could we get an infodump abt the new broken horizon lore? how i found you was through extinction, so glad to see them back!!!

Absolutely!

The world of Broken Horizon is a planet (that I've yet to name) which has two major sentient species on it: humans and dragons (or khevirs in their own language). Both species coexisted side by side in relative peace (as much peace as two equally matched apex predators would have).

At some point in their history, Cercerion, a dragon with enough power to become a God, goes haywire and starts creating and becoming storms that span almost the entirety of the planet. These storms are devastating electrical hurricane cells that are charged enough to create their own magnetic fields, the incessant lightning rain is enough to literally rip chunks of earth, even mountains, out of the ground and earth and keep them in the air because of these magnetic fields. This is obviously DEVASTATING to the planet.

Eventually, a joint mutual effort from both humans and dragons is able to take Cer down, striking him down hard enough to bury him deep in the earth to sleep for ages, but the impact is so sudden that he cannot dispel the storms he created and loses control of them, leaving them to eternally roam the planet sowing destruction in their paths. There are six in total. (They are much less dangerous than when he IS in control though and the lightning rain is reduced significantly. But they are still MASSIVE hurricanes)

After this event, humans freak the fuckkkk out and in true human fashion decide that dragons are dangerous and must be exterminated. A massive war breaks out between both species where they try to obliterate each other (this is known as the Great Dragonslaying Era). Both sides develop technology to stay on par with each other (humans develop insane machinery, and dragons develop energy manipulation).

The war rages on for years, but true to their nature they an never truly best each other, and the war ends MANY years later in a shaky stalemate from both sides. This would be the present day.

Since the war has only recently ended, there are very few laws that regulate dragons and their rights in human territories, and viceversa. Using dragons as fighting dogs in gladiator arenas and treating them as animals is 'illegal', but extremely common in human cities. That would be the situation where our Extinction crew find themselves in.

Despite all the animosity towards each other, there are a great many people who want to uphold the peace and want to peacefully coexist and even work together (this is the basis for dragon piloting); but there are also extremists on both sides who still believe the others should be exterminated: humans who consider dragons a threat and a pest and no more than animals, and dragons who are unhappy with being 'tamed' and who clamor for a return to being ruthless deadly beasts.

----

Honestly, the setting of Extinction itself isnt that much changed! It's mostly been tweaked to be a lot more cohesive with the worldbuilding and the world's history. I have added a bunch more in the aspect of dragonflight and races and planes because I think its cool as hell. The gladiator side of it is only one fraction of the world.

Good luck for Duncan's appointment tomorrow! I hope everything goes as smoothly as possible. Our thoughts are with you and the little man.

Thank you!! I am so very excited and if I told him what’s happening tmrw he would be so very NOT excited! His appointment is at 10:00am and then we’ve got an hour and a half drive back home.

I will make sure to update you guys as soon as I can with how the consult went! I’m also going to make sure I specifically request his scans when he has them done tmrw, not just their finding/notes

They so silly fr fr :3

[ladystoneboobs]

Lark the Sisterman laughed. "Small Paul, thick as a castle wall," he mocked. -Prologue (Chett), aSoS Pyp always teased Grenn about being thick as a castle wall, so Sam explained patiently. -Samwell II, aSoS [Jaime, to Brienne:] "Are you as thick as a castle wall? That was an apology. I am tired of fighting with you. What say we make a truce?" -Jaime V, aSoS

in storm, published after the first dunk and egg tale, suddenly a new phrase is being thrown around to insult people. and hmmm, all three characters mocked with these word are all v good-sized BIG and TALL types, not unlike ser duncan the tall, who introduced the phrase. and hmmm, the third of these characters, brienne of tarth, is later further linked to dunk in her own pov, when she recalls finding an old shield in her father's castle described just like dunk's uniquely picturesque coat-of-arms. and hmmm, the fuller version of the insult dunk repeats in his head is "Dunk the lunk, thick as a castle wall and slow as an aurochs." who else is insulted as an aurochs? that's right, the second mocked character above, grenn. so what i'm saying is i think bri and grenn are distant cousins of some sort, and if anyone's keeping track of things catelyn stark and jon snow have in common (besides disliking theon and finding jaime hot) then you should add earning the loyalty of a descendant of the noble line of ser duncan the tall aka dunk the lunk.

JUNGLELAND (2019) Grade: C

Interesting concept that had some potential. The plot was a mix bag. The ending was a let down and a little cheesy. Jack O'Connell was good though.

i can't pretend i'm immune to coming away from a story with One Dude who's very particularly special to me but at the very least there's like 85% odds that he ends up transfemme in my brain

Location: Armande’s private rooms

@sirduncanx

Armande normally preferred his subjects to be more … sturdy. Humans were so disappointingly fragile and died so easily. But Duncan was a special project and one that was worth being a little delicate with. I’m fact, the delicacy added a frisson to the whole experience. Or perhaps that was just the human’s deep fear of his own desires. It was so nice when they started already scared and aroused.

“Mon ange, would you like to undress? Your colonial prurience is astonishingly endearing, but surely you’d prefer to give in and get it over with this time. The harder you fight, the longer I get to enjoy myself.” Duncan wouldn’t do it anyway, but Armande did so enjoy offering anyway. Because later Duncan would hate that he’d said no and hate that he wanted to say yes.

Armande kept his own playroom, and was very particular about what he kept in there. Ropes coiled like eels and snakes in the air around him, thin scalpels dancing above his head like a crown. Shadows covered him like clothing, though he was naked other than a pair of leather trousers underneath. Duncan was currently trying to look defiant. But there was fear there too. Delicious.

“You should hold still, mon beau. I don’t want you to bleed quite yet. Not on your clothes. Such a waste.” Snapping his fingers, the shadows peeled away from him and struck at Duncan, crawling over him and trying to force their way into him in any way they could. Armande watched, appreciating the view: they undid buttons and tore fabric like desperate fingers trying to get at the body beneath. He whistled, and the shadows came running back like eager dogs, leaving Duncan naked and possibly traumatized. “I did warn you, Mon ange. Now, do you want to assume the correct position?” Pointing at the St Andrew’s cross, Armande smiled in an almost affectionate way. “If you’re very good, I won’t tie you up facing the wall and make you grind yourself against that wood when I start fucking you. I know you simply hate how much you enjoy it.” He’d do it anyway, but Duncan would refuse and then would blame himself when he came gasping while grinding himself against the polished and waxed wood.

[kiwichapstickss]

“Maybe. But you neither think nor talk like the man I could bind myself to. As soon as your fear was over—and it was not fear for what threatened me, but for what might happen to you—when the whole thing was past, as far as you were concerned it was exactly as if nothing at all had happened. Exactly as before, I was your little skylark, your doll, which you would in future treat with doubly gentle care, because it was so brittle and fragile. [Getting up.] Torvald—it was then it dawned upon me that for eight years I had been living here with a strange man, and had borne him three children—. Oh, I can’t bear to think of it! I could tear myself into little bits!

'Thirteen Women' – Irene Dunne vs. Myrna Loy on Criterion Channel

Thirteen Women (1932) is a “Ten Little Indians”-style thriller set in a circle of sorority sisters whose planned reunion is marred with premonitions of death, murder, and suicide sent by a swami (C. Henry Gordon) whose astrological readings are all the rage in their society. Irene Dunne is Laura Stanhope, the good girl center of the sorority society, and Myrna Loy is Ursula Georgi, the exotic…
