00:00:00...remake it in chaos.
00:00:02Zaheer believes in nothing, he's just ultimately following the rest of the agenda of the Red Lotus.
00:00:06An agenda so nonsensical that it's canon is that nobody knew what the hell their grievances were.
00:00:15...can be slightly understandable.
00:00:16They could!
00:00:17Again, hey, Cosmo.
00:00:21...sucks.
00:00:24It may have been how those stories started, but it certainly wasn't how they ended.
00:00:28Interacting with a chat while recording was not a good idea.
00:00:31It may have been how those stories started, but it certainly wasn't how they ended.
00:00:35They didn't take their ideologies too far, their ideologies either changed or were revealed to be nonsense.
00:00:40The show acts like it actually stuck the landing with their own antagonists, when it just didn't.
00:00:45It shows that Brike really thought they achieved something here when all they did was chicken out,
00:00:49and they think you, the viewer, are too stupid to notice that.
00:00:52Some people think you're supposed to engage with the story on its terms,
00:00:54so if it thinks that's what it was about, then we need to treat it like that.
00:00:58But people only ever say that when a story they like is being criticized.
00:01:01Execution is still a crucial aspect of critique, and Korra fumbled the execution hard.
00:01:08Furthermore, can we talk about how weak and philosophically lazy
00:01:11they took it too far is as a villain story?
00:01:16This is peak horseshoe theory.
00:01:18This is just the horseshoe theory.
00:01:19I know Avatar has always been about balance,
00:01:24but that shouldn't be bound between oppression and no oppression.
00:01:29Virtually all the villains are in some way about tearing down the establishment in varying degrees,
00:01:33so no wonder a lot of people tar the show as being pro-status quo.
00:01:37Some of its defenders think the show was divisive because it was political.
00:01:40No, I think if it was political, as in actually taking a stand on something,
00:01:44it would have been great.
00:01:46But it wasn't.
00:01:48It certainly likes to use political trappings, but that doesn't make it political.
00:01:52It keenly lacks any degree of political literacy.
00:01:55Even having bad politics would have been better.
00:01:57This series has none, and you can't have it like that.
00:02:00If you're going to be political, you need a stance, and if you don't have one, don't be political.
00:02:05Instead, it does this under the idea of making the show appear more mature and dark
00:02:13to a fanbase that's getting older yet still has an age of battle shown in it.
00:02:22Hence why the political subtext goes hand-in-hand with the increased gruesomeness of the violence.
00:02:26But the key to maturity is being bold, taking a bold stance.
00:02:30Not just in politics, but in storytelling as well.
00:02:32And Korra was practically begging for something more meditative and forward-thinking,
00:02:36not to just set an Occupy Wall Street banner on fire and then get back to anime fighting.
00:02:42All in all, The Legend of Korra takes Avatar and proceeds to gentrify it.
00:02:45It adds pretty-looking modern cities.
00:02:47It adds nice, clean, utopian, metal-bending paradises
00:02:49It adds nice, clean, utopian, metal-bending paradises
00:02:51Pretty-looking modern cities.
00:02:57It adds nice, clean, utopian, metal-bending paradises
00:02:59ripped right out of a Tech Bro CGI bullshit project.
00:03:02It adds plenty of American iconography
00:03:04and proceeds to break and bend the world of Avatar to fit into its mold.
00:03:09It adds plenty of American iconography
00:03:11and proceeds to break and bend the world of Avatar to fit into its mold.
00:03:13It adds plenty of American iconography
00:03:15and proceeds to break and bend the world of Avatar to fit into its mold.
00:03:17It adds plenty of American iconography
00:03:19and proceeds to break and bend the world of Avatar to fit into its mold.
00:03:21Granted, Avatar was never all that unique in the first place.
00:03:23The series was rightfully called out for Orientalism in its design.
00:03:25But the solution was to do it better.
00:03:27Not proceed to make, like Americans, nuke half a country
00:03:29and rebuild it into something more closely approximating them.
00:03:32The solution was to let your new cast stretch their legs and find themselves.
00:03:36Not bury them under shackles.
