Spring in Hieron finale spoilers

[oliviridian]

You know the old saying, ‘those thrown in pits will build ladders.’ For years, I believed that whoever wrote that never climbed a day in their life. After all, what pit has the material–the wood, the nails, the hammers–needed to build a ladder? Who, tossed aside by the more powerful, could find the will to build handholds and rungs from nothing at all? How does anyone, I wondered, escape the depth? But I realized something I had not considered. The powerful are frugal and it is costly to dig a new pit for each person you wish to bury. The weak, the downtrodden, the dismissed, the disfigured, the doomed. We are all neighbors. And we are too, the wood, the nails, the hammers, needed to build ladders. Austin Walker, Spring in Hieron

Sword gays showdown, round 1 of bracket one

Propaganda:

For Hella Varal:

She killed a queen with her cursed sword and then fell in love with psychopomp queen of death. And then they all hung out in the cursed sword. Come on now. It's sword lesbianism

She's a buff brown lesbian with two girlfriends, one of whom is the Queen of Death. Her sword is magical and she and her other girlfriend, a badass thief and mapmaker, and a couple of friends once spent a few years inside it by accident. She once accidentally killed a cop with a bottle. 

Her sword contains an extradimensional kingdom that she doesn't know about until she gets sucked inside. While inside, she flirts and goes fishing with the queen of death, who she killed with the aforementioned sword. 

Ok so her sword is cursed and has a god in there. so jot that down

For Ambrosius:

He is also a knight, so it is also within the fine print

are you really gay if you haven't cut your boyfriend's arm off with a sword?

One of the best knights in the kingdom, so obviously he's a great swordsman. Has a divorce arc with one of the protagonists, Ballister, and cut off his arm by accident.

His name is so funny

he is asian and also has a very squishable face

Can I request some Hieron? Any character that you want, I’d just love to see your take on it

fero feritas you will always be famous

[transfemmbeatrice]

an unnecessarily precise breakdown of major character deaths in Friends at the Table! I would love to hear if I missed any or if people have different opinions about edge cases.

list and explanation below (spoilers, of course, for all seasons):

Ali

Hella died twice--once in Autumn when she came back after making a deal with Tristero, and once in Spring when Samot delayed her death with local reconfiguration and eventually she moved into a pala-din body. Castille started dead, a ghost in a robot body from the jump.

Art

Cass and Sovereign Immunity both died at the end of their respective seasons.

Dre

Oh, Dre. Well. First, Kobus died in the Counterweight finale, which I am counting because they did not have a PC besides them. Then Valence, the first mid-season permadeath that didn't happen in a cutscene, and finally, Chine. Throndir died and came back a vampire; Figure started out undead.

Jack

I'm counting Clem as a permadeath because as far as Jack knew she DID die and regardless it DID end her life as a player character. Fourteen Fifteen gets two; one permadeath for the ending of Twilight Mirage, and one temporary death to cover the many times they perished throughout the season. I don't think they should all count separately because they all happened with the knowledge that they would be temporary, which the others did not. Of course, you could make the argument that Fourteen started off dead...

Janine

Janine has been with the show the least amount of time so she's had fewer opportunities and I'm worried this means she's due.

Keith

Branched Man..... never forget......... I chose not to include the other Makos because they weren't really player characters?

Sylvi

Here to give Dre a run for their money, we've got Jillian Red's death at the end of Counterweight (included for the same reasons as Kobus, above). Ephrim died and came back via Samothes II. Virtue of course started off with the You're Dead playbook, and Hazard is sort of debatable but I've decided that even in Sangfielle, not having a head makes you at least mostly undead.
