Man, how do au ra hear?

Is it lore compliant to say they have ears? Some googling says their ears are their horns. But whispering into someone's horn sounds ridiculous. Or is that how people write it? Lizards do have ears so it's probably not biologically incorrect to say an au ra has ears of some kind. It just feels strange. If you take the more reptile path, whispering into someone's ear hole sounds even less appealing than whispering into a horn.

The fandom had to have discussed this before right? Probably at length. I'm just too new to the fandom to have seen the lore debate. Can an au ra get an earache? Do their horns just hurt? Is it understood that if you say someone is whispering in an au ra's ear, they're murmuring close to like the base of their horns?

Also need the help of loreheads… Was this explained? How does Yanqing know what Dan Feng look like? He’s obviously saying Dan Heng looks familiar bc of Dan Feng, but… how does he know what they look like?

My guesses are:

- Jing Yuan may have had photos of the HCQ and Yanqing saw them at one point

- Yanqing presumably went/goes to school and learned about it there (hello class today we are learning about the sedition)

- Since he is the lieutenant of the cloud knights, he would know the faces of all the fugitives and criminals of the Xianzhou (probably most likely?)

I think the 3rd option is most likely. The first one does seem plausible, but I can’t see Jing Yuan showing Yanqing those pictures (Yanqing also didn’t recognize Jingliu at first, so🤷🏻‍♀️). Second one also is debatable because the Xianzhou (or the Luofu, at least) doesn’t seem to talk about certain topics about the history of the alliance (yukong stating that mentioning jingliu’s name is forbidden. I’m sure the Xianzhou has a ban on certain subjects as well🤔)

But I don’t know😭😭 Am I stupid? Is there an actual answer to this? Or what’s the most likely explanation 🤔

Quick question that no one will know. WHERE TF ARE THEY??

You can already see weapons. Theres also an arch, so maybe the mountain used to have a building???

I just want to know where it is and the lore 😭 why did Mac choose this mountain, whats the history behind it. Was it just because it was secluded? I can’t imagine it’s THAT far from the city because Mk would have been more cautious if so right?

(Yeah ill just go on a field trip with my new sketchy mentor to who knows where😄 thats not a terrible idea at all. Im the Monkie Kid)

Oh yay, dead people already, great signs. Also did Mac make them climb all those stairs? Man, he was really pushing Mk to his limit. Did he climb with Mk? Was it just awkward silence or was it a checkpoint thing like a video game 😭 just occasionally hes there again like (Great job just a little further 🙂)

I NEED TO KNOW. What battle happened here? Was it from the jttw, or just a random battle? Was it specific to Macaque or Wukong in anyway? Theres swords and spears littering the ground. And skeletons. It was definitely a battle ground. I believe we’ve only seen a few of these? So they’re might be clues in flashbacks?

Perhaps its Sandy’s or maybe Macaque’s? Both have spears in the ground. Though we don’t have many clues as to where the battles took place besides that Sandys flack back happened on a mountain but the place probably wasn’t a factor as it was triggered by the situation. And Macaques you can see a mountain range

I couldn’t really find anything that matches. However if this were the case and THE battle really happened on this mountain it’d be quite interesting, but would surprisingly give me a lot to work with to make a timeline.

For instance if either battles happened on that mountain then it would have had to of been after the main jttw, or after Sun Wukongs circlet was removed. As I believe it is closer to his mountain, or at least the city. Which he would not have been near during the journey westwards, as we know his island is in the east, near the Dragon of the East’s palace.

I think Wukong in lmk either continued the pilgrimage without the circlet or they wrote most of the scenes to take place after, like the Samadhi fire. As we can see the group is still together, and Tripiaka is still their master. But Wukong is NOT wearing the circlet, so this probably takes place after. So that means other chapters could have been rewritten to be after the main journey west, and the groups just stuck together? Or perhaps get back together to do errands for the celestial realm like in this scene with Nezha.

Its not a crazy assumption to think that Macaques defeat and possibly death took place after the main jttw or when Sun Wukong returned home as we see Dbks defeat/death also took place after. Perhaps Wukong was just tying up loose ends 😃

Oh I ran out of photo room but In Macaque’s flashback Wukong isn’t wearing the circlet there either.

Makes me wonder just how much of the journey to the west they altered in Lego Monkie Kid, was the Lady Bone Demon’s defeat even in the early chapters? Was Macaques death before or after hers? THERE IS SO MANY LORE QUESTIONS, That if I got the answers to them It would change even more of my inner timeline than you’d expect.

I gotta wonder will spoiled brat AU Tim ever see any of his Young Justice friends again?

Young Justice does exist, and Tim avoids them even more than the Bats- I will say the original draft of the story had YJ be the integreal reason that Tims whole past was discovered and he was reunited with Batfam

BUT due to a variety of reasons that version has been scrapped. Will YJ still make an appearance in the main fic? That is actually to be deteremined- but canon wise post fic he 100% would rejoin his team and make fast friends again :)

Dumb LOL/Acrane question. But Viktor was sick with a terminal illness in season 1, right? That is supposedly caused by the toxic fumes in Zaun, right? So it’s a classic illness not a super complex magical illness or anything, right?

Why, pray fucking tell, couldn’t 100+ year old MAGICAL CREATURE Heimerdinger upon finding out Vik has a terminal illness that isn’t treatable by classic human medicine in Piltover NOT LOOK FOR A MAGICAL SOLUTION OUTSIDE PILTOVER???? They live in Runeterra?