00:03:39Chains and constant references to the original series.
00:03:45Some people will say, you just don't like it because it wasn't like The Last Airbender.
00:03:49The reason I don't like this show is because it tries too hard to be The Last Airbender.
00:03:54It says, here's our bold new ideas.
00:03:56Now let's throw that away so we can take you on a guided tour of Last Airbender nostalgia.
00:04:02Nostalgia?
00:04:03If Avatar is going to continue, which it clearly wants to,
00:04:08it can't keep doing this.
00:04:10They're already teasing the next Avatar taking place in the modern day.
00:04:14Clearly wants to.
00:04:18It can't keep doing this.
00:04:24They're already teasing the next Avatar taking place in the modern day.
00:04:27And I gotta say, if we don't learn from Korra, dial back the stakes.
00:04:33Focus on the characters and get your ducks in a row
00:04:36before you start blowing up the planet.
00:04:38This is just going to get even worse.
00:04:44And that's Legend of Korra.
00:04:45A show with so much promise and so many interesting new takes
00:04:48on not just Avatar, but traditional adventure stories.
00:04:51Practically smothered under the crea-
00:04:53Practically smothered under the creator's unwillingness to commit to any of it.
00:04:59Practically smothered under the creator's unwillingness to commit to any of it.
00:05:04Under the fear that if it wasn't just like the original
00:05:06and didn't have enough references to the original,
00:05:08people might stop watching.
00:05:09And that became a self-
00:05:11And that became a self-
00:05:13And that became a self-fulfilling prophecy.
00:05:15As its unwillingness to commit caused its ratings to plummet to the point
00:05:22it was moved into the streaming ghetto and languished there.
00:05:26Plummet to the point it was moved into the streaming ghetto and languished there.
00:05:31And in a twist of beautifully dark irony,
00:05:37despite the romance being the most hated part of the show,
00:05:40that's now the only thing it's ever really remembered for.
00:05:54It's ever really remembered for.
00:05:56That's now the only thing-
00:05:58That's now the only thing it's ever really remembered for.
00:06:01And I-
00:06:03It's a shame, because at the very least,
00:06:04Cora herself deserved way more than to just languish as a pin-up for the internet's-
00:06:09And I find that a shame, because at the very least Cora herself deserved way more-
00:06:16And I find that a shame, because at the very least,
00:06:18Cora herself deserved way more than to just languish as a pin-up for the internet's muscle girl fetish.
00:06:24I'm Lily. Thanks for watching.
00:06:28Girl fetish.
00:06:32I'm Lily.
00:06:33Thanks for watching.
00:06:34No TV and movies suck, I'm here with my gal.
00:06:50Shake your hand, kick around.
00:06:59Hey you want a beer?
00:07:00Peter, it's 11am.
00:07:01If the clock ain't digital, you don't know that.
00:07:21No TV and movies suck, I'm here with my gal.
00:07:27Shake your hands, kick around.
00:07:29Wear a suit to breakfast.
00:07:31Underwear that laces up.
00:07:33All girls have a guy's haircut.
00:07:35Prank your car to make it start.
00:07:37You will die of measles.
00:07:46Thanks for watching.
00:07:47No TV and movies suck, I'm here with my gal.
00:07:53Shake your hands, kick around.
00:07:55Wear a suit to breakfast.
00:07:57Underwear that laces up.
00:07:59All girls have a guy's haircut.
00:08:01Prank your car to make it start.
00:08:03You will die of measles.
00:08:08Perfect.
00:08:09That's going to be the music for the credits.
00:08:17So, final time count, 2 hours and 20 minutes.
00:09:17Are you going to animate a puppet throughout?
00:09:36Probably not.
00:09:48Hmm.
00:10:00Hmm.
00:10:08Because they're just filling a mandatory role.
00:10:10Several videos ago, I pitched an idea for a successor to Korra, Avatar Neva.
00:10:14A rather flighty and skittish avatar who cowers behind her sister and has an arc about stepping out of the safety of her sister's shadow.
00:10:19And after I gave that, the first thing the comments started asking me about was animal companions and their team.
