I recently read Geoffrey Wellum's autobiography, First Light, which was really interesting. He was the youngest Spitfire pilot in the Battle of Britain at just 18 years old. I also watched the movie that is based on it starring Sam Heughan and Ben Aldridge.

Wellum obituary from 2018:

Geoffrey Wellum who flew spitfire in Battle of Britain dies aged 96

can u see me in the dark?

Vi masks her pain by building up a tough exterior to overcompensate for how wrecked she is on the inside.

Summary:

Vi had offered Caitlyn a hand in a time of need and she pushed her down. So, like an animal, she claws her way up from the underground. She can’t help but hope that Commander Kiramman’s searching tendrils whisper back to her the stories of the Pit Fighter of the Undercity; a reckoning in the making.

What is with this fandom being willing to find (and make) every reason under the sun to absolve Fox of literally shooting Fives dead but still insisting on blaming Saw for Tech's death?!?

me telling you my season 2 timeskip fic is finished and contains longing, grief, pit fighter Vi, a backstory for Loris, a ship no one asked for, cool scenes with Ambessa Medarda, and a Maddie Nolen kiss. Jinx shows up, too! and Vi gets a hug!

@y-rhywbeth2 i can't remember if you've talked about this or not but in case you haven't: how do you interpret the unholy assassins? does becoming one mean becoming a member of a bhaal-sponsored assassins' guild, or the clergy, or a new/local order of specialty priests?

going off of dolor and olfaith olumssdottir, candidates are chosen from people who already worship bhaal and/or do a lot of murder, who aren't already members of the temple--so, non-clergy. narratively, just looking at bg3, it mirrors what shadowheart has to do to become a dark justiciar: go through trials, be deemed worthy, sacrifice a celestial.

all bhaal cultist ranks in bg:dta / bg3 get some amount of god-granted magic abilities but looking at the banites and myrkulites, it seems fair to me to interpret only the highest rank as having cleric-type abilities. if we use the fact that the dead three cults are presented as being symmetric and extend this logic to the bhaalists, it gets us 'night blades' and 'reapers' being non-priest… acolytes? aspirants? lay brothers/sisters? simply congregation members? and 'death's heads' being priests and definitively clergy.

where do 'unholy assassins' go here?
