I found myself at the entrance, of what I didn't know. Pushing the heavy door open, I quickly realized I'd interrupted a funeral service.

"You're here! I'm so happy to see you!"

He pulled me into a tight embrace before my brain could decipher what my eyes were seeing.

"V-Victor?"

"You're just in time," he smiled, "it won't be long now."

"For what?"

He didn't answer, but instead motioned for me to go to the back of the church.

Overwhelming dread grew with each step I took.

Once close enough, I hesitated to look inside the casket, already knowing who would be laying there.

"Does it hurt?"

"It'll be over before you know it, I promise."

"…Will you stay with me?"

"Of course."

I turned back to look at him.

i do find it interesting that astarion can say and advocate for some of the most vile, selfish things and people will (rightfully) identify it as a trauma response, but then wyll has his bodily autonomy ripped away from him, is understandably upset about that, and then is afraid of reminding the tieflings who just escaped literal hell of the torment they suffered there because he has been turned into a devil, and people just go "wow i can't believe wyll is being a fantasy racist right now"

#sophie.txt #baldur's gate #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #wyll ravengard #is there little visual distinction between devils and tieflings? yes #but please i am begging you #use your brains to see what he is Actually Saying Here #he is Not Saying Tieflings Are Ugly #he's fucking traumatized bcs his body was modified without his consent #and also - AGAIN - these tieflings have just escaped avernus!!! we are told this multiple times!#the game EXPLICITLY states that wyll has been turned - not into a tiefling - but a DEVIL!!!#one of the creatures that TORMENTED the tieflings when they were in avernus!!!

Based on all the dramas I've seen, the most dangerous place to be in the jianghu, perhaps in the whole three realms and four continents, is at a wedding.

#word of honor #till the end of the moon #mysterious lotus casebook #my journey to you #the longest promise #love between fairy and devil #heaven official's blessing #there's probably more that i'm forgetting #bless tteotm for giving us FOUR deadly weddings #truly they were overachievers #tteotm #lbfad #alchemy of souls #which is basically a korean take on xianxia so i'm counting it

''may gloreth forgive you''#its about ballister being the only one other than her to use gloreth's name as a stand-in for ''god''#its about ballister trying to prove he's Devout. he's following the will of gloreth.#but then realizing. well. even if she's holy. he doesn't care about her forgiveness.#he only cares to save her monster/her devil. god. do you GET it.

The Swords

So I was watching, as you do, some videos by some very charming and passionate martials arts practitioners comparing and contrasting various designs of sword and their usage. And I remembered that I had vaguely, perhaps subconsciously, noticed something strange about the magical swords used in this show.

The first one we see is the Hellfire sword which Dongfang Qingcang materialises as he calls Shangque.

It's straight, with no curve to the blade at all, and both edges appear to be sharp. It's basically cross-shaped, with a large, decorated cross-guard extending parallel with both edges. And it has a fairly large roundish pommel, by which he holds it:

I think I semi-consciously noticed that this looks a lot more like a European longsword, except that it's not all that long. Chinese swords are usually curved, even if only slightly, are usually sharp on one side only, and usually have disc-shaped handguards. [Edit! see reblogs for information on jians, which are straight and double-edged but with tiny crossguards] They sometimes have pommels, but the kind you see in the Wuxia genre generally doesn't.

So I thought, is this one of the subtler ways in which they're setting out to make Dongfang Qingcang and the Moon Tribe seem a little bit foreign and therefore barbarous, "not-Han-coded", as someone on Discord put it?

But then I checked the other swords, and that's not it.

Changheng's is a bit ambiguous. It has a pronounced cross-guard, less elaborate but more fantastical - it seems to be thinking about morphing into a 16th-century European basket hilt, as that downturned curve wouldn't work to catch your opponent's blade, but it isn't quite there yet:

The blade also looks very straight, and we don't see the prop without the CGI for long enough to tell whether it's meant to be sharp on both edges. It might be more of a sabre, a design that pops up in martial arts traditions everywhere.

The third sword we see is Lady Chidi's battle sword, which is the same basic design as Dongfang Qingcang's:

As you can see in the closeup, it's cross-shaped, double-edged, straight, and symmetrical, with a pronounced pommel, a long hilt for two hands, and a large cross-guard parallel to the edges.

This shape is important, because scale is an optional setting for powerful immortal beings, and she will soon turn it into this mountain, with the cross-guard becoming a very convenient platform for conversation and sunbathing:

The other plot-relevant sword, in Episode 31, is the same cross-shape, with a really big cross-guard and a fairly pronounced pommel.

However! Intriguingly, to spar with Ronghao in the illusion-forest in Episode 32, Chidi uses a very simple blade, straight, but with neither cross-guard nor pommel, like a civilised Chinese lady:

It might be double-edged or single-edged, I can't tell, but it has virtually no hand guard at all, not even a round one like a katana:

But when in a later scene Ronghao confesses, it is her own, true sword she drops, as a sign that things are getting simultaneously more magic and more real:

In Ep34, she uses it to kill some unfortunate pikemen:

Meanwhile, back in Ep 16, Yannu's sword was the same plot-relevant shape, like Dongfang Qingcang's, and she holds it like a medieval warrior saint looking down from a Gothic arch:

He held it the same way when Shangque greeted him in Episode 2.