00:10:24And after I said multiple times, there were none, only her sister, some people got bored and went to go do something else.
00:10:29And to an extent, I can understand that.
00:10:31It's hard to ignore the story in favor of shipping when the only two permanent characters are siblings.
00:10:35Not impossible, but whenever a franchise has a trope that is considered mandatory to its identity,
00:10:39the healthiest thing that the creators can do is completely do away with it before familiar expectations start creating problems.
00:10:45And that starts now because the crew is here because Aang had a team avatar and so Korra needs a team avatar.
00:10:51No, really, that's the in-universe reason.
00:10:53The arena might be shut down, but we're still a team.
00:10:56The new team avatar.
00:10:58Let's break them down one by one.
00:11:07Would have been neat.
00:11:08Can't imagine how long that would take for this behemoth.
00:11:10Yeah.
00:11:20So what do you guys think since you've all been here throughout the entire production so far?
00:11:39Hmm.
00:11:56Oh, speaking of Avatar Niva.
00:11:59Look at him!
00:12:01Look at him!
00:12:04Oh, I love this sketch.
00:12:08Hmm.
00:12:38Hmm.
00:13:08Hmm.
00:13:18I feel the Socrates are gonna use this one against you just like everything else.
00:13:21Man, oh yeah.
00:13:23Look, if I breathe the wrong way, they'll use it against me.
00:13:31Do the names Niva and Lavi have meanings? They do not.
00:13:38Hmm.
00:13:46Already imagining their interactions in my head.
00:13:48Oh yeah.
00:13:49They're very sweet with each other.
00:14:09Hmm.
00:14:13Hmm.
00:14:18Bye Lily, I got real life stuff to do.
00:14:20Alrighty.
00:14:21Alrighty.
00:14:37And due to Avatar, what the prequels did to Star Wars.
00:14:51This is how liberty dies.
00:14:54With thunderous applause.
00:15:02Okay.
00:15:22So when Korra launched with a story about equality movements led by a pathological liar that nonetheless achieved what it wanted,
00:15:27a lot of people considered that to be a touch confused.
00:15:30Which is a shame because Korra is patient zero for time and dive right in.
00:15:34Starting with Korra herself.
00:15:52Oh, wait a minute.
00:16:01I need that grody ass smirk for this.
00:16:22Hmm.
00:16:25Gilfioda?
00:16:28Oh yeah.
00:16:33Hell.
00:16:34So.
00:16:49So, uh, let's see.
00:16:56So how this is going to work is that.
00:17:00Once I finish editing the video for a section, I'm going to upload it for cryptid tier patrons.
00:17:15This will be the version without the music, unfortunately.
00:17:19Because I usually do all the music in the final editing pass.
00:17:29Hmm.
00:17:59Hmm.
00:18:22Hmm.
00:18:30Hmm.
00:18:38Hmm.
00:18:47Hmm.
00:18:53Hmm.
00:18:59Hmm.
00:19:23Hmm.
00:19:29Hmm.
00:19:50Hmm.
00:19:51Hmm.
00:19:58Compartmentalizing these videos down into individual sections makes editing them a lot less daunting.
00:20:03Like, editing a two hour video, oh good lord.
00:20:06Editing a twenty minute, uh, twenty minute, uh.
00:20:10Editing an almost thirty minute section is a lot more manageable.
00:20:13Especially given the fact that the Korra section is the biggest one.
00:20:21Hmm.
00:20:24Hmm.
00:20:39Oh.
00:20:45I hit open in new, I hit open in new window in Windows Explorer.
00:20:49And Windows Explorer fucking crashed.
00:20:53Hmm.
00:20:58Uh, let's see.
00:20:59There you go.
00:21:11Hmm.
00:21:14Hmm.
00:21:15Hmm.
00:21:27Uh, let's see.
00:21:31Who made that again?
00:21:34AVbyte, okay.
00:21:46Okay.
00:22:05So let's break them down one by one.
00:22:15Okay.
00:22:22This episode is brought.
00:22:27This episode is brought to you by.
00:22:35This episode is brought to you by.
