He's not my enemy. He is my homoerotic rival and if anybody but me ever tries to hurt him I will promptly kill them.

new years late-october resolution is to be more unhinged on this blog about all my ml thoughts

[naffeclipse]

do you ever sit and think about everything that is happening to you and what you need to do and what you want to do and you're sitting motionless completely locked into your brain and it all goes nowhere but it's filling you to the point of overload

yeah anyways

“Nothing’s changed.”

God I just. So many thoughts about Vax’s moments in episode four and the beginning of five.

The cutting of the thread that tethered him to Vex, and the Matron binding it to herself, a bright vivid link in his vision in the end of the episode. The vision of Vex reminded Vax that death is out of their hands, pulling from the opening moment of the episode (which features Vax as the one to end the mother’s suffering I might point out); one of the important themes of the campaign is that death is neither a good or bad thing, it’s truly natural and a part of life and is unavoidable. The foreshadowing of that crazy vision of the temple doors, and I’m feeling it’s pointing towards Vax confronting the Matron at Raven’s Crest.

And don’t get me started on Vax seeing his own corpse REPEATEDLY. It’s haunting him, but in order to move forward, he needs to learn to live and fight. His fate may be tethered now to the Matron herself, but that doesn’t mean he has to be afraid of death.

But maybe. He’s already dead, and he just doesn’t know it yet.

It hurts so much how the split-second, selfless decision of “take me instead you raven bitch,” is not just life altering for Vax, but it has so many threads throughout the campaign (this and the others too) that come back RECOGNIZABLY to that single moment.

“Nothing’s changed.”

“Everything’s changed.”

you know, i see a lot of people criticizing the final fight with zhaitan. some people say that it's annoying to play (fair and true; i usually have to get someone to keep mobs off me while i'm on cannons, or vice versa). some people say they wish we got to actually FIGHT zhaitan, rather than just shooting cannons at him. some people say it doesn't make sense, with what we later learn about elder dragons having weaknesses - har har, zhaitan's weakness must have been a Big Fucking Cannon, right?

but like

we take him down with a bigass cannon, yes, but. we're not the only ones shooting. the pact is there, physically, on the ships with us; but all of tyria was in the hands that shaped the metal and enchanted the crystals and built every SINGLE piece of that ship

plus - trahearne, the scholar, who was not made to be a marshal but picked up the sword regardless, who rallied the orders that had been fighting for as long as they had existed, who failed his quest but did not give up, who dreamed of orr, green and growing -

zhaitan is the dragon of death and shadow. where it flies, misery follows. but what is a dragon, in the face of the world standing together as one? what's despair in the face of hope? what's death and decay when there's still someone dreaming of a better world?

to me, that is the thesis statement of this story: reach out a hand to others. lift other people up. don't give up the fight just yet. so. of course we need to rely on other people to watch our back. of course we need someone to cleanse orr and strike at the dragon to weaken it. how could this story end any other way?

[Image ID: The "I Think We're Gonna Have To Kill This Guy, Steven" meme with Qiyan Agula from Clear and Muddy Loss of Love and Cale Henituse from Lout of the Count's Family. Qiyan has a hand on Cale's shoulder and is saying: "I think we're gonna have to kill this guy, Cale-nim" and Cale is saying "Damn." Behind them is a out of focus Raon, a baby dragon. /end image ID]

The cloud maiden and the river god.

It’s an old story, worn soft round the edges from generations’ worth of retellings. A cautionary tale for those daring to reach for greater things beyond their station. A story to teach young children not to be greedy. A warning.

Lan Sizhui hates what his parents’ story has become.
