Everytime I ignore the impending doom in my life I feel like Klaus Kinski in the scene from Fitzcarraldo where the native americans are smashing drums angrily when seeing his ship and he just plops a Caruso record onto his gramophone and drowns it out mentally and looks only slightly satisfied because the doom never goes away

Every morning I wake up and I feel like the part of The Soft Bulletin where Feeling Yourself Disintegrate leads into Sleeping on the Roof and Wayne's voice just echoes the title of the song one last time and then it just gets painfully quiet and the crickets start chirping

No, I don't think that's quite right.

You see, back in 1423 I.D.E. when the Imperial Strelkan Navy confronted the Royal Talian Navy off of Thykera, the point of the battle was not to inflict a defeat upon the Talian Navy. The Strelkan High Command was much, much smarter than that.

You see, the Talians had a bit of a reputation of themselves among themselves, which is kind of arrogant if you ask me. They had this feeling of invincibility, that no one could sink a single ship of the Talian Navy. As arrogant as it might seem and as I might make it out to be, it was a significant morale booster. Even as the odds became more and more with the Laikans joining the Strelkans, letting their southern fleet join the fight against the Talians and even as the Reinen offensive starting grinding to a halt after the Battle at Lythnia and even after the fall of Albernia, the Talians did not waver.

All the Strelkans had to do was show the world that the Talian Navy was not, in fact, invincible. Though they were forced to rout after suffering three times as many casualties as the Talians (two battleships, three cruisers, six destroyers), the Talian mindset through the rest of the war would be to hole up on their little island and put everything into stopping a Strelkan-Laikan joint invasion. Reine would succumb as its soldiers started mutinying once the offensive stalled and started being pushed back, and the war would be won for Strelka.

So, it wasn't that the Talians didn't care - they just believed too much in themselves in the first place.

You can also blame their command for being dumb. They failed to assess the numbers and realize that an invasion was impossible because Talia still controlled the seas and airspace anywhere an amphibious invasion could've taken place.

I came expecting a Dark Souls joke.

I'm disappointed.

I would reply to this like your other posts but I'm an uncultured swine so I don't know what you're talking about :(

Don't worry, it's literally something I've made up completely from scratch, so I don't think anyone knows what I'm talking about.
Also don't bully yourself like that <3
