thanks @bmoharrisbankofficial but unfortunately i can’t focus on the very important message here because i’m too busy being confused by the fact that apparently if you send an ask with only one letter tumblr will bold that letter in the “asked you” notification text?? why the fuck would that be the case
something that is so funny to me is the solution to the "why does Durge have amnesia" subplot
no mystical curse, no magic potion, not a spell, no elaborate divine retribution for your failures.
no, Orin just got a really sharp stick, poked a hole in your skull and and got you an improv lobotomy . and put a worm in there
and every character who gets a chance to examine you basically goes WHOA there chief your brain is fucked up. like. thats just straight up brain damage. i cant fix that
Lets talk about Stillmaker, Durge’s other canon blade
Okay, so we already know that Durge had the Bloodthirst dagger which was created from Bhaal’s own blood and carried by his chosen.
But there is another dagger in the game you can find that also canonically belonged to Durge, Stillmaker.
We see Stillmaker portrayed in Dark Urge’s official artwork, and it’s also Durge’s blade in Idle Champions, as you can see.
I’ve noticed that Stillmaker matches Bloodthirst in design, but it is conspicuously green, as opposed to every other Bhaalian weapon I’ve seen which are red.
You know who else’s canon weapon has the same green coloring? Gortash. And who is the color green associated with? Bane. Stillmaker looks like it was made in the same design to Gortash’s crossbow.
I posit then, that being close to one another as they were, Gortash either made or commissioned Stillmaker to match with Bloodthirst and gifted it to Durge. It’s far more his style in looks, and I feel it’s something he would have done as he describes Durge as his nearest and dearest, and we know they worked very closely together and admired one another.
It truly makes my Durgetash heart flutter!
EDIT: Here is a close up of the weapons together in game!
EDIT #2: We were discussing on discord yesterday, Orin would have of course kept the Bloodthirst blade after dispatching Durge because it’s made of Bhaal’s blood and carried by his Chosen, but she would not have wanted some sugary gift from her sibling’s Ex and probably tossed it away and Dolor ended up with it, and that’s how it ended up in his stash.
EDIT #3: @arikandkade made an EXCELLENT addition to this theory and I’m adding it because it’s just such great information, thank you so much for this info!
The definitions are so close and even limnologists could call the same body of water two different things, but they generally consider how deep the light penetrates into the water, the sediment composition at the bottom, and whether there's thermal stratification (aka temperature layers in the water) to differentiate between shallow lakes and ponds and deep lakes and ponds
(I could go into a very unrelated tangent about lake stratification, and how temperature layers in a body of can switch, sometimes at consistent times of the year, and sometimes at complete random- while I think this is cool it's beside the point)
I don't think whether a body of water is man made or not would be useful to define a pond or a lake- in fact, there's loads of US states that have one or even two natural lakes out of dozens!
Besides that, I don't think there would be significant differences in the algal concentration or diversity in a pond vs a lake- at most, i think it'd probably be easier to tell if you had a nutrient abundance in a body of water with a lower surface area
what size do y'all think separates a pond from a lake
Yes Ratio is a genius, but it's gonna take more than that to keep Aventurine safe (and I am here for it, the honkai star rail brainrot is incredible with Penacony 😔)
