Big fan of the juxtaposition of Azune crumbling at Hal’s admitting he was prepared to die to save Thjazi, to his revolutionary spine of steel showing as he starts to get things moving

captainofthetidesbreath:

the letter Jauf was carrying back to Thjazi as follows:
To Shadow,

If all has gone well, you have the stone in hand. We’ll need the steel. And you said you can convince her to reshape it into an anchor. If not, anyone in the family can make plow shares. Once it’s done, the next step is to bring it to the field. Our wings are leading a charge across the border to draw the locals from the site. That hot shot I mentioned will meet you there and help prepare the arch from steel to stone. Please try to temper his confidence with pragmatism. Yes, I know you are precisely the wrong person for that. Still, remember, until a stable trinity of bridges are built, it is vital that the blood be protected. I trust that you have disguised it well. With any luck, the next time I see your face we will have undone the damage of our first attempt. More than one door will be open to us from there. Until then, I search for suitable anchors for the remaining four. We may need more hands soon after.

Signed, Professor

Spoilers for C4:E19

Demodus Blix - missing grad student from the Penteveral who was a savant illusionist. With the outlawing of magic in the marketplace, he was completely broke, as he used busking and magic tricks to earn money.

Orus Blade explains to the Schemers: the forgery glyph given to Thjazi was expensively made. Whoever made it had substantial financial means. It was made to hold a spell, but not Misty Step.

Before it faded, the forgery glyph had an illusion cast on it to make it look like it was the correct Misty Step glyph when Azune scanned it.
Somebody hired or kidnapped Demodus Blix to enchant the forgery glyph, then killed him afterwards in order to keep the secret that Thjazi’s escape plan had been foiled.

corvidkusnos:

Man. Julien and Azune really are two sides of the same coin.
Two child soldiers who only see themselves as a weapon to be used and if they don’t feel useful, they spiral. They see themselves as expendable and hyperfocus on tasks because otherwise, they’re lost.
And where they differ is how this pain has shaped them.
Julien has become jaded and hardened, and almost resigned to his position. Stoic apathy is a mask for deep-seeded pain and the agony of devotion.
Azune has become deeply empathetic and desperately trying to embody the people who have inspired him. He doesn’t really know how to exist outside of what people tell him to do and he’s panicking.
Both have seemingly lost their sense of identity outside of what others tell them they are or what they should do, and are picking up the pieces in the wake of these events.
And I think, for me, this makes Azune’s attempt to reach out to Julien and show him empathy in episode 4 just hits harder for me.
I really want them to interact more

call-me-pothos:

the PCs and the audience have all had their fun teasing Brennan for how many birds are present for his descriptions of surroundings whenever the PCs are outside (and sometimes inside)
but that makes Azune walking up to the Falcon’s Rest and there explicitly being no falcons OR EGGS absolutely chilling
even before we got any further elaboration from that scene as to what was bad - immediately bad vibes
no birds where there should be birds in a Brennan Lee Mulligan campaign? very bad vibes.

snickfic

- For fic reasons, I've been watching the first night of Knebworth 1996, and gosh, the footage is gorgeous. Incredible that they sat on it for almost thirty years. Here's an example:

Watch on YouTube

- Speaking of Oasis, did you know the mangaka of Chainsaw Man also wrote a one-shot about two young female mangakas? And more importantly that the title Look Back is a direct reference to the Oasis song Don't Look Back in Anger? Yes.

- Have a silly video about the Oxford comma, among other punctuation. Really takes it up a notch in the second half.

- Trailer for Dune Part 3!! My perspective of the Villeneuve Dune movies is that the visual spectacle is incredible, but they're a little too self-serious and not weird enough. The books also take themselves very seriously, but make up for it via frequent batshittery. However, I'm definitely interested to see how Villenueve finishes things up, especially since he'd started going off the map by the end of part 2, and part 3 appears to all be taking place in the gap between the end of the first novel and beginning of the second. Here's hoping for lots of Jessica. 🙏🙏🙏

- They cast Jason Momoa's son as Paul and Chani's kid. Let the Paul/Duncan mpreg headcanons begin.

- You can now filter your AO3 bookmarks by wordcount!!

