#it would be a little nice parallel

Been thinking about this leaked scene

I'm 99% sure its 100% a Rayllum scene, there's Stella and Sneezles, adoraburrs which both Rayla and Callum love, flowers (romantic), a boat (Rayllum has an story with boats) and birds (Callum is a bird).

What if it's a little gesture from Rayla to cheer Callum up about the whole Katolis thing? maybe after Rayla gets unghosted she finally shows him the place just like she wanted two years ago and a boat ride is just one of the things you can do at The Silvergrove since it seems there's a lot of rivers in there.

It could be something made by Callum but considering she doesn't like water and gets seasick I doubt.

It could also definitely be something they both decide to do to have a little fun but I think it would be cute if Rayla planned it.

I'm trying to avoid getting spoiled so I haven't looked up what's happening in the Jp server's main story, but for my own sanity I need to ask; is the story at a point where we know whether Lilia will get better/survive his almost-empty magic reserves..? Was it a true death flag from the start or only a plot device for malleus' overblot....?

not yet! I do think they're going to get back to it eventually, but -- keeping it as low spoilers as possible -- there's been...let's just say a LOT going on in the meantime.

enjoy 7-6!!! :)

Beloved little gremlin boy Taylor!!!!! I care him

Isn't a bit crazy that legit no one was left alive/near/important to Larra Rogare after 135 AC that could have forced her to keep having kids and she kept on them with underage Viserys anyways? 😭 Does no one else think that's a little weird?

I'm convinced Bobby Nash has to die. Now hear me out!! Cause I don't think he has to stay dead. In fact, it fits better if he doesn't. Here's the thing: Bobby believes he should have died in the fire that killed his family and all those people. It really seems there is absolutely no way for him to feel any closure on that, except, maybe, dying in/as a result of/in the vicinity of a fire after saving his family, aka Athena. A fire that burned down his now-family's home.

In Bobby Begins Again, Bobby is told You want to be punished? Your punishment is that you lived. Now make it worth a damn. And all this 'putting his affairs in order' stuff is kind of him double-checking that he really did make it worth a damn. For other people. Not for himself. He still doesn't believe he deserves any sort of happy ending. So, him dying and then living, just like Buck, would be another perfect little joke from his God, a sort of, You want to die for your sins? Fine. Now you have. Now live and be free of them.

Dying for your sins sound familiar? A little Jesus-y? Yeah, it fits right into all the religious symbolism we got in Step 9, aka the very Bobby-centric episode we just had! @exhuastedpigeon made a really good post about it.

In the previous episode, we saw that Bobby had his addiction practically passed down to him by his father, like an original sin. He wandered the desert, he carried his cross. In this episode, he had his last meal and though he didn't quite literally pray with his family, he did give Eddie a book of catholic prayers...

So if we're following that theme, if Bobby is to get the closure he has been wishing for ever since that fire happened, he might just have to die. But we all know Jesus didn't exactly stay dead either.

oh boy im having thoughts about miquella and malenia again!!!

i don't know if it was intentional or not but like yk seeing malenia's entire character and seeing how the most important thing to her (save for her brother) is her dignity and her pride and her sense of self. after a lifetime of fighting the scarlet rot malenia is someone who still resists it every day no matter how strong it gets because she is someone who will fight to the bitter end to make sure it doesn't overtake her, to make sure that she's still just her and not the vessel for the rot.

(of course, the exception to this is when she bloomed in aeonia and in her fight with us, but I'll call those last-ditch attempts arising out of desperation so)

you get it malenia suffers every day of her life and the rot threatens to consume her but she refuses to let it win and instead completely rejects it and scorns it; she won't let it take away what makes her her.

and contrast it with the dlc where we see her brother miquella do exactly the opposite of what she does. because of his crosses, we see how much of himself miquella has lost how he constantly sheds pieces of himself in his effort to become a god to the point where he even discards his love, his other half st. trina.

he did all this to fulfill his goals, to succeed in what he thought was right; what he thought was a necessary sacrifice that would only bring him closer to his goals of a kind and compassionate world. only the problem is it ended up making him into something he was not; miquella the kind was certainly not like miquella the unalloyed.

i am aware that miquella even in the base game was not the wow sunshine jesusesque figure that did no wrong and was purehearted through and through. even then there were hints to a more complex character, but I think the difference between miquella the kind and miquella the unalloyed is that the miquella of before was someone who cared so so deeply on such a personal level; he was someone who put his heart and soul into helping each and everyone whether it be by crafting prosthetics or needles for his sister to ward away the rot and the meddling of outer gods or whether it was to try to give his brother godwyn a proper death; he was someone who cared very very deeply and in a very personal manner. but afterwards, I think in his quest for godhood miquella became someone very distant, very impersonal in the way a benevolent god who is looking out for everyone and who is "doing the right thing no matter what because ik better and I have the power to fix things" is. he is very removed from that which he once was; he abandoned himself and subsequently abandoned the very ideals he was fighting for.

miquella the kind still wants a world filled with peace and compassion but now, he is a god, now he is someone willing to take the most drastic of measures because now he is no longer the boy that was miquella the unalloyed that believed in an age of compassion with love present. you cannot have compassion without having love which, of course, miquella the kind has abandoned.

i don't know there's just something interesting about these siblings where one has continuously resisted the urge of an outer god who is trying to force her into being something she does not want to be and then there is the one who willingly rips away that which makes him him because he thinks that this will help him become someone he should be; it will help him become the god that will fix this broken world.

nigel and the captain would LOVE watching ants together

nigel would catch cap up on ant lore and it'd be cap's new hyperfixation for a good while

isaac would be in despair BUT at least nigel can bother the captain about ants instead of him

[askblueandviolet]

hello again Violet, it's been a bit, for us at least!

take this anti rock/glitter blanket, and some snacks. they're all banana flavored.

Remember the (Dixie) Chicks’ Not Ready to Make Nice video??

"Early in my life, these three women showed me that female artists can play their own instruments while also putting on a flamboyant spectacle of a live show…They taught me that creativity, eccentricity, unapologetic boldness and kitsch can all go together authentically…Most importantly, they showed an entire generation of girls that female rage can be a bonding experience between us all the very second we first heard Natalie Maines bellow 'that Earl had to DIE'" - Taylor Swift x

I think I prefer Y as the canon version of XY not just bc it’s the one I first played, or bc I like big scary dragon bird designs, or big scary things being good, but bc it feels like. narratively *chefs kiss* that lysandre is trying to commit a genocide and is using the deity of death to see his goals realized and even the deity of death is Dude what the FUCK is wrong with you. No. You do not get to genocide the earth because you don’t like poor people

[derelicthorror]

okay one thing i will say is that i am struggling a little between "the poignant devastation that gijinka loid has endured for so long, the gutwrenching parallel tenderness of the vessels, at the end"

and, like. the horrible jock instinct that mainly goes "he is not nice to my loid. put him in a locker"

[cursed-rat-of-homosexuality]

okay so is it just me or did absolutely everything go wrong this episode????

[treecakes]

yeah like lang qianqiu as a character is fascinating but beyond the parallels between him and xie lian and xie lian and jun wu. What Does Lang Qianqiu Do? he never gets a real resolution with xie lian. he’s not remarkable beyond this situation as a character. his godhood isn’t explained- why do people worship him? who knows!!! mxtx didn’t tell us shit lol.

[cherriesforheaven]

If I play a wyll origin then we’re gonna have to kill shadowheart in the shar gauntlet like there is no way that he would just NOT say something that moment
