So we're equating sentient wind chimes with terrorist organizations now?
Just to be clear, people keep treating what are effectively sentient immortal tornadoes as of they should have human morals, human values, and human motivations.
Guys. Seriously. They're sentient immortal tornadoes.
When a tornado hits your house, it's not being malicious. It's not being a dick. It's being a tornado. You were just in the way.
People keep attributing these byzantine plots and motivations to the elementals, and seem to refuse to acknowledge that we're dealing with completely inhuman demigods. It reminds me of some of the Furies in Forgotten Realms, but I digress.
A certain lore kitty pointed out to me last night that the Elementals have existed at least 10000 years, and during that time have watched mankind repeatedly come within inches of destroying the world. But people expect them to just trust us, because, hey, we're different!Â
Right. I'm sure no one's ever told them that before.
And further, while we're talking about how the elementals "stole" White Magic, let's shed a tear for those poor bastards on other continents who had to die because the Amdapori couldn't stop coming up with new and innovative ways to blow each other up. Cuz Eorzea wasn't the only place that flooded, y'all.Â
This rant has been brought to you by Android, Gmail, and my lack of caffeine. <3
Edited because my phone doesn't let me delete things so there was a mis-applied quote tree.
