SSO blog Masterpost

Hello!

We’ve had another big wave of new sso blogs, as well as a few people messaging me and asking to be removed from the old SSO blog Masterpost, so I figured we should redo it completely to clear out any outdated blogs and blogs that might not want to be on it anymore.

Reblog this post and I will add your name to a masterpost of all ssoblr blogs that can be linked to new members asking about who to follow, as well as act as a reference for older members to look through and find new blogs they might not have seen yet :)

Come get your gamebreaking crab before the servers revive

Found this book in Fripp’s room...

catherine’s memories-thoughts

spoilers below the cut for catherine’s memories

so i was both happy and a little underwhelmed by the ending. I did like that justin came along for the last memory, because it added a nice touch into the narrative. i’m probably going to make a full length post soon elaborating, but I thought the conclusion of this story was beautiful, with some story elements a touch out of left field.

however, I do have an issue with one thing. i didn’t like the whole “everyone’s special and can conduct Aideen” angle they went for. The message is great out of game, but game-wise, it seems odd. @writingonjorvik made a good point, in that this reveal takes away the mc’s uniqueness amongst NPCs. there isn’t really a reason why we are the mc, since NPC’s can also accomplish what we can.  like, i think this angle would work in a medium(movie, TV) that wasn’t so interactive, but i digress. 

i do think that catherine has a limited understanding of Aideen, however. in the southern harvest counties memory, we see Evergray perform magic to draw out Aideen. this doesn’t work, and we see Catherine’s horse Nemo disappear into the light of Aideen, breaking their bond. It seems to be implied that Catherine also went too close, as she disappeared briefly. since Aideen had the bond between horse and rider, and Catherine lost that, I think her understanding of Aideen shattered. Since she got too close to both light and darkness, she only sees the parts of Aideen, not herself as Aideen. this is also sort of based on @writingonjorvik‘s post about Aideen’s gift, as I liked Amelia’s thoughts on catherine’s incomplete understanding of Aideen. I highly recommend you read the post, which I will link at the end.

overall, I thought the ending was great. I did like the implication at the end that the previous incarnations of Aideen are all in the light of Aideen, along with catherine. I still have some questions, but overall, I thought the ending fit.
