can't believe you got through all of this without mentioning the fact that the hot ranger lady gives you a demon/god/cat std and her boyfriend's niece also gets it because she drank her blood
imagine ur garthy o’brien, just trying to fuck this hot ranger you met at your brothel that you own, except her teenage kids/wards/bosses keep knocking on the door to your bedroom and interrupting you guys and THEN you learn that she’s actually in a committed relationship but didn’t tell you, so THAT sucks but THEN one of the teens comes and finds you in the middle of the night yelling about how his friend is gone and they can’t find him and he might be in danger, so you help him teleport to his friend, and then when they all get back, looking extremely upset and dejected, you apologize to the ranger’s daughter for making her feel uncomfortable by fucking her mother and in the process SHE reveals to you that her mom’s boyfriend is actually this really cool werewolf guy that you KNOW and have fucked on multiple occasions
am i a total asshole for being kind of upset that they totally healed lydia? i know disabilities in fantasy are tough because there are spells that can fix everything but i get a bit sad imagining the new art of her without the gem standing up.
Class training also dissipates over the years like regular skills though so even though they can cast ninth-level spells that can alter reality, they'd have to go back through their 2000-year-old dusty spellbook and reread the whole thing. Their handwriting's completely different and there are a bunch of shorthand notes like 'u know how to do this lol imma skip this part' and 'just ask Thelementhressiel to do this one for u lmao, not worth the hassle' when Thelementhressiel perished in battle three hundred moons ago.
They get distracted going back through all their old doodles and giggling at the nostalgia and inside jokes from the time until they get reminded of that one song they loved so much that they later learned to play on the lute and suddenly all of their problems can actually be solved by them playing not that song but the one that they can actually remember the basic melody of through muscle memory. They keep playing the first two lines over and over because when they tried to play the whole song it took them like twenty seconds between chords to remember what to play, but they keep insisting to their current party that they were an excellent bard in their day-
honestly elves SHOULD be over represented in adventurer groups. like, what, you're gonna live 700 hundred years and NOT do an adventure? not even once? not even on accident?
Kidnappers: We have your father
Zuko: My father is in prison??
Kidnappers: He made us reevaluate our life choices and now we feel really bad so can you come pick him up?
Zuko: Oh my gosh, you have my uncle
Kidnappers: I’m going to become a painter
how fucking long is this guy's torso
As a bisexual, it sickens me that some people WILL keep scrolling.
i'm just saying a place where abstinence is seen as holy and is celebrated and in fact attraction is the sin? that sounds like a good place to be asexual without having to label it and face discrimination
i know this is likely an unpopular opinion since a lot of this fandom has religious trauma, but i would kill for some redemption for helio or some positive helioic representation. it'd be just good, complex worldbuilding if it were solely fiction, but since it's so referential to christianity that ally literally says jesus instead of helio on several occasions i think they either have to really differentiate it or maybe add some complexity to the current 'all 'helioics' are bigots, your faith is evil' angle. because in fiction you can do that, but real religions aren't that simple. im not religious myself, but there have been times where i've been in really bad situations and the most welcoming, caring people are pastors. there is a good side to christianity, and in freshman year kristen wasn't a bad person. she believed in all the good things those pastors did, she helped victims of human trafficking, she fought against her family's racism even before she met her friends. her family was horrible and she was indoctrinated into a cult with the harvestmen, but her faith wasn't bad. religious trauma is not inherent to religion, it's abuse that people use religion to justify.
since s1 i have desperately wanted a good character to be introduced who worships helio like kristen did in freshman year with love and acceptance because that's who they believe helio is, and i don't want them to be proven wrong. tracker didn't give up on galicaea after kristen told her what she was like in the astral plane and worked to change her worship, and i think it would be really interesting to see someone like buddy go tracker's direction with helio instead of just rehashing kristen's character arc.
this whole scene was so gerard talking to elody-coded you have no idea
Hey. Hey since when did you have permission to tell your mom about my horribly embarrassing curse?!
i may never recover from the tonal whiplash of lore dumping/important discoveries and straight british kristen white girl twerking by the voting booth.