00:22:38This episode is brought to you.
00:22:42This episode is brought to you by.
00:22:46And later on, Mako arbitrarily.
00:22:50Oh, there you are.
00:22:55Okay, be honest with me.
00:22:56Does anyone actually like my.
00:23:00And later on.
00:23:16Me.
00:23:18So part of the reason the crew ends up getting so sidelined is because.
00:23:22For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights.
00:23:45Okay.
00:24:15Okay.
00:24:25Oh, beautiful for Smuggies guys.
00:24:29Insecticide it rain.
00:24:45Okay.
00:25:10The layout resembles New York.
00:25:11There's references to multiple New York landmarks and locations.
00:25:14And the inspiration from Avatar's Chinese roots is about as token and vestigial as.
00:25:18Well, Chinatown actually.
00:25:20Yeah, it's just New York and that's.
00:25:22The four nations are meant to.
00:25:24You sure that's the guy.
00:25:26Invaded the Earth Kingdom.
00:25:27The Avatar being the check on.
00:25:32A children's ninja cartoon.
00:25:33So it feels at times like those mature anime you've heard so much about.
00:25:36Where they spliced three minutes of the human centipede into the middle of an episode of card captors.
00:25:40This rigid adherence to the status quo.
00:25:42Gotta keep one jump ahead of the red line.
00:25:45One swing ahead of the sword.
00:25:47I steal only what I can't afford.
00:26:10Where the fuck is the oppression man's late, but it also lets you keep him on as a villain while making a much better.
00:26:32The closest comparison I can find is Princess Mononoke.
00:26:41I was being used as the backdrop for a battle.
00:26:50Which are decidedly bereft of the high adrenaline catharsis of their contemporaries.
00:26:54That's not even to call Mononoke bad.
00:26:56It's just the last thing I would.
00:26:59The backdrop for talking about.
00:27:01Which is why you end up with political espionage being used as the backdrop for a battle shown in.
00:27:05Or a show about anti-fascist rebellion being used as a backdrop for talking about your feelings.
00:27:09Or a show about a world ending battle between the forces of good and the forces of darkness.
00:27:13Being used as the backdrop for codependent cat girl incest.
00:27:16Ultimately everything the characters have learned turns out to be meaningless.
00:27:19What the fuck, Richard?
00:27:50Yeah, I know.
00:28:03KABOOM
00:28:07Yes, Rico.
00:28:09Kaboom.
00:28:11I
00:28:39am the righteous hand of God, and I am the devil that you forgot.
00:28:46Of the four main antagonists in Korra, Unalaq was my favorite up until the second half of
00:28:50the season.
00:28:51So I'm going to be referring to pre-
00:28:52Oh, wait a minute.
00:29:02What is it?
00:29:03I guess I'm just so used to people telling me how to do-
00:29:06You're on the verge of cra-
00:29:07Looks like you could use some help, from the big boss of hell himself.
00:29:12What?
00:29:13It's still the fucking dumbest thing I've put in one of these.
00:29:24Oh, right, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
00:29:54to do, and the end result is a shitty version of a Kingdom Hearts boss fight. Why does this keep happening?
00:30:24Oh wait, role of CeCe.
00:31:47Despite giving their entire lives to the Air Navy, CeCe has had personal dealings with
00:32:11the Earth Queen to the point she's driving them crazy, so they're both capable and willing
00:32:15to do so.
00:32:16There's a little side character in the show that most people don't quite remember.
00:32:18Her name is Avatar Korra, a character who has previously not been opposed to extrajudicial
00:32:23murder.
00:33:54I
00:34:23did not get any sleep last night.
00:34:24I went to bed at around 2, woke up at 3, and I could not get back to sleep, it was

00:52:33Aster, alright, see ya
00:52:57I
00:53:18Like that question, let me think
00:53:20I
00:53:27Had break started right before you asked. Oh, what is the most sadistic choice a game ever gave you?
