I knew I found an instance where Constance mentionned the “Progenitor God” and it wasn’t just a fragment of my imagination!

It’s against Aelfie!

This is what comes of meddling with a sacred tool commissioned by the progenitor god.

(even if in the Teaspoon translation, JP!Constance wonders what the eff are those artifacts :  So this is the power of the chalice… These holy artifacts created by the progenitor god, what in the world are they…)

And I found it very strange because the only persons who call Sothis by the epithet “Progenitor God” are, afair, Nabateans!

Otherwise it’s Goddess or whatever slurs Agarthans think of, but Constance, a human, talks about the “Progenitor God” as Seteth, Rhea or even Flayn do!

Now, even stranger, is this part :

Ah, yes, the chalice of legend! My father mentioned it to me a very long time ago.

The Chalice is an old and forgotten legend by everyone - save for the Apostles themselves, but given how the precedent Rite of Rising ended up, Rhea asked them not to pass down their blood (lel) and imo, most likely, not to reveal what the frick was that Rite, something Constance’s dad, who’s obviously not Saint Noa, does as if he was talking about her grandma’s canelloni’s recipe.

So, we have House Nuvelle that is privy to secrets no one bar Nabateans are privy (or high ranking members of the Church), calls the Goddess as Nabateans do... and we’re told she descends from Saint Noa.

Now, Nopes highlights how House Nuvelle had super mages and was “favoured” by the Emperor :

Long ago, part of this area belonged to House Nuvelle. They produced a number of distinguished mages, and were even favored by the emperor. Word has it they were utterly obliterated in the wake of the Dagda and Brigid War. I suppose no matter how prosperous a house is, they all fall to ruin eventually.  

(from a kingdom general in chapter 11)

Now bar the eternal question of “are they distinguished because they are super talented thanks to their hardwork, crest or both”, I earlier had a HC about the Apostles being Nabateans, and if Chevalier and Aubin gave their crests by, uh, blood transfusion/ingestion, we don’t know jack shit about Timotheos, but Noa most likely had her own kids - members of House Nuvelle - and did more than just, “have” them, since she told them what was the Rite of Rising, what was the Chalice and most importantly, told them Sothis was the “Progenitor God”.

Constance being 1/7394th nabatean confirmed

Me likes to think, monsters in Horrortale would consume other monsters who haves some magic with them.

So

Horror doesn't lets his teammates come to his timeline. But its not because he wants to protect them, its because Dust and Killer could kill them all.

Horror is the only one allowed to remain in his timeline because Nightmare has enough of him and the others with the natural flow of things.

Why Horror and Nightmare made a deal, no one knows.

it has always baffled me that ASL isn't taught as a second language in American schooling. or as a requirement for certain jobs that work with, well, people. the HLAA says that around 48 million Americans have hearing loss!! 1 in 5 teenagers!! 1 in 3 people over the age of 60!!! it's crazy to me that sign isn't more widely taught and used considering that you probably DO or WILL know someone who has hearing loss at some point in their life

Daisuke's Notes on Venom's Concept and Design:

Like Millia, he was raised in the Assassin's Guild from an early age. He adores Zato.

He was set up to be a long-reach character and flier. I wondered what kind of character I should make. Originally, he had a cello. He actually had a fan for a weapon before Anji did. He also had a large cross, which I thought was the best concept, however, we were told that it was OK to have it as a part of his design, but not to hit anyone with it. When I was struggling, I went out to play games as a distraction. One time, as we were playing billiards, we talked about how interesting it would be to have a fighter who fights with a pool cue. But I thought the character would be too boring with just the cue alone, so I made it so that his hair also covered his face and added a mark on it with a bit of paint. Since the head had such a strong personality, I wanted to keep the body simple. However, I wanted to change the overall shape of the body to make it similar to Zato's, so that's why the legs are like that. As for the pants design, if I wanted to keep it simple, I would have made each leg the same color, but that would've made his figure appear more naked. To find a way around this, I made one leg light and the other dark to add more of a mysterious flair.

idk if youth related ageism is even a thing and i don't say this to dismiss any of the struggles older folks go thru on a systemic level but has anyone else in their 20s experienced like.... ageism at work...... i haven't really in my current job other than the odd offhand comment but it was rampant in my last place because i was younger by a significant margin than anyone else lmao

i keep thinking about how much more poignant delly's storyline would have been if she and catti-brie had been allowed to interact in a significant way before it all went to hell

delly basically wanted an idealized version of catti's life. a life of adventures and travel and to have a strong man take and save her. she has always lived in poverty half-drunk on the city streets and in stranger's beds and wanted the freedom of the outside and an idyllic little family. and then she got hit with the reality of raising a kid that isnt even her own, having to fight for your life and living closed into a fortress under siege that may as well be a prison, and basically the existence of being a stay at home wife. she feels locked in catti is someone who has lived for adventure her entire life. she has known how to use a sword since she was a kid, was raised the princess of a clan of always battle-ready dwarves, and was sorrounded by over-protective men with hardly a chance to interact with other women (we know that both among the dwarves and the reghed, once a woman marries she's basically home-bound, and when she meets alustriel for the first time she doesnt even know what perfume or cosmetics are, and feels incredibly jelous and inferior). and after a near-death experience she is now torn between this adventurous side and the side that wants to marry and have kids, which she knows is incompatible with her current life and is also running out of time for. shes a tomboy who she admits wasnt really raised as a girl but she does yearn to interact with feminity to some degree (after that first meeting with alustriel she relents and enjoys that bubble bath and later admits she was wrong in her assestment of alustriel, and a few books later when meralda offers her also a fancy bath and some gowns to borrow we see her having fun trying them on)

ultimately, even if they come from opposite ends, they want the same thing. they want to not have to compromise between adventure and motherhood, they want to be indipendant and make their own choices while also having the security of people around them caring for them when they need it. which is a very fair thing want, and yet they feel like its outside their possibilities

i think that couldve been used to properly set up the subplot. they both want the same thing but come from such different lives that its hard for them to relate and that could cause attrition. i think that centering the subplot around them and not wulfgar would have improved it quite a bit

trying to work out how much pain is normal after having teeth removed because like, we're in less pain than before the surgery, but we are in pain and weirdly the pain was mildest the day after the surgery and then started bothering us more the day after that.

our gums have felt noticeably better each day, but the pain is mostly in our jaw and that pain has been relatively consistent since day 3, and it's kind of like a dull ache in the bone. kind of a combination between migraine pain (but just in our jaw) and feeling like I've been punched in the face. it's mostly on the left side where they pulled out the molar that the dentist tried to remove in May but couldn't because it was too sensitive.

idk if it's just because the roots on that one were really deep and had like, an awkward curved shape and were apparently very close to the nerve, but it does keep making me paranoid that something's wrong even though I know logically your jaw is in fact going to be painful after having a tooth pulled out and we were expecting more pain than this and seem to have gotten relatively lucky with it
