One of the biggest problems of writing that Frasier post is that the logic of 90s comedies is not real life logic. It's not just that you can just pick which exaggerated thing to believe more (and sometimes you need to outright pick between two mutually excluding canon facts), but also the degree to which you believe anything. Which is fun for theorizing but also terrible for theorizing because to argue one way or another you need to create the fiction that the coherent narrative you are pointing out has value of truth in a universe where the value of truth is the rule of funny.

Forcing my family to watch the prsk movie in the theatres would've been more worth it than going on that family outing.

are you okay with characters from the guardians of ga'hoole books not appearing in legend of the guardians: the owls of ga'hoole like hortance/mist, streak and zan, aunt finny, ruby, martin and octavia?

Oh yeah absolutely. This blog's header and icon haven't been updated since I made it so sorry if it gives the movie exclusive impression. I'm more on the book side and it'd be kinda weird if it was only movie characters.

So yes, book characters are fine, thank you!

i was having a mild flu, and i remembered my most niche dragon age theory: that similarly to flemeth holding mythal's soul, arl eamon was holding elgar'nan.

so without further ado, let's look at arl eamon for a minute

there's one mildly interesting thing about his codex entry - his relationship with teagan. teagan wanted to avoid politics and just be a knight, and was set on that... until he talked to eamon in person after years of not seeing him, and then quickly hung up his dreams and became a bann like eamon wanted.

cailan also describes him as not memorable or particularly charismatic, which is odd in contrast to how quickly he turned teagan's life goals around, and how he even got isolde to fall for him while their countries were literally at war and he was doing guerrilla warfare against her family as occupiers. like cailan may be a bit dumb, but is he that dumb? unless eamon is intentionally acting a particular way around cailan (why? cailan already trusts him), or he's somehow giving everyone the impression he's dull and not of much notice despite getting his way in conversations a lot...

anyway, in DAO: you show up in redcliffe to ask for eamon's help. when you arrive, he is in a coma, to the point where everyone would have given up on him in a pre-modern medicine setting, and even magical healing doesn't work on him. he is in BAD shape. literally no way to cure him or wake him by any means anybody knows of.

it's also weird that somehow jowan's shitty assassination attempt managed to put him into SUCH a specific condition. how did a blood mage somehow fail to kill one old man, and instead put him into a medically stable coma? he's not dead, but he's not getting any better, he doesn't seem to be in pain, and he's not conscious at all. even if we assume that connor's demon was keeping him alive, why would his condition remain stable after you kill it? there are no IV lines in thedas, even keeping him from wasting away would be a struggle.

and instead of going "thoughts and prayers. anyway, congratulations on becoming the new arl, teagan", for some reason, everyone thinks: "yes, a logical thing to do during this combination civil war/blight/undead outbreak in redcliffe, is to go on a quest for the holy grail <3"

outside of video game logic, this is a wild thing to do. while it's unlikely the fereldens would be ok with isolde (orlesian) and her kid (spooky) being the new line for the arl, teagan is right there and pretty well-liked. and sending both eamon's knights, and the only two grey wardens still alive, on an indefinitely long wild goose chase for an artifact no one has seen in thousands of years is actually nuts.

and yet everyone does this! somehow it succeeds! and it is unavoidable that eamon gets juiced up with... whatever is actually in andraste's ashes. how convenient for eamon.

my theory is: eamon is not a regular mortal. while he wasn't expecting the assassination attempt, he survived a dose of poison that would've killed anybody else, then put himself into a uthenera-esque state to stay alive, while psychically beaming a "FIND ME THE ASHES" instruction to everyone nearby.

as the host of elgar'nan's soul, he knew that the ashes of andraste existed and would fix him. there are also some codex entries implying that andraste wasn't fully human, and may not have even "died" in the fire, as well as the elven ruins and lyrium deposits in the temple - if eamon wanted power beyond being cured, the ashes may have been a good way to get it.

bonus round of increasingly circumstantial evidence! mythal was betrayed by elgar'nan. if we look at flemeth vs eamon, it's an interesting contrast:

eamon is commanding an army, living in a nice castle, has a loyal brother, a hot younger wife, and is either a pivotal power player in ferelden, or the actual power behind the throne if alistair is king. whatever the long term beneficial effects of being exposed to the ashes are, he's got them. elgar'nan is associated with fatherhood, and so is eamon, but in a warped way - his plot revolves around his son being first isolated due to his magic, then getting possessed and nearly dying while trying to protect eamon, as well as his mistreatment of alistair. which is all kind of the opposite of a "father protecting his children".

flemeth is living alone in a swamp with her daughter, occasionally seducing and/or killing men, and has no real pawns on the board except morrigan and the warden and possibly hawke. she is also trying to gain power through the old god souls. flemeth is also, of course, associated with mythal's domain of motherhood, but in a warped way, of being extremely toxic to her daughters and raising them to be nothing but vessels for possession.

if we consider the in-universe hints of flemeth's statements about being betrayed, and about men in power, it fits well if their current situation is the result of that! a long-running shadow conflict between two body-hopping evanuris fragments, where elgarn'nan has the slight upper hand from taking the first shot and betraying mythal. he has the capability to pick hosts that are out in the "open" as political players and live a pretty luxurious life, while mythal is hounded by templars and forced into a swamp.

and! if we consider it from a narrative perspective! to me, it would actually be really satisfying if one of the real scary antagonists was a seemingly generic guy in a position of power, that had been overlooked all along. forget corypheus being ten feet tall and yelling about the black city and having chunks of lyrium in his face, the real threat being a Nice Old Man With Political Aspirations hits so much harder as a twist tbh.