00:53:51That
00:53:58Mean where one option is sadistic or do multiple have to be where the fact that the game gave you the choice and like
00:54:06Made you make the decision at all is fucking to say it's like fucking sadistic on the part of the game
00:54:12Nuking that town of fallout 3 now, that's not a sadistic choice because it's like, you know, it's either
00:54:23Do you want to kill a whole bunch of people or not?
00:54:42I
00:55:12I
00:55:29Bioshock and killing the little sisters. Um, yeah, I guess since that's the only way you can level up your abilities
00:55:43Bg3 was pretty rough given that it's act three. No, no, no, no, no
00:55:46No, it has to be like it has to be like you get to the decision and you're like
00:55:52Wow, you're a dick
00:55:54It's not like the evil decision
00:55:57It's not the evil decision in and of itself. It's like the fact that the game is making you make this decision is itself sadistic
00:56:05I
00:56:08Follow immediately by the fight between Jack and Miranda. I didn't have enough for renegade points have Jack kill her
00:56:14He's there and still be happy with me and I didn't have enough for in it
00:56:17Renegade points to put my foot down a Miranda's bullshit without killing her loyalty to me. Ooh
00:56:23Yeah, those are tough
00:56:26You get more for sparing the little sisters, oh never mind them
00:56:31This is weird criteria
00:56:35Okay, look hang on let me show you the level let me show you the kind of thing I'm operating on on here
00:57:05You
00:57:13Now that's not a good example look
00:57:16It has Leah. It has to be a choice. That is difficult. That is like difficult and neither one makes you feel good about yourself
00:57:36All of fear and hunger does that yeah Walking Dead season one. No, it has to be a game
00:57:57A lot of endings in Elden Ring are like that
00:58:05In season one, okay, then elaborate
00:58:14Especially the children's sports mission elaborates tell me
00:58:35Oh
00:58:50Force a small girl to kill her mentor or she doesn't or she doesn't and he's forced to gradually turn into a zombie. Oh
00:58:57Oh, that's brutal
00:59:05I
00:59:35Pathologic also does a lot of that. Mm-hmm
00:59:41Makes you feel like shit for just surviving. Oh, yeah
01:00:05You
01:00:35You
01:00:39But not the company's giving the kids implants that they will permanently disfigure the children and two of the outcomes can be let a child
01:00:46You come to care about destroy himself for his family's sake or save him and let his family be poor and starving. Oh
01:00:56Ow
01:00:58You
01:01:28I
01:01:48Say riding in mgs4. Yeah
01:01:58You
01:02:18I'm back for a bit. What are we doing? Oh, what is the most sadistic choice of video game has ever forced you to make?
01:02:28Oh
01:02:43On my head it would be a hat in time for me
01:02:45There was a choice to whether or not to give an item to someone to help them take back their island
01:02:49But you risk yourself of the possibility of never making it back home if you give it. Ooh
01:02:58You
01:03:28You
01:03:58You
01:04:24I'm standing by my Mass Effect 2 example can't think of anything else
01:04:28I
01:04:58I
01:05:28You
01:05:59I
01:06:12Have one actually
01:06:13Though not a gamer. It was an husband played Witcher 3
01:06:16Backseat gaming with him. There were three witches with which task Jarrell to
01:06:21Kiss
01:06:23Kill the spirit kill the spirit of their mother if you go through with that the forest orphanage gets eaten by the witches if you
01:06:29Let her live. She saves the kids with terrorizes nearby villages
01:06:33And to the characters you invest a lot of personal care and commit suicide. Oh
01:06:37Oh that hurts
01:06:51Just loves torturing their players. Yeah obsidian can be equally obsidian can be equally sadistic in that regard
01:07:21You
01:07:29Hey, what happened to Billy Billy's gone I retired his character
01:07:42Nails bitten raw TVH. Yeah
01:07:51You
01:08:21There's something Lizzie pressured Lily into making anyway, so since she's out of the picture there's no need for yeah, that's pretty much it
01:08:51You
01:08:58It's like when she kept trying to make the Valkyrie into siblings
01:09:21I
01:09:33Guess leaves of the $100 question. What was the most sadistic choice a game gave you oh
01:09:38Yeah, that's
01:09:40Does it here's the here's the question though? Does it have to be a serious game or like?
