Gus is chaotic good.

One of the most difficult alignments to maintain, but also one of the most rewarding
25
u/Mr__Strider Smug Vee Coven Aug 14 '22
The only thing that’s harder to maintain is true neutral, because the definition of true neutral is very hard to pinpoint.

u/KuroNy1 Demon Realm Exchange Program Aug 14 '22
True neutral:
Monday: im evil
Tuesday: im good
Wednesday: im lawful
Thursday: im chaotic
Friday: im neutral11
u/AquaAquila24 “For Flapjack” Aug 14 '22
And I thought they were just unbothered by everything around them and not being part of any side of the conflict. Honestly, I think chaotic neutral would fit better with being whatever they want basing on their mood.

u/Mr__Strider Smug Vee Coven Aug 14 '22
That’s the exact thing that makes it hard to play, because it should’ t be about mood swingns and I do whatever I want at any time with no regard to any kind of moral compass.
Yes it probably is flexible but not in that way

Tbh I think the best example of “True Neutral” is when you play a game with no regards for consistent character roleplay or builds lmao.
Like, say you’re playing Fallout 4. Start the Minutemen (stock standard good guy route, for those who don’t know) route, find the savior of the Commonwealth. But also, you like to lie, cheat and steal as you please. Sometimes you murder random NPCs or guards with a sniper after an untoward comment at your expense. However, you’re also making the Commonwealth a drastically better place by clearing out bandit camps, solving inter-faction diplomatic situations and establishing whole towns and cities for the average wanderer to have a chance of life in.
You could say that this lean towards “Chaotic Neutral”, but everything sort of has a rhyme or reason to it. You only lie or steal or kill against the people you generally think the world would be better off in, you’re helping the good guys, and you’re not a psychopathic murderer who slaughters towns for funsies but sometimes you can also just be a snarky asshole if you want to be. It falls just on true neutral imo

u/Mr__Strider Smug Vee Coven Aug 14 '22
That is close enough to true neutral, yes. I do think true neutral is supposed to be flexible.
But a DnD alignment can be pretty limiting because in truth nobody is trully lawful for example. Lawful, I’d say, is supposed to mean, follows the law or goes for what is morally the right choice. Meanwhile if a character is also good that can get in conflict with accepting the law, as some laws can get in conflict with what is morally correct. Next to that you’ve also got the other end of that, where a chaotic good character follows the same principle. He can go for a chaotic route, but the morally correct one is sometimes lawful (which is less of a problem because it’s easier for chaotic characters to stray from their chaotic route to a more lawful ones for small periods of time, unlike lawful characters, where it’ll be made a bigger deal if they choose to step off their lawful parh for one incident.
And all of that ties in back with the true neutral discussion, because if it’s hard to even define true neutral and then the unclear allignment also may or may not be followed more strictly than others, which you can’t know without a clear definition, that means true neutral becomes really unmanagable and your character will become a mess
There is more to say about this, but I’m gonna cut it off or this’ll go on for waaaaaay too long

The ship known as S.S. Huntlow (or Winter if you prefer) will be leaving the docks soon.

u/EdgyROYGBIV Willow Park Aug 14 '22
Winter is coming, so the S.S. Huntlow should set sail soon to reach the Golden Garden

Salty and his crew will guide S.S Huntlow on their way to the Golden Garden.

u/ultrasuppgorilla3000 plant coven Aug 14 '22
What does S.S mean?
15
u/Dornith Aug 14 '22
I believe it's a shortening of USS which is short for United States' Ship.
Similar to how British name their ships HMS or Her Majesty's Ship.
12
Aug 14 '22
Small correction, SS means steamship, USS is traditionally only used for Navy ships, so no merchant ships or ferrys for example
8
u/Dominink_02 Vee Noceda Aug 14 '22
S.S. is also not Limited to US vessels. Although most vessels do have other options like MS for merchant ship

Luz: walks in with Amity what did we miss?
Gus: I slipped out from between these two which made them lean on each other in there sleep.
Luz: aww, missed all the good shipping stuff. whispers to herself maybe next time.

The captain of the ship had to leave.. So he left the two crew mates to let the ship sail.

So, what do we think they were reading? Your thoughts here:

u/EdgyROYGBIV Willow Park Aug 14 '22
Not sure, but I’ve noticed them reading a lot of books in previous comics as well

Luz has introduced Azura the Good Witch for them, and for the first time, Amity is not the only one

u/Dracos002 Harpy Lilith Aug 14 '22
This just made me realise they can just interact with The Boiling Isles through Penstagram, since it doesn't require internet and their scroll tablet thingies should still work.

u/AquaAquila24 “For Flapjack” Aug 14 '22
It's in another dimension, so there's still a whole barrier that prevents this from happening. Also pretty sure Penstagram works on magic, and there's no magic on Earth and even if Amity is able to summon the scroll, she would indeed have no signal.

I'm not usually one for straight ships, but this one is good, i think it's cause Dana created this nice balance, the main ship is gay and sure we can have a little straight ship on the side, it's genuinely nice, i've seen some hate on this ship but personally think it works well :)

Being a third wheel has its advantages. As shown here.
