Sam crying did something awful inside of me. I've rarely felt pain the likes of which happen when the happiest man in the world is in tears.

So Evandrin basically got like...Fantasy Irradiated, didn't he?

One thing that drives me a little crazy for the EXU half while also being completely understandable:

Why does the Spider Queen need Opal to ditch her friends to go fight Predathos? Like ma'am, why aren't you taking advantage of "we'll follow you" to get a whole hit squad instead of just a lonely champion?

And yes, this is probably more about the Spider Queen's own trust issues and visions/understanding of power and a belief compassion (for allies/friends) will hold her champion back. But c'mon. Look at the goddamn logistics of five (six with Cyrus) people fighting for you versus one. In what way is having support that can heal and boost and assist your champion bad? Don't you want a champion that has better odds of finishing the mission and living to serve another day? (probably cares less about champion survivability, being a Betrayer who doesn't care about mortals. But good help is hard to find, especially during a crunch)

I'm just sitting here shaking my head at a goddess desperate to get her pawn in on the fight and going about it the completely wrong way.

the opening of Calamity | the opening of the Ravening War

[critcatbar]

I can't remember if I ever actually posted about this, but...

Ever since Matt first described the Judicators and their masks, I immediately thought of the descriptions in Calamity about how the betrayer gods basically used up, corrupted, and disfigured their clerics as basically just belief-power batteries. I have to watch [Calamity] again for the actual description but I remember it being gnarly.

I just... have a gut feeling that's basically what the Judicators are. The weapon of the betrayer gods turned against them. That despicable method used in the name of good. Carefully guarded and limited, but not hidden or eradicated because it's too useful. Too powerful to just let die out.

I feel like... If anyone ever successfully removed one's mask... these respective followers of "good" and "evil" would be indistinguishable.

And the redeemed, for the moment, Vespin Chloras gives you one night...

Laerryn Coramar FUCKING Seelie fucked up those Primordials SO GOOD that the land where they had been is moving and boiling and shifting over a MILLENNIUM LATER don’t you DARE look at me and tell me there has ever been a more powerful arcanist than the fucking Architect Arcane of the floating City of Avalir who near-single-handedly prevented the total annihilation of Exandria by modifying her INCREDIBLY COMPLEX AND ADVANCED AND POWERFUL MAGICAL DEVICE while her city FELL FROM THE SKY and the people she loved most in the world died defending her. The Shattered Teeth ARE STILL FUCKING MOVING. FUCK.