01:09:46Can I pick some god-awful thing I played when I was 14
01:09:58Either
01:10:01A couple Mass Effect 2 killing or rewriting the geth mostly because the outcome is basically the same
01:10:08is one
01:10:09We were here when you reach the we were here is a really interesting
01:10:13Puzzle game where you have to like communicate via walkie-talkie with another person to solve puzzles at the very end
01:10:19You're you're both reunited
01:10:22And
01:10:28In order to get out of the labyrinth one of you has to stand on a weighted platform to open a gate
01:10:33Which means only one of you can leave and the other one
01:10:37and the other one has to abandon the other person forever and
01:10:41the other person forever
01:10:43and the last one
01:10:46And the last one I only half remember because it was like fucking
01:10:5218 years ago
01:10:53uh, but like but it was this
01:10:56this old rpg this old rpg maker horror game from like the early 2000s and basically at one point at
01:11:05In one of its it's one of those ones that has like 18 fucking endings
01:11:09Anyway in one of them you basically have the choice to either lie to a dying child so she can die happy or not
01:11:18But the lie itself is pretty bad I will not elaborate
01:11:22So
01:11:52So
01:11:58Was it was it lb what now?
01:12:05Wow, the second and third one are gut punching. Yep
01:12:22So
01:12:52So
01:13:01It might be lisa if it's from that series, yeah, no, definitely don't elaborate. No. No, it's uh, it's not lisa
01:13:07Lisa has a similar one has a similar choice like that. Do you hug but it's it isn't really sadistic
01:13:12It's just meaning it's just really meaningless is whether or not you hug a dying man
01:13:23So
01:13:40Just got off the phone are we talking about lisa now we're talking about sadistic choices video games have made you make
01:13:52A
01:13:54Game I play for fun. That's called 60 seconds. It's a resource management game and a cruel thing. Uh
01:13:59About it, uh is it's about nuclear apocalypse
01:14:02You send a family outside for resources to survive every time you send someone it's pain and cruelty
01:14:07Because they can just not come back. Even if all stats are perfect. You always send a family member to potential death
01:14:22So
01:14:29There's a game called dark wood that's really similar to that
01:14:52Dying light dlc nuka stated to destroy the virus and die or save the city and become a monster yourself. Ooh, that's good
01:15:22So
01:15:42We were here appears to be free on steam if anyone's curious, uh, yeah
01:15:45Yeah
01:15:47Second reminds me of inside out where bing bong jumps out of the rocket in order for joy to make it back from the
01:15:52Forgotten chasm, but he himself gets forgot
01:16:11If you were to rewrite a show you hated let's just say stevie universe, for example, how would you go about it?
01:16:15um dial back the stakes
01:16:18Remove the uh, genocidal dictators and that's about it. Really
01:16:45So
01:17:15So
01:17:45So
01:18:15So
01:18:17So
01:18:44I don't know
01:18:47I
01:19:00Haken is rally grows up to be an astronaut and on the moon. She makes a little sketch of him
01:19:03She thinks I wonder why I thought of this here
01:19:08Lizzie was pushing about the pushy about the valkyrie being siblings. Oh, yeah. Okay, so
01:19:13One of my oldest projects I was I made this when I was a teenager it was like
01:19:18It was just some some stupid
01:19:20Cosmic found family kind of kind of thing
01:19:24Um
01:19:26Which basically had like five girls all trained by all like
01:19:32Five uh, five five girls all train all trained by the same, uh by the same general
01:19:38Um
01:19:41And
01:19:43Lizzie was weirdly into the idea of like valithrea being a mom
01:19:49Despite the fact I characterized valithrea as very cold
01:19:53Hmm
01:20:04Of course by the time she had gotten she'd become familiar with all with all of these things
01:20:10like
01:20:11Two of the main characters were already married. And so i'm just like lizzie. Stop making it weird
01:20:16That's not the direction. I want to go in with them
01:20:22This is their boot camp instructor, I assume valithrea was the general. Yep
01:20:52So
01:21:11It's a metaphor for lizzie being a weirdo maybe maybe valithrea, I don't I don't know
01:21:22So
01:21:29The dreaded figure of authority to parental figure pipeline, yeah
01:21:53Psst sorry about that straw
