Hot take, but you never needed Yoshi P’s, or anyone’s for that matter, permission to do what you wanted. But the devs can’t keep their own lore straight, and I believe it was more a over-arching message of “do what makes you happy” rather than this is absolute canon now.
I wasn’t going to say anything but it’s almost 4am and I keep seeing posts about this reblogged and I’m salty. Don’t use this as an excuse to attack folks who like adhering to a stricter set of rules than you do. That “elitism” is a two way road. If someone declines to RP with your character from the First, character who’s traveled to the First, or whatever, it’s okay. It should be okay. You don’t get to say “Well Yoshi P said I’m right—!” The above scenario (declining RP) does not make someone an elitist.
I am not, nor will I ever condone policing someone’s fun. It’s about respect. Personally, I find fun in RPing in a world with certain limitations and like the challenge of finding ways to make stories in a world with pre-existing rules. Other people like more freedom. All the power to you.
If an expansion down the line wants to prove me wrong, I’ll happily accept it. But I’m not taking this statement as law, because it ain’t. Again, I reiterate, I believe he is encouraging people to create what they want, how they want. Which I agree with. What I don’t agree with is how many people seem to think that means they can force someone else to accept it as validation.
Seriously. Do what you want. Everyone else is. Agree to disagree. Don’t be a dick. Have fun.
“…the cat was soon forgiven, for on the 19th she presented [Erebus] with three kittens. ‘Such an event as that you may think nothing of, but to us it is a great deal, for a kitten tends to relieve the monotony of such a cruise as this,’ [John Davis wrote]. The next day ‘they were shown on a warmed clean plate to Captain Ross.”
—Michael Palin, Erebus
At long last: an exasperated James Clark Ross and two of the ship’s kittens. I promise that Francis Crozier is just off screen, laughing at him but also finding the whole thing rather endearing.
Edit: I’m sorry if you already reblogged this but I realized my phone’s contrast/balance was off! So I re-uploaded the picture in a more appropriately-saturated version.
I come back to find my dash filled with an argument about shipping in the show Chernobyl. Okay.
Waitwhat

They are, apparently, shipping Legosov…you know, the one who had his health and life ruined at Chernobyl and killed himself 2 years later…and Shcherbina.
You will note that these are both real people who went through hell during the disaster, along with uncounted thousands more, and according to the search here I wish I’d never made, people are claiming “Its just a TV show calm down” when people point this out.
Imma need these folks who think that this is cool to go tell a few folks in Belarus and Ukraine that Chernobyl is “just a TV show,” and will help bury the corpses after they are immediately killed.
