing dragons if it is desired.

But there is a barb to this name culture. There is such a thing as names of shame. These are typically given to those who have committed crimes against society. They are cruel and have words meant to describe poor character (like Heartless, Cowardly, or Hateful). Of course an offending dragon doesn't have to accept a name of shame as theirs, but that doesn't mean a Nightwing won't call them by that name because, in this case, their right to choose what their community calls them is being taken away as punishment.

For outsiders this is associated with assassins and even specialized soldiers, but this is common among all fields. It's just a way of separating themselves from their work.

Who the fuck are you people to decide whether or not something serious had an impact on somebody?

I see you over there whining about "internet hate culture :(" Avalon Rose. Avalon "Sagutoyas was walking around on eggshells" Rose.

Take notes on this situation and understand that these mindsets are exactly the kind of shit Predators exploit to get away with heinous behavior with a capital H.

"There was no proof", you literally have a document with nothing but screenshots, and testimony, from the victim showing that Sagutoyas did in fact prey on him and multiple other minors as young as eleven. The real final nail in the coffin was Sagutoyas ADMITTING that this happened as GlitchedSol described it.

GlitchedSol dropped out of art school because of this. He was assaulted by his father because of this.

You don't get to cry about "oh the internet is so mean :C you folks are evil when you think it's justified" when YOU ARE NOT THE VICTIMS HERE. You inserted yourselves into a situation that you were unneeded in because you wanted an animator for the stupid magic cat story so bad.

You fucktards were the first people to roll out the welcome mat for Sagutoyas, so I hope that fact is used against you for a very, very, long time.

As for GlitchedSol, I genuinely only hope for the best for this guy because he deserves better than this and he should live a happy life.

EDIT: He doesn't go by this username anymore and I don't think I want to share what the new one is because he deserves to move forward from this. He's not just "Sagutoyas' Victim", he's a person with a life and goals and feelings. So I'm not going to share. He doesn't deserve to be constantly looked over with the lens of being Sagutoyas' victim.

I do not care for Modern Warfare 4.

Genuinely. Mark my words there's gonna be no improvement in anything from the previous entries, and the writing will either be mid or complete ass.

I don't think a company that routinely abuses its workers and engages in anti-consumer practices deserves any kind of support. You're gonna get shit games from shitty work practices. Stop supporting this bullshit.
