i’m gay but i’m always gonna choose the well developed straight ship over the 2 bland and incompatible white dudes that have 500,000 fanfics written about them. you guys just hate women.
"He survived the Calamity" "He didn't survive the Calamity" Honestly I think we're sleeping on the idea that if Ludinus himself didn't survive the Calamity, then his parents quite possibly did (elven lifespan, yo).
Which says that he maybe he grew up surrounded by people who remembered the Age of Arcanum (and like, remembered several hundred years of it), ranting on about how much was lost, it's all the Gods' fault, etc etc etc.
Not that I'm trying to give the villain a tragic backstory, he's still an awful person, but... it would make sense. Being surrounded by that kind of vitriol at a young age could certainly create the villain we see now.
So anyway, what we clearly now need is an EXU:Calamity sequel in which the cast falls in love with a precocious little 10-year-old elven child... who maybe makes a couple of concerning comments... but that can be waved off... they're only a child, after all... maybe some bad influences at home...
Only to reveal right at the end that they've been interacting with Ludinus Da'Leth.
it’s bonkers that relvin is kinda just some dude in Gelvaan while the two most prominent women in his life are both intimately involved in a potential cataclysmic event
Like imagine being relvin living your life when your daughter rolls back into town asking about your absentee wife saying “things could get bad” and her friend that got her to leave in the first place says they’re “dealing with an end of the world situation” and then a week and half later the red moon gets stuck in the sky
honestly really sexy of tumblr to keep follower numbers private. how many people are following me? you'll never know unless I tell you. maybe it's a million, or a thousand, or five, or maybe it's just you. maybe you're the only one here, all by yourself, unable to see if there's anyone standing next to you.
and you'd never know, because status here is based on opinion and not numbers; how popular you think someone is is a vibes-only calculation, and besides the chronological algorithms-optional feed, it's genuinely the best thing tumblr's ever done.