- IDK how it never occurred to me before that the bugging scene in The Matrix would spawn a whole new kink, but it absolutely did, and I stumbled across that corner of deviantart earlier this week. Bless.

- I'm not going to do a whole Oscars postmortem, but horror movies got EIGHT awards, which has got to be an all-time best, including two of the four acting awards. I'm especially happy for Michael B Jordan and Sinners cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw.

- Tough week for Buffy fans. I'm relieved that the reboot appears to be DOA; I was going to watch it, but I wasn't hopeful. Meanwhile, sucks about Nicholas Brendon. Losing him and Michelle Tractenberg a year apart, when they were both so young, is fucking rough.

I was talking about Kpop Demon Hunters, and a friend pointed out how incredible it was that it was as good as it was. It was a kids animated movie, and we're not gonna pretend it's some sort of transcendent immortal art, but it's an animated movie with just $100 million budget, a first time director, and a ridiculous concept, but it just won a couple Oscars and a bunch of other awards on top of real commercial success. Movies like that usually end up on a pile with Minion movies. But somehow it was great.

Another example that comes to mind is Puss in Boots: the Last Wish. It's functionally the sixth Shrek movie, and aught to be about as memorable as whatever Ice Age movie that is. Instead it was stunning, and probably would have gotten an Oscar too if Guillermo del Toro hadn't released an animated movie that year.

What else should have been crappy but wasn't?

Thank you for writing for me! I'm very excited to see your take on any of these worlds - I love them all and can't wait to see what you have to add!

General likes and DNWs

Structurally, I’m a big fan of epistolary fic, in-universe documents (including academic pastiche and social media pastiche), and outsider POV.

DNW: explicit sex scenes, BDSM

The Windrose Chronicles

the Citadel of Wizards, wizards' apprenticeships, hasu/Church wizards

What is it like to live in the Citadel of Wizards? I'd love to see a slice of life there, or perhaps an exploration of the origin of any of the many architectural oddities that became part of the Citadel over the years.

I'm very curious about what wizards' apprenticeships tend to look like in general; I'd also love to see an exploration of any specific apprenticeship, whether that's Antryg or Daurannon studying under Salteris, Kyra learning from Rosamund, Antryg's apprenticeship to Suraklin, or anyone else!

I'm also really curious about the Church wizards! What is day-to-day life like for the hasu? What is their training like? How do they think about their role in the Church and the nature of their powers?

The Silmarillion

Vanyarin culture, Valimar, archaeology of Beleriand, manuscripts and manuscript transmission, Tol Himling after the War of Wrath

We're told that the Vanyar and the Noldor built Tirion together, but that the Vanyar later left Tirion to dwell closer to the Valar. What is it like to live among your gods on a daily basis? How does Vanyarin culture change after the death of the Trees? After the War of Wrath? We don't get too much about the Vanyar, and I'm interested in really any direction you'd like to take this!

I'm fascinated by the questions of (a) what survives the sinking of Beleriand, (b) how it survives, and (c) how the surviving material is interpreted and reinterpreted by future scholars (and laypeople!) to recreate the history of Beleriand. What are the gaps that still need to be filled in? Where is the guesswork right – and where is it wrong? Why were these things preserved and not others – was it chance? If it was deliberate, who decided what was to be preserved, and how did they make that decision? Are there questions of authenticity and suspected forgeries? What new meanings did objects and places from Beleriand take on in the Ages after the War of Wrath?

Star Wars Legends

Jedi holocrons, Centerpoint Station

I've been kind of obsessed with holocrons for a while now. How sentient really are holocrons? What role do they play in Jedi society – both in the Old Republic and in the rebuilt Jedi Order? What is it like to interact with the holographic echo of someone you knew in life?

Centerpoint Station absolutely fascinates me. What is it like to live in the hollow interior of a space station the size of a planet? Who were the first people to live in Centerpoint, and why did they choose to settle there?

Current Mood: excited

Looking like I’ll be sick in bed all weekend. What would you watch if you were me? What’s your go-to comfort movie when you’re sick - the movie you’ve seen so many times that you’ve lost track? Looking for inspiration. One of my favorites is the Princess Bride, for sure. Also thinking about watching the extended editions of LOTR maybe?
