“How is 12 year old Annabeth head of the Athena cabin??”
1. Demi gods have the life expectancy of a lemming.
2. Gifted kids often burn out by age 16 & I doubt any of the Athena teens have the energy or desire to argue with their little sister who willingly takes care of all the family paperwork.

If the implication in the old journal entry is accurate, and Halsin ended up having to be the one to destroy the shade of his former First Druid that he trained/was taught under, do you think he had time to mourn him? Do you think he fell to his knees in the rubble, feeling the shadows press heavy around him, catatonic, as the weight of realization finally started to hit him? Were any of them reflected back at him when he peered into the dull, sparking energy left behind? Did he let himself cry? Scream? Did he carefully stone his expression and nod tightly in approval, like neatly tying a package, since what he eliminated wasn't him - what was left was so twisted beyond recognition, such a dark reflection of the man he had come to see as second family, that it was better destroyed?
Or did he have to run? Did he shove his grief deep down in the place where it always goes to make room for his survival instinct to bring him into the sun again? Did he have to unceremoniously abandon what was left of him because there was still a chance there may be others - a hope made in vain that the ones they had to leave behind were still out there - praying as he went that he had found peace, that Silvanus recognized his face, before the curse took what was left?

Replaying from the beginning, I don't think I'll ever get over the fact that Astarion actually expected us to not immediately clock that he's a vampire. And I know this has been said before, but it's so hilarious.
He's over there, thinking himself suave and secretive, with such decor as...
A clearly bloody glass cup sitting right in front of his tent, in a puddle of blood, as the very first thing you see
another bloody goblet at his feet, with stains that do not look anything like wine on his white carpet
jars of blood inside his open tent, complete with a very clear bloodstain on the pallet under his bedroll
this clearly labeled bloodbank jar, covered in bloodstains, just on the table right next to him
this veritable dinner table napkin covered in blood, and of course, the pièce de résistance,
the fucking mirror in clear view, angled perfectly so that if he wasn't a vampire, you should be able to see his ass in it in premier plan when approaching from the campfire.
Not only is he very clearly a vampire, but he's also an excessively messy eater, which honestly makes the fact that he is only revealed on the third night a downright humiliating admonishment of the party's collective intelligence.
(Though, armed with the knowledge that he cannot seem to keep blood in his mouth, there is also some real potential here for the first act of physical tenderness he experiences in centuries to be the player character just... absently wiping a drop of their blood off his chin with their hand after a feeding.)

"Alastor may very likely be a wendigo."
Wow. Cool! I had a strong feeling he was. That makes him a thousand times scarier.
"That means Vivzie clearly is racist bc it's cultural appropriation."
Uuuuuuuugh!!
Girl, the wendigo HAS been a pop culture figure for years, if not decades. It is a fact it's not limited to Algonquian or First Nations anymore since ages. Vivzie is very, very, very, very, very very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very FAR from being the first to put a wendigo in a fictional work and far from being the last. Because it is a fucking POP CULTURE figure.
So how the fuck is it suddenly "appropriation"? And how the fuck can you call s/o racist with that one thing (Alastor being a wendigo)?
Also, that may not be the socialist or leftist usual line, (you may call me a fascist or a racist too if that makes you feel so good to be paranoid and see racism everywhere) but I think that "cultural appropriation" concept is pure bullshit:
Cultures, even very different cultures always have crossed paths, blended in and mixed with each other, learned and picked legends from each other. The way it happens isn't always right or just or even logical, it's just natural and human. It's how humans function! In North America and everywhere else in the world!
Or do you mean every people should stay away from their neighbor and never have any interaction with a people different from them? Or any interest in learning new things? If I had followed that mindset, I would be ignorant as fuck AND actually and fully racist. Because racism comes when you don't know shit about people different from you, does it not?
Rather, see that so-called "cultural appropriation" as a opportunity for non-Native American people to learn more about Native American cultures. Or is cultural diversity "cultural appropriation" too??
And bitch, if Vivziepop really was racist against Native Americans, do really think she would have used one of their most popular legends to create her most popular and charismatic villain? Also, if she had no idea what a wendigo is, I may have agreed with you, but she clearly knows what a wendigo is, she educated herself on the subject!
Unlike you, who NEVER educated yourself about her!
And I can't believe I've just explained all that while it's all fucking OBVIOUS and commonly known! How old are you? Five? (tho I bet there are five-years-olds who're more educated and thoughtful than you)
If you're a minor, you shouldn't even watch Hazbin Hotel in the first place.
