This fanfic isn't going to happen for a while, but I thought I'd share my idea anyway (ending spoiler for Chapter 7 with Malleus)

So, I saw the ending of Chapter 7 where Idia cuts off half of Malleus's horn. I went, "He'll be so much happier because he won't have to be careful of his emotions. I wish that this happened sooner." Well, I'm a fanfic writer. I can make it happen sooner. Now, I think my first instinct was amazing.

You know that scene from Tangled where Flynn Rider cuts off Rapunzel's hair right before they kiss? Do that but with Malleus and his horn. You're welcome.

I have a plan for how it happens. It's great. It includes using all the Diasomnia members to get the information for your plan. However, I don't think you won't tell them about it because they might kill you (Sebek. It's just Sebek. Once you explained it to Lilia and Silver, they would think about it before agreeing. Lilia would be the first one to accept. If he approves, then Silver will follow, but Sebek? He'd be so conflicted. Mental distress to the max. He cannot compute. So torn. Don't tell him for both your safety and his mental state. Just present him with the end result and Malleus's happiness, and he'll be fine. He might be mad, but it's better than the alternative)

Feel free to use this idea if you're a fanfic writer. I'll be writing it but it will take me ages to get back to this

@solxamber idk if i told you this, but as the person who got me into Malleus, u should know

@fidenciocryptidcreechur cause u like being tagged lol

There is something so deep about Laerryn's choice in the finale, and Brennan's phrasing of the decision to be made.

To clarify, this scene (copied and pasted from the CR wiki transcripts):

BRENNAN: On a 16, you must make a tough decision. Do you want to further limit the release of energy and make the release of energy safer for the physical environs of Avalir and Cathmoíra, or do you want to ensure that Rau'shan and Ka'Mort will be permanently banished from Exandria?

TRAVIS: Impossible.

AABRIA: Laerryn's little joke to herself was always that the Heart of Avalir was the thing she inherited, but it was too small. She made it bigger, she improved it. She improved the Etheric Net and built this and that she was the Heart of Avalir, and she gave everything to this city. But I know what people are fighting to protect and I remember what Quay said about going down with the ship. So we will ensure it. This will work. Avalir be damned.

or this timestamp of the episode (in case the link doesn't work for the timestamp, the first comment's list has it labelled Laerryn's Tough Decision):

As we were first introduced to her, Laerryn Coramar-Seelie is the Architect Arcane. As Aabria herself even put, her whole life, all her work, is about taking the city and making it better. Building more. Expansion is the name of the game. So when Brennan specifies that the limiting of energy output will save the physical environs rather than the people, that holds weight.

Just, in a mechanics aspect, there is the fact she is an Abjurer. The whole point of her magic is exactly this choice. To stop things from being destroyed. Her wards that take the damage so that she or others will not. She is not built to bring destruction, leave the fight to others. She will be there to soften the blows that come her allies' ways. She is the one one deciding this, and it feels right, because she's spent her studies dedicated to figuring out how she will prevent the destruction that comes her way.

But that isn't all.

Because any other hero, any other party member, every other soul faced with this question could so easily think that it is a useless decision. A city can be rebuilt, but only if the Betrayer Gods are stopped before they kill all the people that can do so.

But Laerryn, who has dedicated her years to this, the position of Architect Arcane, knows this city and her structures far more intimately. She has been there, step by step, as she forged them. Designed them. Watched over their construction. It is by her hand it was built.

Asking her, specifically, is asking her to choose between everything she's done, or let it all burn. Asking her to make this decision is asking her to decide her legacy. Will she live on as the maker of the land that survived such devastation, but not the people, or will she go down as the one who helped stop the Calamity?

Her choice boiled down to this: Limiting the energy, their work, the libraries and churches, the colleges, grand towers and hallowed halls, stone and mortar, it all can go on unshattered. Or, stopping the Betrayers, the people may continue on.

Was her work more important than the lives she was surrounded by?

Aabria mentions Laerryn was given the Heart of Avalir, jokes how she improved it. But the Heart of Avalir, while magical, is only an engine. It was made, and can be again. So in this moment, I think Laerryn maybe realizes that the true heart of a city comes from the people. Always thinking, thoughts speed by her, whether or not she ever had time to really process the revelations before her demise.

Evandrin is already gone due her hubris. Who else would she lose? Would it have felt like home, without Loqautious there by her side? Would it truly feel like her city, without Patia keeping up with her? What would she cause, without Nydas to hold her back? What is Avalir, without her Brass Ring?

Her assistant, probably still waiting for her, in their offices, and the choice of which will see tomorrow?

How many will feel the heat of Rau'shan's flames as they die? How many will fall to Ka'Mort's earth?

None, she decides. Her friends and neighbors, the kinsmen of her home, will not feel these pains.

I think it is also a moment that beautifully showcases her accepting her death. She will not be here to heal her city. She's going down with the ship. Maybe her blueprints will be found and used, and Avalir will be as it once was. Maybe they won't, and they'll construct it all anew. But she won't see it, so it is their turn to take what was given and build on.

Of course, Rau'shan and Ka'Mort were not the only assets of the Calamity, and damage and destruction was still wrought across Exandria. But there are enough hands to clear the ruins and make their own stories. And that is because of the greatest Architect of them all.

She gave them a chance indeed.

From Pitchfork Fest in Chicago, 2016. Gruff Rhys of Super Furry animals chomps carrots on stage to provide extra percussion on their 4-and a-half-minute rock epic encompassing everything from harmonic pop to ‘pantomime death metal’, ‘Receptacle For The Respectable’.

Super Furries had remixed tracks for Paul McCartney for the project Liverpool Sound Collage, and in return Paul had agreed to guest on an SFA record. Singer Gruff Rhys later recalled, they were all multi-instrumentalists. They had good bass players. Wouldn’t it be boring to get Paul McCartney on a record to just play a plain bassline? (Not indicative of SFA basslines btw)

Instead they decided to get Paul to provide percussions… but in the way he’d done with the Beach Boys. By chomping celery into a mic.

Photo credit and original caption: @Ghosttropic on IG: In the absence of Paul McCartney, Gruff Rhys was left to chew these carrots for percussion on "Receptacle for the Respectable". A reminder to eat your favourite vegetables, and an especially fitting tribute when Brian Wilson would soon take the other stage. (The Beach Boys had McCartney chewing celery on "Vegetables" in 1967.)

Idk if anyone has noticed this before but when you make photos on your 3Ds They are like organized in files, each file corresponding The day that photo was made.

IF YOU make any photo The day on your bday the 3Ds instead of putting The date of that day (ex: 01-01) They will put a bday cake
