I don't think the fact that The Administrator is older than the invention of stairs in TF2 is talked about enough

Curse you Shakespearicles

[danidoesathing]

physically sick over the fact that. In the game’s canon Viktor is doing whatever he can to get rid of his emotions and humanity. and it’s what him and Jayce clash over most. its the center of their entire conflict

but in arcane it’s torn away from him against his will because of Jayce. Because Jayce didn’t care what Viktor became as long as he got his partner back. Hello. Can anyone hear me

my collection of herb brides (informal) "types" lore I made up & will hold as personal truth from now on

deliberations below

"Prophetess type"

Pythia-inspired

stay in the depth of the Abattoir where unused parts of slaughtered bulls are burned alongside sacred herbs

dance in smoke-induced trances

translate the words of the Earth into chants that the "priestesses" Brides bring to the surface and disseminate among the Kin (some chants that other members of the Kin and Brides sing are hundreds or thousands of years old, remembered from the depths)

may be blind or visually impaired from birth, illness or age

long hair or masks cover the eyes

"Priestess type"

your average Herb Brides

dancers

direct intermediaries between the Earth and the Kin

their dancing make the herbs grow

crucial role in times of and ceremonies around blooming, sowing and reaping, and the harvest

sometimes descend into the Abattoir to bring back to the surface the chants of the "Prophetesses"

wear wrists and ankle bracelets, pendants and hair accessories made of bone, hardened clay or stone that jingle and chime when dancing

some play instruments, especially the older others (cf. "Crones")

"Midwife (sub)type"

less a "type" than a specialization

"priestess" Herb Brides having shown skill in or dedication to midwifery

unless actively engaged in midwifing, indistinguishable in behavior from other Herb Brides as they dance and make the herbs grow

plenty of Herb Brides that don't fit the "midwife" subtype are also midwives (cf. Big Vlad's comment on Artemy's birth), but all Herb Brides of the "midwife" subtype are

differentiated from other Herb Brides by:

no tattoo/body paint below the elbow hands and nails kept clean hair short or tied securely with less loose leaves, herbs, beads,...

"Crones"

less a type than a title: Herb Brides over the age of 50

lead chants, as they've often spent their whole lives learning them

those too weak to dance as they once did may play instruments (bull bone flute, bull hide drum)

typically more covered than the younger Brides as they get colder more easily: are given clothes by members of the Kin (often their own family)

slower dances with age
