Question: If someone tells you to do whatever's necessary in order to ensure you don't crystalise from chroma deprivation, what does that mean to you?

you'd think if they were being chosen, they'd go for people who are actually readily willing to moonlace... （─。─）
but i don't think we'll find out any actual facts for a while

maybe you keep making friends with heroic types
it's kind of a thing with them ヽ(●´Д｀●)ﾉ
but at least you're reminding them~

[Ren has dealt with that sort of behaviour on a world-risking level too many times to be very tolerant about it anymore.]

[peerlesscucumber]

Hidden capacities! Much surprise! Big wao!

In other words, maybe they do, once they can allow themselves to do so.

Ah, yes, that isn't wrong to say... though perhaps not accurate. More of those inclined to specific understandings of what a hero might be do seem to struggle more with things.

here let me get that for you

[Which is followed by whatever the Prismal equivalent of the Doge meme is with that first line of Qingqiu's message written on it, except with the appropriate (nonexistent) grammar.]

anyway it seems like it'd be impractical to wait for those people to marinate about it for a couple of months ＼⍩⃝／

what, you mean ones that are trying to be cliched heroes instead of just naturally being heroic (・・？)
or at least that's what it sounds like when you word it that way

[peerlesscucumber]

Lunatia truly has it all... The dog even sparkles. Very wao indeed!

Ah, I think we need to start with: what do you define as heroic? What is a personality or expectation of behaviour for one you deem heroic?

[thedarkbond]

much wow ₍ᐢ•ﻌ•ᐢ₎*･ﾟ｡

i mean usually when i call someone heroic it's because they're being the stereotype ╮(─▽─)╭
putting their life on the line unnecessarily and being really dramatic about their ideals

[peerlesscucumber]

Dramatic about ideals, maybe, but the idea of heroic I have has to deal with being decisive, possibly ruthless, crushing opposition, following their path in spite of the difficulties along the way, persisting through hardships, and coming out on top despite it all.

Our definitions have a bit of a difference, really, though one acting heroic might put their life on the line when not needed... but they tend to find that doing so is not outside the strong possibility of them surviving. Dramatic about ideals can be just about anyone, even the most mundane.

[thedarkbond]

mmm, the "ruthless" and "crushing opposition" stuff doesn't tend to go down so well in my world ＼| ￣ヘ￣|／
we'd call that a conqueror rather than a hero
even though i do like reading about conquerors from the past myself~

i don't think it means as much if they know they're going to survive...
but since i was talking about stereotypes, those are a bit shallow anyway (∗´꒳`)