01:22:02Familial stuff basically where you hear about it all the time at the workplace culture
01:22:05We're family when you're like, no, you're my manager
01:22:22So
01:22:28I remember liking valithrea in your old vignettes. Oh, yeah
01:22:53I have a no see it's kind of like that except she becomes the main character's cool aunt
01:22:59Nightmare mode of it's a head political figure instead of a manager. Oh lord
01:23:23I'm like
01:23:30We're finding fionna's the sole survivor of a plague with one shoe with her name on the sole of it
01:23:34That was kind of sad
01:23:40Yeah, you know
01:23:41Here's the funny part
01:23:44Here's the funny part
01:23:46I posted that
01:23:48And nobody got it
01:23:52Not a single person actually got that
01:24:07What
01:24:22Darcy's got what must have gone over my head too long
01:24:37The brain farts and now i'm confused well guys, um
01:24:43The valkyr are where you go after you die
01:24:48That was always like that was always the lore or at least that was the only lore that thing had
01:24:59Valithrea is basically the grim reaper
01:25:18Okay, that makes sense
01:25:22Oh, that's cool
01:25:26I'm gonna eat a demon. Let's see what happens
01:25:30yeah, so like
01:25:31Finding little baby fionn as the sole survivor of a plague
01:25:36She was not the sole survivor
01:25:48So
01:25:50Yeah, I high key miss those funky little valkyr
01:25:55Ouch, oh there we go. Ruby is now the first person to get it. Oh, oh, that's just sad
01:26:05I remember the designs. They were really neat. Oh, yeah, I still have them
01:26:09So
01:26:16There's valithrea
01:26:24One or two of these characters lizzies, uh, there was elephant who I basically just took
01:26:30Who I stole is who I took as collateral in the divorce
01:26:39So
01:26:53Yeah, but he lost the oc in the divorce
01:26:57Okay
01:27:11I like the other two tall buff with long hair like jasper. Uh there was suzu
01:27:20World's pointiest woman
01:27:26I
01:27:33Remember tolra for some reason anytime I think of her my brain forces me to reverse her name just to get a giggle
01:27:39I remember her suzu is peak. Yay
01:27:57I guess that she always had a point
01:28:13Justice is blind and pointy. I maybe want to be your version of deadpool. No now I didn't really I didn't have deadpool in the brain
01:28:22I had uh corvus on the brain
01:28:26So
01:28:43Thumbnail of little mary quake and cherry are one of my favorite old videos from yours. Yep
01:28:49Uh, I don't have non-evil art of fion so I guess we'll just go with this one
01:28:56Hmm
01:29:01Man people gave me so much shit for fion having long hair
01:29:16Wait, why I guess the idea the idea some people a bit of some people is like well if she's muscular that means she's gender
01:29:23Non-conforming which means she should have like a she should have like a like a comb over cut or like something
01:29:30Just one of like like three hairstyles that like gender non-conforming female characters had back then and I would look at them like guys
01:29:38She's dressed all in pink
01:29:42This is literally the pinkest woman to ever exist
01:29:54So
01:30:11Hmm
01:30:24Hmm
01:30:36And then there's azzy, I don't know why this one's all green and then there's azzy the original azzy
01:30:48People were and frankly still are so fucking unimaginative. Yeah
01:30:54Those people must have had a shit fit seeing cora's hair
01:30:58Contrary is so fucking dumb fion was great
01:31:09Azzy was always fun to write because she had a giant spider for a pet
01:31:17What inspires you to make your ocs different things at different times really
01:31:23So
01:31:38Red-headed slayer of predators. Oh, yeah
01:31:40Yeah
01:31:47There was a modern au for this like way back when and like azzy's crowding moment was
01:31:52Was shooting a pedophile in the head in broad daylight
01:31:59And not getting charged for it
01:32:04What was it a specific type of spider, uh, I have an image of it
01:32:08I have an image of azzy as a kid
01:32:11With her spider at with her spider when the spider was an infant
01:32:16but
01:32:18well
01:32:20Uh arachnophobia, oh, hang on

01:32:41So
01:33:06Was sage of alkyr no, he wasn't sage was made specifically for scars
01:33:11So
01:33:19All your ocs have cool designs, thank you
01:33:24I designed them myself. Okay. So who wants to see who wants to see who wants to see baby azzy with a baby spider?

