    What's with the words that display over the map sometimes? Like after when you talk with Lakshmi at night.

    The sheer memetic value of loli breeding farms almost makes Skadi worth it.

    Almost.

    Being erased because you fuck up a little sounds worse than getting eaten by a giant.

    Skadi is the worst conceptualized Lostbelt "king". Sync up Scatty and Skadi because of JP pop culture memes and a contemporary thesis.

    Although this reminds me, what's the nature of Freyja and Bryn's relationship? I can't remember if there's an actual correlation or if I just imagined it.

    Probably. Didn't want to use LB4 as an example since I'm a bit unclear on how the specifics of it work.

    In the end that's a given. I don't personally feel all that bad about it since the circumstances of their world's not being pruned makes getting rid of that tree before the Alien god gets what he wants as well as the questionable conditions of the lostbelts (the fact that all of their maintainance so far has been rather questionable with varying levels of dictatorships keeping things under control helps), but in the end you're still going to interact with the residents of this town and Mash is an overly sensitive person.

    I am reasonably certain that the only reason they glued Scathach to her was whalebait. Same reason they saved her for the anniversary.

    Skadi as herself would have been fine as the LB king.

    Even though she saved quick memes, I still haven't forgiven them for not releasing an actual anniversary Servant for the 3rd anniversary.

    If only Chaldea decided to stop making friendly with the locals, but nope, that's just the way they be.

    Or at least not as uniformly bad. Pan-Human History seems to be distinguishable by its diversity as compared to the LBs.

    I think the main argument Nasu wanted to show in lb4 is that what arjuna is doing, arbitrarily throwing away things that "aren't necessary" is a micro look at how the pruning system is. Just instead of arujuna we have us deciding what's necessary and what isn't. Instead of people being gone, it's entire timelines.
    Either way LB4 is all about being a hypocrite in this sense.
    Okay, so Arjuna snapped the dog. We snapped that dog in every single timeline that diverged too far.

    One's existential dread and the other is a primal fear (of being eaten). In this case, I'd fear more the existential one, even though it's not as concretely painful/hellish as the more grounded fate.

    Also, really its the Alien God's fault these LBs have been dredged up from the trash folder where they languished in obscurity, not deleted completely by the World. If not for it, these LBs could have continued their own business and no one would get erased.

    You still need a place to stay and food to eat though.

    Personally, I'd befriend the locals just to give myself more fuel to avenge them against the Alien God.
