Still catching up on fhjy but I’ve been thinking So Much about everything going on with Cassandra but I Can Make Anything About Astronomy and that’s about to be everyone else’s problem SO!!!
Thinking about the red rage stars that came from Cassandra. Thinking about the giant gods from the mountains of chaos and the god whose name has been erased. Thinking about the potential of a star god leeching power from Galicaea and Sol. Thinking about red giant stars.
A red giant is a dying star. When a star doesn’t have enough hydrogen for nuclear fusion, gravity acts on it harder and the compression makes it hotter, so it expands greatly and glows bright red, but since this heat is spread out over a greater surface area the surface becomes relatively cool. When the red giant’s core collapses in on itself, it becomes a white dwarf and ejects material into a nebula. This is the most violent stage of a star’s life.
It’s possible this giant god (Cassandra’s spouse) whose name has been erased was an old star or sun god, losing followers when sol came to prominence and being presumed dead, when it instead entered a red giant phase. They no longer have followers of their own to draw power from, so they leech off of the sun and moon for what little power they can get in their nameless state. Their influence is spread thin (like the demon that Lydia and her party fought) but they are fueled by this rage.
This dead god being a sun/star god for the giants would also explain the texts found being written in Giant, and would also explain the ties to Lucy Frostblade and her goddess, bc I’m sure there’s some sort of connection there
Also on a kind of meta level I know there’s a third party dnd compendium with a fallen star warlock patron that is p cool (i doubt they’re using that handbook specifically but there is a precedent for this thing)
On another meta level I think that the red giant pun is too good to pass up idk it’s fun to me
Anyway this might be nothing but it’s been on The Dome <333

everyone needs to stop thinking about rosekiller as a tragic pairing and start considering their narrative as the inverse right now. the marauders era has so many beautiful, romantic tragedies: “what would we have done different if we knew what was coming?” but rosekiller is not one of them. every single one of their choices they made on purpose, for each other, knowing the full scope of what it meant. they wouldn’t have done a single thing different if they had to do it a hundred times over. the troubles with them are the circumstances they were given in life— blood purity, abuse, isolation. but they didn’t fall from happiness into a bitter ending (like the marauders), they came from a bitter beginning and made a life that was intentional.
barty came pre-broken. under imperius & his father he was not a whole person yet, he didn’t fully exist. what would you do if you loved someone who, by definition, was un-saveable? i think you would follow him wherever he went. and if the only thing that could get him out and allow him to Become Himself is a movement that’s awful and violent and bloody— of course you would do it anyway if you loved him enough!! i’m focusing on barty because we know more about him in canon. but just!! barty went from an emotionless, hollow half-existence to knowing the full spectrum of human emotion— love at one end, and grief (the last act of love) at the other. he lived to avenge himself by killing his abuser. he lived to avenge his lover by abusing his killer.
why would either of them have done a single thing different? it’s the opposite of a tragic ending— in the bitterest circumstances they made the single best thing they possibly could and that was loving each other. and they did it on purpose. i think about them a lot. anyway

Chilcille huh... ngl I was a little suspicious. like why would you do that, huh... hope youre not mischaracterizing anyone in your weird and wacky ship. a little weird. but then you said they both had flat asses and you know what? I salute you and your perfect characterization
The fact you seem to think you managed to not make this ask insulting is baffling. What the hell. Fuck off.
If you actually care to be open minded about the ship, I talk about marchil on my sideblog 24/7. Funnily enough I’m currently 4k words deep into an analysis of their character arc together in canon, but that’ll take some more days to get done. Some notable posts:
Of course without counting the analyses of Chilchuck on his own I’ve made, like my masterpost on his family situation. Or better yet you could also read my fics for them, see how weird and wacky they are here.
Wanna talk about mischaracterisation? They’re literally a comedic duo who interacts 24/7. Marchil is crazy bc ppl are like "did those shipper read with their eyes CLOSED?? They have no chemistry!" Meanwhile canon is like:
"She’s obsessed with knowing everything she can about him and she reads him like a book." In her eyes he’s like that extra rare and hard and shiny unlockable dating sim character, that brooding mysterious character trope that’s thrilling to crack open and typically is at the center of the plot. The wife roleplay????
"Hey, did you know his type is blondes. Hey did you know he likes his women pretty and blonde. Hey did you know he likes her hair. Hey did you know that he teases her 24/7 and it’s one of the few things that consistently gets him grinning because he finds her reactions cute." Like a schoolyard bully pulling on the pigtails of the girl he likes.
It’s not like they have any thematic narratives or relevance. It’s not like she’ll live to 1000 and has existential dread about it while he’s logically gonna be her next friend to die at 50 and wether it’s romantic or platonic it’ll terrify her to lose him. It’s not like it’s fear of death x fear of rejection so they’re both obsessed with the thought of loss looming, past and ongoing. It’s not like it’s half-elf x half-foot and there’s an inherent journey that was and still is to dispel prejudices and truly come to see each other. It’s not like he’s painfully real and raw and flawed but still a good man, that he’s not the figure of prince charming that she’s always dreamed of while still being virtuous and worth fighting for. Or you know, her hair being golden and it being the epitome of beauty to him, and his hair turning silver and it being Marcille’s worst nightmare.
Just a weird wacky ship who means nothing but shallow things to people who have weirdo reasons for liking it. Like can you not. If you’re not imaginative enough to think of reasons why this ship may have an appealing dynamic that’s not my issue.
But yes, yes, they’re both flat asses to me, thanks.

