Maybe I'm Wrong - Blog Posts

What should have been a shower thought but it's actually a just-before-going-to-sleep thought:

As far as I know, there's no historical recording about why is hide and seek a thing. Sure, we have our childhood memories, our parents sharing theirs, stories of children playing it from XVIII century to Middle Age, but never a reason for the game on itself. One could say it's for fun, but the rules are:

•If you seek: You wait for them to hide while standing on a certain spot, and you have to catch ALL of the players to win

•If you hide: You are not to be found, and you must reach a certain spot to win.

Now, what does it reminds you of?

Any particular event?

Or maybe a lot of events?

What I'm getting at is, as chess is a child-friendly recreation of wars during Feudalism, hide and seek might as well be a representation of the mythical Trojan war or the neverending conquerors-conquered territories dynamic.

Just a little fandom rant-

For some reason a lot of wormfic seems to feature a trope or piece of fanon centered around a "Dragontech cell phone/computer/whatever" and it bugs me. Doesn't Dragon's power explicitly prevent mass production? And wouldn't her breaking into the tech sphere with Tinker-made cell phones have issues with NEPEA-5 or whatever? And being Tinker-tech, wouldn't it be impossible to be commercially viable due to maintenance? I know it's a convenient way to handwave the lack of visible tech companies or recognizable products, but it feels like a lazy workaround. Earth Bet can have a little Steve Wozniak, as a treat. Or a Bill Gates, or whomever. And like it's *always* Dragon, there's never another Tinker who specializes in telecommunications and commercial touchscreen devices.

Just a little irksome thing.