01:34:36Quirky pet girlies

01:40:47I will give this about the valkyrie. They are a very colorful cast
01:40:51So
01:41:08I can see the warcraft influence on suzu's, uh design with those arm protectors. Oh, yeah
01:41:15I mean her whole look is that of a demon hunter
01:41:21So
01:41:26It should have been way more obvious that I was it's thinking back on my ocs
01:41:29It should have been way more obvious that I was trans. Oh hell. Yes
01:41:35Absolutely
01:41:39Only I was here when you actively talked about them when was it uh, six seven years ago, maybe
01:41:46Hmm
01:41:47You can't really mix any of them up though
01:41:49Though saying that I definitely remember people mixing up azzy and fion all the time. Yeah, I think that's um
01:41:56I think it was because mckay tended to draw azzy as buff as fion
01:42:04That was about it
01:42:12Uh, just primal please stay on topic to the stream
01:42:16Hmm
01:42:22Honestly mckay's redesigns of ellie were uh, where she really stressed that creative, uh muscle because like
01:42:31I'm about to be mean to something that was made like 10 years ago, but I don't care. This was ellie's original design
01:42:41Which is like just hot topic drow
01:42:45So
01:42:51Then mckay just went and did this
01:42:54Which already was like just the start just the start of something amazing
01:43:00I think yeah, she made this comic here
01:43:03I could put fion in a little doctor's outfit
01:43:08No one wants to see that I do
01:43:15And then that evolved into this
01:43:38Got that improvement
01:43:46I was there when you got that fan art on stream. Oh, wow. Just an amazing glow up. I love the forest the setting. Yep
01:43:57Michaela's just a great artist
01:44:15So
01:44:28I used to see my stories aren't as wholesome as lily as a failing on my part between
01:44:33Arcs of this social circle i've learned to embrace my cringy edgelord shit poster sensibilities
01:44:38Yeah
01:44:39Uh, we actually gave this version of ellie a boy a boyfriend like a uh a satyr
01:44:44Who we designed off of this guy from wow?
01:44:57I really want to commission something for mckay. Unfortunately, I can't eat art. Yeah
01:45:14So
01:45:26He friendly
01:45:33You know what I like men getting picked
01:45:39Oh, oh she's probably done creative things with that staff
01:45:44So
01:45:58If I just start wearing headphones
01:46:10I just like all the twigs in her hair
01:46:14So
01:46:36Any kinky facts about your other ocs
01:46:38Well, if you want to add if you want to ask dirty questions about uh about my ocs by all means go right ahead
01:47:08So
01:47:39Yeah, well it says he's oh boy and it isn't even my isn't even my birthday
01:47:50Hold on let me get my monocle and my fan. Uh, you're all silly
01:48:08So
01:48:10Oops
01:48:38So
01:48:51What did azzy do do to set up her first
01:48:59Set up her first time nice roses, uh on the bed bed or on the couch
01:49:03Uh that would depend on which azzy you're talking about
01:49:09If I remember correctly fion
01:49:14If I remember correctly fion is an absolute bottom right fion is a switch
01:49:19Who alternates between top and bottom? Uh fion does?
01:49:25You're gonna have to you're gonna have to specify a work because like
01:49:29If i'm trying to remember everything off the top and I want to put on the spot. I forget who my fucking characters are
01:49:39So
01:49:47If you're gonna ask a question ask about a specific character
01:49:52Otherwise i'm just i'm gonna sit here for like 10 minutes trying to think of your answer
01:50:08So
01:50:24Asana's first time uh set up. Um
01:50:30There wasn't really a setup it was basically drunk sex after prom
01:50:38So