You telling me instead of hyperfixating on hextech , they couldn’t buy a ticket to another one of the regions that use MAGIC and have MAGES to find a HEALER? Or a healing spell? Or something that isn’t found in Piltover that could help Viktor? You telling me for all his experience and knowledge Heimerdinger didn’t know “Oh in that valley or place in Ionia there is a conjunction of special healers, we could totally encourage Viktor to visit them since he is my student and I care for him and don’t want him to die when we live in a world full of magic.” You telling me Heimerdinger was that anti magic his mind totally rejected any possibility of looking for a solution outside of Piltover? Or Jayce and Viktor for that matter? Like don’t they study about the other regions and that they have magic and healers???

[darkmoorresident]

Where exactly is Darkmoor anyway? Do we know? Its name is English but it has German signs everywhere.

Is it in Europe? A German colony in America?

do leodra have to cut holes for their wings or do they like magically go through clothes

Good question, Anon. They do magically go through clothes! The wings don't actually touch the back, but you'd only notice if you standing really close.

if Love is anathema to the Indifference, then how did Wally get all the parents on the Zariman to try and kill their kids?

did they just not love us enough?

or does parental love just not count for some reason?

Important lore question

Is Corbeaux a town in Vaugarde or is it its own country? Do we know if it’s the closest point to the lost island, or would that be Bambouche. I’m assuming it’s a place within Vaugarde because it’s mentioned to have a House of Change, and it must be close enough to the lost island that the King lived there for a few months. However, it seems like he lived there before moving to Vaugarde??? Which contradicts Corbeaux being in Vaugarde. Could be wrong though.

Spoilers for shadow of the erdtree!!! Beware!!!!!

Correct me if I'm wrong, bc there's absolutely a chance I could have missed some lore somewhere, but from what I understand, rellana had an unrequited love for messmer. Like her sword specifically says, and I quote, "here, and here alone, were moon and fire ever together." But I keep seeing ppl say they were a couple??

Like. A ship is fine, that's obviously okay, but I've seen ppl say as tho that's confirmed by the lore, and I can't find anything to suggest that they were involved. Just that rellana had an unrequited love for him. Please do tell me if I'm wrong tho.

Late night asking the real questions here but thinking about the Species(or is it more ‘magical race’ ??) of the core friend group. As Oz has a lot of humanoid peoples but not explicitly human (check me if I’m wrong)

Boq is really the only obvious one as a Munchkin

I would also put Elphaba and Nessa technically under that umbrella but I’d heard that the rulers of Munchkinland come from elsewhere/aren’t inherently Munhkin???

Would this also extend to Winkie country? However I’m more inclined to believe Fiyero actually is.

That makes Glinda a total mystery to me — excuse me for very vague knowledge here but just “witch.” As a species/race or what? Just plain humanoid? Upland…er?

[batfambrainrotbeloved]

Hiiii!! Dunno if you've mentioned this before but was Tim reborn into the body of a newborn or was he older when he "gained consciousness". I just can’t get the image of Tim waking up fresh from the womb after getting killed out of my head😭

Janet: "Aww! My precious baby boy!"

Tim, looking at her with a thousand yard stare:

I don't think i've brought it up here but it is mentioned in the fic how Tim "Wakes up" after death about 5 y/o in his bedroom. The timeline only reset thus far- before that was still the same as before.

I absolutely adore the concept of like horrifiying concept of "aware of existance" baby Tim- but not as much lol

does yoru know it was yomo that hurt chimera?

I don’t believe he knows. He knows that Chimera was hurt. But he either doesn’t know that Yomo did it and Chimera just won’t tell him. Or, he refuses to accept that Yomo would hurt Chimera since Yoru likes to see the good in everyone. Yoru’s an optimist that way. Even though it can blind him to the many bad intentions of some individuals like Yomo.

Question on Solas sustaining the Veil

Wondering if anyone can clear up this lore confusion I have...

(1) We know Solas tied the Veil to the life force of the evanuris.

(2) We know other than Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain, the other evanuris are dead.

(3) We know the archdemons made the evanuris immortal.

*** My assumption is that the other evanuris died because they evanuris were rendered mortal when the grey wardens killed their archdemons and thus the Veil drained their life force.

We know Solas didn't bind himself to a dragon. He didn't make an archdemon, so he's not immortal in the same way that the others are. He can bleed and be killed.

Which is a problem when he's supposed to be sustaining the Veil with his life force. If my assumption was correct, then Solas would just die.

So... I've got to be wrong here.

Did anyone else gets a different understanding of how this all works?

for a longer living race, would pregnancy take longer or the same as a humans?

Yes it would, Anon.

Humans still take the same 40 weeks a pregnancy would take in real life. (This would be about 6 months for them.)

So for elves, pregnancy takes about a year and a half. (About 83 weeks.)

Leodra don't take quite as long as elves, but still longer than humans, so about 70 weeks (just over ten months).

Dwarves are longer than humans, but not as long as elves or leodra, so their pregnancy will take about 50 weeks. (About 7 and half months.)

Half-elves and half-leodra come out to about the same as dwarves at 50 weeks.

Changelings and elementals take about 5 weeks less than humans, despite aging at the same rate.

Halflings are very lucky and they only need 20 weeks.
