Good Evening Dokutah. If you have a few spare minutes, Conviction has been pushing me to share a sort've...joint report...they've helped me make. (Also since the timing worked out so nicely, I added a second thumbnail (Youtube lets you set, like, 3). So if you're seeing fanart as the thumbnail it's courtesy of @linequantity )) ---

Oakley and Fake Oakley's (Ferne's) sub-plot would make for a really cute romcom I think. It'd be called "Finding yourself at the edge of the sky". Because Oakley finds 'himself' when he shows up. And then all the other layers it works on. Honestly I'm most happy about the name. Anyway I made this to help people see the vision.
As we say goodbye to Minos for now, we remember the people who continue to make this place "the land of heroes".

Given the JoyOfOurReunion re-run, throwback to my (geez 11 month old? really?) 'report'. Taking inspiration from Xingzhu it's a bit more trivia focused, like why 'Mandarins' share a name with the fruit in Victorian or why smearing a painting's lips means anything. As an aside it feels *odd* listening to myself and realizing the slight differences in how I talk/present. On some level I knew that *must* be the case but I don't normally *feel* like I'm any different. Hm. Well, print out my scripts and paper mache my coffin out of them when the times comes.

I really like how Sky's vibe can go from puppy dog to feral mutt lol. #Get you a research assistant who can do both.

New video! And this time it's for everyone's favourite freak (affectionate)!
One more Haruka, baby!!!
has anyone done this yet
(not really in a mood for posting fan art)(I am still new to arknights, and your videos are fun)
<3 <3 <3 Ah! Now I know how the Operators feel when when they're being trust-tapped~ *ahem* "Thank you Dokutah it's an honor to have my reports enjoyed, let alone to know they've inspired such wonderful art in turn. New to the landship or not, I hope that I and the rest of HR can make it a home for you once again." -- As an aside would you be okay with me using this as the banner on my bluesky and the like? I'd of course be sure to credit and link back to you and all that!

Arknights' deep and expansive worldbuilding often tricks people into expecting complete realism from it in every part of its setting which often leads to them feeling like the game isn't answering these expectations - as seen for example with the criticism to Masses' Travels and how it didn't really develop Laterano's body of faith and spiritual practices or how Terran countries and politics can feel exxaggerated in how they're playing up their specific traits too much - but in my opinion that's not really the intended way to approach Arknights. I see the game as far more interested in metaphors than it is in the verisimilitudeness of its own world & politics and its regions as set pieces that mostly exist as stages for specific themes more than an exercise in complex worldbuilding for its own sake.
Things like how Siracusa is played up so much as a country governed by the mafia to the point it didn't even have a police force before I Portatori dei Velluti, or how Ursus subsituted faith in God with faith in the State, or how Victoria as whole is an atheist country are all examples of this. These things are not strictly realistic, but they do their job perfectly because they're intended to work on the metaphorical level - again, they're better seen as stages than as perfect equivalents to real countries.
Nuance is added later by the interactions between the different regions and the individual characters' relation to them and the way they try to change their country into something better, thus making them more complex, and Arknights does spend quite a lot of words in narrating their history so I don't think it's strictly wrong to get interested in how everything works and be absorbed by the worldbuilding (we do have a very good big ass lorebook I'm quite insane about), and everytime the game does develop them more it's always a nice added bonus, but I don't think of that as the primary function and find it a bit unfair to what the story is going for most of the time to focus too much on its lack of realism. Masses' Travels didn't really need a deep and complex dive on the workings on Lateran faith for its themes to work because it's not intended to act like a real life religion does. Laterano is a metaphor (for many things, not just catholicism) and as such its faith only needs to be explored as much as it's needed to build that metaphor (compared to how Kjerag is more directly exploring a specific in-universe religion and how it affects every level of a country and as such it gains more from going in-depth).
You can even see how that metaphor is changed whenever Lateran faith is exported to other countries - other stages - as it's warped around their specific themes; it assumes a very different form in Iberia, Siracusa and BolΓvar. Only thing the faith itself needed to do as far as each of these stories was concerned was to exist, because the conversation was about the impact of faith and the variety in how it's utilized and you don't really need to know its inner workings for that. The most extreme version of that is how Abnormal Spectrum was able to discuss faith in Ursus and make a perfectly good multi-layered metaphor without even needing religion or the idea of God to exist in it; that was such an insane thing to do and yet they nailed it so well that I've been thinking about that ever since. I guess I just love my metaphors #mymetaphors
