It was never explicitly stated, but the whole process of making a Gunslinger is to take someone who was Destined to be a Lover, and turn them into a Weapon.
The Psychos get sent west. The murderers get sent west.
The Gunslingers kill with their Hearts. Deal Death to monsters and defend those who can't defend themselves. You can't give that kind of responsibility to someone destined to be a Monster.
That's why all cops are Bad. They kill with their Gun, shoot with their gun, and aim with their hand. They've forgotten their Purpose in this world, and have become Monsters.
The creators of Untitled Goose Game intentionally didn't include cops in their game, or put a crown on the postboxes.
I think throughout my gender journey, I've always identified more with the Epithets.
Like, I'm Queer and othergendered, Sure, but none of the Polite words for it quite line up.
It's like saying 'I'm a Democratic Socialist" when you're really a Tree Loving, War-stopping, Composting nut Hippie left over from a bygotten age. Like, sure, Bernie, Yay. When are we mandating composting toilets for general use to re-enrich the carbon in our topsoils?
I'm a Dirt-worshiping Hermaphrodite.
basically if we don't do something to replenish the carbon content of our arable land, sooner or later the soil will die and become merely dirt — like you'd find on the moon or Mars. We could kill two birds with one stone here, taking carbon from the atmosphere where there's too much of it, and putting it in the soil where there's not enough. Anyway that's my amateur ecology lesson for the day.
I had a vision the other day, and just now understood the important part.
I'd Noticed the faerie wood at the back of a Cul-De-Sac neighborhood cut into the forests I grew up in while I was looking for a place to turn the car around.
The folken there acted startled, and even asked what I Was. I told them, and they seemed a bit surprised.
I think they'd never seen a human shaman before, just the people who live in the Boxes. To Them, -I- was the mythical creature.
tired: iron is harmful to fae because of unspecified magic intrinsic properties
wired: iron is harmful to fae because of its chemical properties
inspired: iron is harmful to fae specifically because it is physically the stuff of the human Industrial Revolution, a social restructuring event with broadly devastating effects on human adherence to the core values of the fae. for this reason, iron is suffused with a palpable curse that arises from its position as a symbol of human callousness.
Plurality / HRT
As a trinary plural system with genders that line up more with a Secret Of Mana main character list than anything normal, it's odd as hell that Estrogen has stuck 'The Boy' in front.
Again, it's a relative internal co-ordinate here. I'm from the Bishounen Dragon Tribe, where everyone's chefs and artists and musicians. I ended up good at cutting metal with my brain.
Not that any of us mind, just irritating that for everyone else they get their inner girl popping out, and for us, it means she can finally get some sleep.
Southern Mass's local machine healer and part time witchdoctor.
Tiny motorcycles, magic potions, machine tools, progressive rock, trance states, and hand sharpened drill bits. Oh, and I read Tarot. Probably 18+ just to be sure.
