rpanons | Trapped in the city of one loo

Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

And alternate realities that aren't just dimensions/time warping, given Zero's commentary about Azure Demiurge and having tried a thousand different versions of Zemuria and that's the only one that had things go well. Given the tetracyclic towers are already hooked to another dimension surely it wouldn't be too hard to actually connect to another dimension.

Actually that might be a good setup right there since they both have interest in the towers, be it for archaeology or Sept-terrion. And when facing themselves there's no reason not to be honest about their reasons to be there and goals for the future! Why lie to yourself?! (I have issues with Weissmann and his goals and how they are both fairly altruistic in the not-really-benefitting-himself sort of way, and still utterly evil)

oh my god i didn't even know that about Zero. WHAT THE HECK ZEMURIA WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP THERE WITH YOUR RELICS AND YOUR TIMELINE RESETS

tosses this your way...

oh my god i know. weissmann has decent reasoning based on what he personally researched and he has at least reasonably altruistic intentions (he'd probably subject himself to the same process too because HAHA FUCK EMOTIONS GUYS WHAT ARE THOSE), he wants to uplift humanity so nobody ever dies or falls into depravity or whatever

it's just. the way he goes about it is horrific. sparking off wars and conflict to shape everything into just how he wants it so he can get to the result, and as a result thinking that killing lots of people in the present is an acceptable sacrifice to lift humanity in the future, is awful. and he just. doesn't comprehend that maybe killing lots of people for a future cause is shitty and horrible

its also honestly the planning of someone who hasnt like, emotionally connected with another person for decades. weissmann is an emotional shitshow

Yeah, he's very much 'ends justify the means' sort, and he's willing to do anything including die to see the rest of humanity (or at least the ones that survive what he's up to) progress. Can't make an omelette, etc!

Zero/Ao reveal some other things that also shaped how I see Weissmann and his actions, but it seriously crosses into spoiler territory, not sure it belongs on RPA.
