The better story is hope. The better story is survival. Yes death comes for us all. Yes we can never guarantee it will be peaceful or when we’ve lived a long life. Yes time is always a limited resource. But story, most importantly fiction, is a place we can have meaning. If death happens, catharsis and meaning is the better choice. Shock, “shaking things up” is the dumb choice. It’s not creative, it’s lazy. It also already saturates the market. If you truly wanted something different, then choose hope (esp when you founded your beginning on it) and how to survive when things change.

Quick vampire tip:

"Look into my eyes": nobody says that. If they're a hunter they immediately know you're a vampire and that you're trying to hypnotize them.

"My eyes are up here": excellent. Actually gets people, frequently even hunters, to look into your eyes long enough for you to enthrall them. Powered by shame.

it is a universal constant that adventurers in exandria with good intentions will construct elaborate heists and scenarios in order to obtain information from the cobalt soul, an institution famously open to the sharing of knowledge and encouraging the good fight against corruption and evil

Question: What is the greatest magic of all? Answer: Friendship, right? [B]: The greatest magic of all is not friendship, it's chronomancy, the ability to control and warp time. If friendship were the greatest magic, look, it's a pet peeve of mine (...)

all my friends are finding new beliefs by Christian Winman

Fjord was in the service of a demigod recognized by three eyes, one of a set of three imprisoned demigods in Wildemount, each with three eyes.

Uk'otoa has three Chosen at a time, according to the mural at Urukayxl, at least. He is bound by three seals unlocked by three Cloven Crystals at three temples. He sends his servants to take the third and last crystal from Fjord three times.

On that note, hilariously, Fjord outlasts three sunken ships: the Tide's Breath, the Balleater, the Nein Heroez.

Arguably, Fjord has three surnames: one he does not know as he was born to, Stone as he was given, Tusktooth as he formerly used at sea. Generally, across the narrative, Fjord divides his life into three sections: the orphanage, the Tide's Breath, the Nein and beyond.

The Star Razor was forged three times: created, strengthened, made whole. Fjord received it upon the third.

Three visions from Melora: one at the Arbor Exemplar, one as he became a paladin, one as he swore his oath. (Nine dreams from Uk'otoa, a multiple of three.)

In that third temple, Fjord forged an agreement with and was marked by Zehir at the foot of a statue with three heads, an unusual depiction of Zehir.

Fjord was bound to three patrons, given three swords representing his three pacts: the Sword of Fathoms for Uk'otoa (destroyed), the Star Razor for Melora (kept), the Fang of the Spire King for Zehir (given away).

Something mythic about all that repetition of three.