Danyin's sword, when she manifests it, is in a rather modest and perhaps youthful style. Still straight and symmetrical, but with a very small, sharply hooked cross-guard:

When Dieyi's whip-chain-flail-thing turns into a sword, it's even more European - it looks very like a rapier with a basket hilt! Kind of appropriate to her general look, actually, and her street-fighting personality.

When she changes stance we see this bonkers wiggly blade, which looks still rapier-ish (long, pointed, thrust more than cut), only insane. She doesn't use it like a rapier, though.

Ronghao's sword for killing is a curious design, still straight and with a pommel, but this curious sort of vestigial, bulbous thing that isn't really a guard of any kind. I don't know what's going on with this but the shape is a little bit like Theoden's sword in Return of the King. Not quite.

However, when Chidi eventually attacks him, they both use their simple sparring blades again:

Anyway! I was surprised to discover how nearly all of the swords used in this particular show visually followed styles I am familiar with both from western drama and from western historical collections, and none of them, except the ones in that last shot, looked at all like the most common styles of sword you see in Chinese dramas.

Obviously the weapons function exactly like the costumes in that they're primarily artistic visual references to various moods and ideas, rather than functional objects, but I think that makes this choice even more interesting. I don't know how usual it is for this genre, or what it means.

I haven't found where, if at all, we see Xunfeng or Shanque use a sword, and it's long past my bedtime so I'm stopping there.

#can lan jue #lbfad costumes #costumes and weapons meta #lbfad #love between fairy and devil #dongfang qingcang #rong hao #this is actually weird in a fascinating way #I don't think we ever see shangque use a sword

Not to sound too insane or delusional right now BUT...

I was looking at pictures of Roger and my attention got caught by the jolly roger on his hat.

Specifically on the mustache of his jolly roger, and suddenly I realised that it reminded me of something...

Luffy's twirly eyebrows during the gear 5's transformation!

And that's even more weird because if you think about it, jolly rogers are supposed to represent the captain of a crew, right? Like Whitebeard's jolly roger has exactly the same type of mustache he has, Luffy's one has a straw hat, Shank's one has his three scars and so on...

But Roger doesn't have his mustache curved like that or even of that white/light colour. He has normal (and beautiful) black mustache!

So... Why did Roger choose that kind of jolly roger, when it doesn't represent how he normally looks? 👀

You know what I'm hinting at right? Even without taking into account all the similarities between Luffy and Roger's behaviour...

Also I know that the fruit hasn't been awakened in 800 years, but it can't be a coincidence that the moustache on his jolly roger looks exactly like it would've looked like if he ate the fruit (and then awakened it)... even if we know that nobody between the era of Joyboy from 800 years ago and Luffy in the present has ever awakened the fruit, Oda might have still drawn his jolly roger like that for a reason that is linked to that specific devil fruit...

Or I might be wrong and it doesn't have anything to do with it, but in that case the question still remains... why did he choose a jolly roger that is so different from him?

#yeah I'm thinking about Roger as former hito hito no mi model nika devil fruit user #but!! I don't think that he actually awakened the fruit because Zunesha would have heard it and they said it hasnt been awaken in 800 years #and also because he would have become joyboy and he said that he would have liked to know joyboy... so yeah 🤔#but still.. maybe that was just oda's way to make some sort of connection between the two things #call me delusional but I would love if this is actually the reason behind the jolly roger #i know they said he didn't have a devil fruit #but who knows tbh?? he might never used his powers and just his haki #all the similarities between luffy and roger are so strong #one piece theory #one piece #one piece manga #one piece anime #gol d roger #gol d. roger #monkey d luffy #monkey d. luffy #one piece ep 1076 #gear 5 #luffy gear 5 #gear 5 luffy #guya posts #one piece 1095 #op 1095 #one piece 1098 #op 1098 #one piece 1096 #op 1096 #one piece parallels

do you know what's evil? They never gave us a scene where Xiao Lanhua and Dongfang Qingcang have to spend the night somewhere, maybe an inn in the human world or along the oblivion river and it was just oh so cold and poor little orchid flower really needed *something*, anything to keep her warm through the night... oh if only a guy who can control hell fire was around, maybe he could..... well no, he cant use that under these circumstances.... but maybe.... I don't know.... he could... cuddle her....

#Like it would go #I WILL USE MY HELL FIRE TO WARM YOU!!#and she'd go you can't!! There's humans or other entities or whatever itd be dangerous! So he's rolling his eyes and then he'd be like well #..... yk I could 👀 and shed be all no we can't it's untoward but eventually it's just so cold and he's so annoying about it #Shes like omg okay come lay down here then 😤#Probably this fic exists and I hope it does #Canglan #xiao lan hua #xiao lanhua #dongfang qingcang #lbfad #love between fairy and devil
