My wildest theory for now is that Mel will make a pact with a demon in the Noxus show.

The eye on this sword tells me that it's either possessed by a Darkin or a demon, and either can bind with a host.

Why do think this? Well in Blood Sweat and Tears it's apparent Mel is connected with the Kindred, but the Kindred is strange here. I don't mean something like, "Oh the Lamb is black and gold and red all over". I mean the Lamb's arm seems to be permanently red here.

The only person with an arm like that , completely and fully red, is Swain, who was included in the Wolf's afterlife. Swain's arm is only like that because the demon Raum replaced it using his power.

There's also many similarities to the Lamb and Mel which I discussed in another post. If we treat the Lamb as a stand in for Mel, the reason Ambessa rejects a relatively peaceful death, for a life of ruthless ambition to protect her children (as referenced in Ambessa's bio), the connection becomes clearer and the implications become further reaching.

some of you were on this very internet in 2022 saying lesbian meant non-men loving non-men. nmlnm. nega-gay. i won’t let you forget.

[rated-r-for-grantaire]

potentially hot take but there is literally no such thing as an “opposite gender/sex” and literally no one has a gender that is the ~opposite~ of theirs.

The "robot/alien learns how to love" trope is just aphobia btw.

anyways i love you people that are both gay and straight, in whatever way that presents. being nonbinary often can mean a complicated relationship to sexuality and how one perceives it within the societal restrictions of homo and heterosexual, and i think bridging those definitions and having "contradictory" labels like lesboy or whatever is really cool. i support and stan he/him lesbians or butch lesbians or she/her gay men or femme gays or she/he pronoun users and whatever else, be it cis or trans or both. if you feel like youre both cis and trans that also rocks. dont let people force you back into a binary within the queer community, stay strong!

definitely not a girl, too pumped up on transitioning to a hairy man like creature to be considered enby, too soft to be a binary man, too purple to be human. this mortal coil is only a vessel for my sick pleasures in life

they need to put me into cryogenic sleep and wake me up when society reaches an era beyond post-gender. they need to wake me up when being non-binary is no longer understood by defining the binary first; they need to put me into a world where male and female are as extinct as dinosaurs, where people try to construct an image of them with bits and pieces of history but can't reach a sure conclusion because of how unfitting they are to the modern world. like damn i'm tired

This is not related to anything sexual but I did find it interesting while we were talking about Mythal and Elgar'nan as parents figures to the elvhen. I find it interesting that when Solas could have had a chance between picking a more female body (mirroring Mythal) or a more male one (mirror Elgar'nan) that he chose to go with Elgar'nan given how close Solas was to Mythal. It is more to do with how Solas felt in a body (and how he eventually came to regret it) but I do find the choice an interesting one

unprompted but always accepting | existential edition

honest to god i've been thinking about this too. i think he probably chose to go male because he saw it as a complement to Mythal. I don't think it was in a 'im usurping Elgar'nan' kind of way, because as much as he grows to hate Elgar'nan he never wanted to be 'the Father' of the People or Mythal's lover/husband/toxic counterpart lol. I also don't think he hated Elgar'nan enough and was proud enough to be so petty as to be like 'well I'm taking a better male body so fuck him.' At most, he thought Elgar'nan lacked wisdom, but that was supposed to be Solas' job anyway. He didn't begrudge him that (at that point). The hatred festered the longer they were in bodies. If he'd taken a body after he became Pride, that would be a very different story lol.

Solas was always Mythal's "companion spirit", and he loved it. Together, they formed an effective and loving whole. They both brought different gifts and expertise to the table that worked so well together. In his mind, at least, they were two sides of the same coin. So to him, since Mythal took an unequivocally female body, he would take an unequivocally male body as a good counterpoint to her. That way, he can bring a different perspective that fits into how he viewed their relationship. In sum, to him they form a more complete picture if he's a complement rather than a 'copy', if that makes sense.

adding to this what @loredrinker articulated so beautifully: Without it having to be gender or binary, there is the spiritual aspects of masculine and feminine. They are companion spirits and would reflect opposites in order to be complementary as a whole. Ying and yang.
