Random Worldbuilding thought on Samata's universe
Snake-Kun
Now NOT private to the Anglerfish plotting clique
Snake-Kun
But like
ArtIsArt
/sits here
Snake-Kun
I made Samata's main adversary
Snake-Kun
Basically Evil Catholics
Snake-Kun
They have a church
Snake-Kun
They have an inquisition
Snake-Kun
They have priests
Snake-Kun
etc
Snake-Kun
I also made the ultimate expression of the Church's power by Golems
Snake-Kun
As like
ArtIsArt
They're like roman catholics on steroids.
Snake-Kun
blessed constructs that act as the will of Istavan
Snake-Kun
They look like walking churches
Snake-Kun
And in hindsight
Snake-Kun
That's a little messed up
Snake-Kun
Considering how the Golem is a JEWISH creation
ArtIsArt
They don't need that name?
Snake-Kun
Yeah I could certainly change it
Snake-Kun
Mainly I'm just like "Huh"
Snake-Kun
"I sure did that"
ArtIsArt
Yeah, I've seen worse, but I've seen better too.
ArtIsArt
Unless they acquired them from a culture they rolled over ages back, which might make sense.
Snake-Kun
No in lore they are VERY much Istavan's invention
Echo
Yeah, that's probably something that could stand to be reworked, but it's an easy enough change.
ArtIsArt
It's been a while, sorry.
Echo
Maybe call them bastions or constructs or something?
ArtIsArt
Bastions I -like-.
moontouched
or Rooks after the chess piece
moontouched
since you're going full Evilchurch
Echo
Ooh, that's a good one.
Echo
...Rooks with bishops in them.
expired milk
I thought it was an intentional "church is culturally appropriating what else is new" thing, but yeah. These changes make sense and are cool.
ArtIsArt
Rooks is also cool!
Snake-Kun
Rooks
Snake-Kun
That's fucking genius
Snake-Kun
they are now officially called Rooks
ArtIsArt
I dig it.
ArtIsArt
I'll rewrite that blurb I did.
Snake-Kun
Yeah when I was making it I was just like "IT'S A BIG STONE MONSTER SO GOLEM"
Echo
Admittedly, the idea of golems not needing to be human-shaped is still pretty cool. It's just the specific context that's unfortunate.
Echo
In a different story, I think a synagogue golem that defends people who take shelter inside it would be really cool.
Snake-Kun
The look I had in mind I always had trouble describing
Snake-Kun
Fortunately the game Death's Door captured it perfectly with the first boss:
Snake-Kun
Death's Door Guardian of the Door Boss Fight
Snake-Kun
Roughly humanoid but covered in spires and stained glass windows and shit
ArtIsArt
And Albin killed one because fuck you that's why.
Snake-Kun
(The Rooks don't have lasers though)
