i want to do a long educational thread on here but i don't even have the attention span to figure out what i'd want to write about much less actually write the thing

things i was not expecting to see today: an honest-to-gods Cutesy interpretation of greek myth. Cutesy. y'know, with all the like. cute little gods committing cute little murders and such. i have no idea how this is supposed to work and as a result i am compelled to follow this through to the end

IMPORTANT UPDATE on this cartoon thing: the creator's name is gaylord. like, that's the Actual Name of this person

i've never seen this name in the wild omh*ck

so my search results here are uh. some combination of memes and tips on """becoming a god""". the weird part is that there's about an even split between spiritualish hokum and d&d guides

if it were, say, godbound or nobilis guides instead, i'd understand

also there's some kind of cartoon thing in here? but idk what it is so i cant categorise it

symmetrical in the not the usual way i mean

you know whats the worst thing about symmetrical seats is theres no way to sit drawkcab on them

it's really hard to try to determine a person's thought processes or general behaviour without starting to think like them. i mean yeah i'm an empathic mimic but still

idk for sure but in my imo the fact that actively seeking knowledge isn't an explicit tenet is intentional. moriel generally values the publicity of knowledge more than the knowledge itself, and their adherents are likely to be knowledge seekers anyway. so that way if they have to compromise on something, the tenets suggest what to do, without otherwise really changing any behaviour whatsoever

and yes, to those paying attention, this isn't a moral framework. ethics has no bearing on any of this, really, unless your ethical system is built around it instead of realistic concerns. don't do this

this is also a big part of why moriel is so scary. and possibly having the power to enforce compliance doesn't help

The tenets of knowledge can be summed up as follows: That one should strive always to advance truth to the full extent of one's capacity. To lie, or otherwise spread untruth is sin; equally sinful is to prevent the spread of truthful information. The practitioner is obligated, should they be aware, to counter any misinformation they find. Perhaps most damning is a refusal to actively encourage the spread of truth. Thus are the tenets of knowledge, and their sins.

sometimes we get a very abrupt reminder of how finnish we are. usually it's something to do with:
• heat/cold tolerance
• sauna
• metal
• sisu
• 'oh right our name is fkn wolverine danger'
• nudity
• why tf does nobody know finnish
• why tf does anybody know finnish

most of these are the same thing really (see also: sisu)

one really interesting facet of the rather messy execution of the whole cfd storyline is that whatever freelancer was behind the fictional science of this definitely did some legwork on it. there's multiple instances where they make a point of distinguishing the effects of the virus from, as they put it, naturally-occurring did—at least once referring to it by name. that's....honestly, pretty incredible for the mess that is sr5e lore writing

cgl can go frag themselves tho
