Setting aesthetic
Gabiluzbad
two giants are fighting
Gabiluzbad
They are hundreds of miles tall
Gabiluzbad
And moving so slowly
Gabiluzbad
The cities grow on their arms mid punch
Bolt Vanderhuge
...I think that's Xenoblade Chronicles?
Bolt Vanderhuge
Or something like it, anyway
Gabiluzbad
I know fuck all about Xenoblade Chronicles
Princess Emily
I think the "moving so slow that civilizations flourish in between blows" is pretty distinct
Princess Emily
in Xenoblade they live on the bodies of giants that died in battle
Gabiluzbad
The cities are like
Gabiluzbad
build to be able to move
Gabiluzbad
built*
Gabiluzbad
But they still stay sedentary for years at a time while slowly watching the other giant get closer
Bolt Vanderhuge
Ah, okay, they were already dead
Bolt Vanderhuge
I thought they were still alive
Gabiluzbad
It wasn't Xenoblade because it was ME! I AM THE CREATOR OF THIS UNIVERSE! ITS EXISTENCE CONTINUES OR ENDS ON MY WHIM
Dragons Dragons
that is cool
dragon time
Like slightly faster tectonic plates
Niamh Vibes
A young girl listens to stories from her grandfathers, who whispers of how the city on the fist and the city on the shoulder used to be so much farther away from each other
Princess Emily
oh man,
Princess Emily
you know what'd be cool?
Princess Emily
it's so slow still that even when the giants DO hit each other, that just creates a bridge
Princess Emily
so that civilizations on either one can cross over
Gabiluzbad
At first
Gabiluzbad
Then the impact really starts to hit home and like mountains are formed
Princess Emily
intercontinental trade that only occurs every couple generations or whatever
Quinneapolis
how long is a punch on the order of
Quinneapolis
a decade? a century? a millennium?
Gabiluzbad
let's say a century
Gabiluzbad
It takes a hundred years to throw a punch
Bolt Vanderhuge
Oh man
Bolt Vanderhuge
Think of it this way
Bolt Vanderhuge
When the societies start calculating where the next Fistfall will land
Bolt Vanderhuge
And then evacuating that region
Bolt Vanderhuge
Sometimes it's not an event but other times it might hit a city
Bolt Vanderhuge
And imagine the massive shift in life and potential conflict caused by constant Fistfalls every century or so
Gabiluzbad
Not to mention that like
Gabiluzbad
if you live near the elbow
Gabiluzbad
your neighbor will be getting slowly further away
Gabiluzbad
as the arm extends
Echo
Holy shit, that's hardcore.
