I keep hate-reading plague literature from the medieval era, but as depressed as it makes me there is always one historical tidbit that makes me feel a little bittersweet and I like to revisit it. That’s the story of the village of Eyam.
Please reblog to make sure everyone is equipped!
The Nopon from Xenoblade are the funniest fucking species of cutesy creatures in any RPG because they're all a bunch of assholes. You look at their adorable little faces and think they're innocent and kind. No!! They have jobs! They have children! They fuck!!!
They have an entire village tradition where they designate one Nopon to be the village's hero, except it's all bullshit and they're just sending their most problematic villager to go get killed in battle so they stop being a pain in the ass.
There's several side quests where a Nopon will ask you go to kill a family of wild animals for no reason other than it's annoying them. There's an entire underground drug cartel in the Nopon village.
Nopon should be an example for other rpgs on how to make the funniest npcs.
guess you could call that a. shippy cup
