When Allison plays Mottom's skeleton like a xylophone, she hit the same rib twice, but it clearly made 2 different tones. I hope someone was fired for this

I feel like entering Hard Nerdom should require agreeing that the answer to every "Why doesn't X just do Y instead???" question is "because it would be very boring".

Or alternatively "because that would be a different story" (which I'm sure I've seen at least one book do directly in narration to explain why a particular thing happened instead of something else)

Certainly that's what I kept telling myself about TTGL every time I got sad about it being so bittersweet. Gainax fixed that in any case by doing an absolute shitload of AU stories in the form of comics, audiobooks, and animated shorts.


If all else fails, go read/write a fanfic. That's what it's for.

I've long been fascinated with how the alt-right develops elaborate and obscure dog whistles to try to communicate their meaning without having to say it out loud
Stepan Andreyevich Bandera being the most prominent example of that
A hallmark of bad writing is when characters ignore the obvious response to something because it creates more drama. That doesn't mean that stories where people make poor decisions are bad though. People aren't perfect rational agents; The good stories just use it as an excuse to explore the psychology or circumstances that lead to those decisions.

hello i am your heart how nice to meet you
The idea that X should just go kill Y because X has a higher power level is stupid anyway. A grizzly bear probably has a higher power level than a cougar, but you don't see bears hunting cougars outside of extreme circumstances because the risk of a cougar getting a bite in and seriously inconveniencing the bear is too great when there's tons of much weaker prey out there for both of them to pursue*. I imagine it's the same situation between two powerful opponents in this story: why risk confrontation with a powerful foe when there are countless defenseless worlds to plunder/SINNERS to punish.

*In googling around to make sure I'm not full of poo poo here, I DID find out that bears will steal the poo poo out of cougars' kills, though.

Joe Demiurge: Well, the previous N demiurges were knocked silly by Allison after having invited her into their confidence, but I'm certain I can convince her of my rightness.
