Hi Em, Mary here! <3 I have been pondering over a question, and I was curious to see if you have theories on it, because I live for your theories! So, Faeries and Salt do not mix very well at all - Cardan, Locke, Nicasia and Valerian all spat it out when Jude salted their food in TCP. Tiernan explains that it dulls their magic in Stolen Heir. Yet, Nicasia is from the Undersea, and she is surrounded by very salty sea water all the time. What do you think makes the salt in the sea so different to the salt that is poured over food? How is it that Nicasia can breathe and be surrounded by it, without it dulling her magic at all or hurting her? I would be curious to see what you think! Have a wonderful day <3

ahh Mary!! it's so lovely to see you in my inbox 🥹❤️

this is a really good question and genuinely something i've never thought about before. good eye catching that Nicasia spits out the salted food, too.

my best guess (and it is very much a guess) is that perhaps it's a bit like lead to humans. if you touch lead, it's not really going to effect you much. if you ingest lead, however, it can lead to lead poisoning. presumably, in this scenario, magical creatures from the Undersea have evolved some sort of bio-mechanism that prevents salt from effecting them when breathed in.

it may also have something to do with concentration. on a tea cake or crumpet or whatever Nicasia et. al. were having for lunch that day, a handful of salt is going to be pretty evident. but diluted in water, it might not be so toxic.

additionally, the Labrador Sea, which is ostensibly where (or close to where) the Undersea is located, has "relatively low salinity" levels, according to Wikipedia.

and if none of those answers satisfy your curiosity, perhaps consider some sort of magical explanation. this is the Fae we're talking about, after all. perhaps they have some sort of magical desalination process going on that the books, being mostly set on land, could not cover.

–Em 🖤🗡

EM I COULD'VE LIVED MY LIFE HAPPILY NOT KNOWING ABOUT THE OCEANGATE OMEGAVERSE SMUTFIC ALDJNFNFFMFNSHDHNDNNANSNBFNDNAN u cursed us all with this reblog

GVSKDHDKSJDKDSKDJSK MARY THE SCREAM I SCRUMPT OKAY IT'S BEEN DAYS BUT ME EYES ARE STILL BURNING WITH THE BURDEN OF THIS KNOWLEDGE 😭😭💀

[eerna]

The actors are so heartbreakingly good in comparison to the plot idk how to feel

Yeah!! Sure, sometimes they do a not very good job, but I am 1000% sure that's because of the script because other time they are fantastic. And outside of the Crows, Daisy Head didn't have a single bad scene she pulled off every single shitty line thrown at her.

Not only did the crows cast did pretty ok with the material they were given, but I also kinda digged the performance of pekka’s actor even if he wasn’t what i envisioned in the books….

ME TOO!!!!! The "I buried your boy" scene and the pne where he is recruiting Matthias? He's really good!!! Very threatening!!! I wish he played Herzoon as kindly as he was in the books, would have loved to see it

@rowanfaerie asked:

I don't like the acting in S2 😭😭 And I know it's all due to a shitty script but I can't stop thinking how forced and theatrical it feels sometimes. I am only one episode in but I was sitting like 😬😬😬

Yeah, there were some scenes where it uhhhhhhh. Made me yell in cringe. Idk why this show thinks the villains need to be waAAAaaaaaAA CraAaZyyyY theatrical. It looked like a cartoon.
