Lappland - Tumblr Posts
Il Siracusano’s gameplay really disappointed me. The story was fantastic, but Blood Debt just felt like a thing that was there. You can’t really mitigate it except by protecting civilians, and you can’t really play around it. It’s like an annoying version of Imprisonment from Mansfield.
I think one thing that would really have fixed things would have been giving it an interaction with Silence and Stun. Like, make it go harder in general, but if you’ve stunned an enemy they don’t increase Blood Debt when they die, and make all the moves that increase able to be silenced. Not only would that be more interesting to play with, but it’d also be thematic. Texas’ signature moves inflict stun, and Lappland is the queen of silence; they’re the ones who know how to deal with the mafiosi.
It's crazy how despite how awful Twitter is, someone referencing "Twitter users" deprecatingly on another site is a good indicator for them being the worst person alive.
It's never about the Nazis, JKR brigade, or even just crypto bros. It's just the new way to say "SJW" in the 2020s. Or maybe "Tumblrinas" now that nobody uses Tumblr.
This was smth I've been noticing for a while but I got reminded of it again coming across this Reddit thread
The pattern just keeps holding
Lappland's E2 art shows a large amount of crystal formation on her right leg—it should be affecting her movement, but she's good enough that most might not notice. But someone like Shining would.
"Miss Lappland. Have you ever considered using a cane?"
"'Scuse me? The fuck would I do with a cane?"
"The Originum deposits in your right leg show no signs of slowing their growth. A cane will decrease the stress on that leg, and potentially -- "
"Nah, fuck right off. I already got everything I need." Lappland motions to the swords still strapped to their hip, sticking awkwardly out from the exam chair.
"You also favor your left side significantly when you fight."
"Fuck you. Don't talk to me about swordfighting."
"I've seen you fight. You prefer the Cabaretti school, but your leg can't withstand the footwork, and you're scrambling to adapt. You tried Sicilian briefly, but that conflicts with your dual wielding."
"How the fuck -- "
"You should look into Floren/Guilder, or Meletieas. I find they tend to favor those with limited mobility."
"...Who the hell are you?"
Shining smiles gently. "No one of consequence. Just a wandering doctor, trying to care for those in need."