I hate Hunters future design with such a passion because he’s literally just fuckin Caleb now
-Exact same eye colour (I’ve hated that since TTT)
-Extremely similar hairstyle + it’s the exact same one Belos forced on him
-Same job/passion (wouldn’t care at all about that if it weren’t for the fact that 1. Caleb is shown to be carving something in Belos’s memories and 2. Everything else)
-oh Flapjack died? Let’s give him another bird palisman who looks exactly like Flapjack except make it blue.
Like Waffle is honestly the last thing I care about regarding the design but when put next to everything else, no
He is literally just Caleb now.
If they wanted him to look like someone else, they could’ve gone for literally anyone who isn’t the guy he had a panic attack for looking too much like him over
Darius could’ve worked (a hair bun, coloured hair, a little more abomination/ purple themed or something)
Eda could’ve worked (long hair, bird themed, etc)
They could’ve had him working in a tailor shop or something related to sewing and having the palisman thing as a side job or something
It’s just idk. It felt like they threw his character arc about being his own person out the window for whatever was going on there

(This is light-hearted whinging but) WHERE are my minor character enjoyers in the Baldur’s Gate fandom?!?! Where are my fellow obsessed-with-Astarion’s-siblings?? Where are the Gandrel fans? The analyzers of Vellioth’s character? And so forth! I can’t be the only one here who sees a character with one line of dialogue and goes “it’s free real estate”! Reveal yourselves!

looking at the leafs fanbase & realising that most people have never watched a team sport before becoming a leafs fan and finally realising that’s why people act the way they do.

You have no idea how happy I am to see that other people like you don't like blades 2 as well. Like yes it was decent, but on the same level as book 1 in the LEAST.
And I agree, book 3 seems like an excuse to get fans off of their back about the writing. The finale felt extremely disappointing, compared to the thrill you could feel in book 1 end
Yeah, I’m still gonna play book 3 and (foolishly) hope that it’ll be better. But those hopes aren’t too high because book 2 was not a good set up for book 3 at all in my opinion. There’s so much going on. I don’t like that Valax is a part of our friend group now. However, the group dynamics were off long before that if I’m being real. Mal’s route was ruined for me.
When I was going through and deleting my screenshots the other day, I reread the “You slept through it scene” and just felt a renewed sense of hurt and anger at him and really all of our friends. Mal caught a lot of heat from me specifically because he’s my LI and the one who said such an awful thing. But honestly, the rest of the group essentially agreed with him by expanding on what he said (Imtura and Nia) or not saying anything at all (Tyril) and only getting on one accord to exclude MC.
And then on top of all of that, there are quite a few holes that really should be patched up. The plot was a mess for the majority of the story. Tbh it was almost giving Endless Summer because they were locking important information behind diamond scenes and in the lore tablets.
So all this to say that at this point in time, I no longer have faith that PB can handle complex storytelling. Their parent company and higher ups (unsurprisingly) only care about money. And the writers themselves are too lazy and too biased. Does that mean they can no longer write enjoyable stories? No, of course not. But I do think they need to rein it in and be a bit more realistic about what they can handle right now because there’s nothing wrong with a simpler book/plot that’s aware of what it’s trying to accomplish. And it’s clear that they were far too ambitious with Blades 2
