i love kinich and his lore but ive been trying to find out more abt ajaw recently. its making me feel like a 1920's investigator or something. i was exploring ochkanatlan for such a long time and rereading the "open your heart to me" quest only to come up with this:

ajaw mightve been an actual dragonlord and was sealed away by och-kan so he wouldnt rule over humans. i say this because och-kan was dead set on having humans rule humans and not any other living being. when he ruled over humans he hated himself for it, claiming that only xbalanque could be the ruler since he was human.

he also mightve known ixlel and been a dragonlord alongside her as she said she had colleagues and was the one to have the words "destined" and "rulership" translate to "k'uhul" and "ajaw" respectively during her dialogue.

im not sure if ajaw named himself "k'uhul ajaw" or if that IS his actual name. its definitely intentional that they pointed out that "destined rulership" or "destined ruler" translated into "k'uhul ajaw" if that makes sense. like it wasnt just something to throw off to the side and ignore it was put there for a reason.

ixlel and ajaw also have very similar ways of talking. they regard themselves to be of a very high status and dont really like paimon.

all this effort and i still have zero concrete lore besides the fact that he was sealed away in some ruins, is evil, and will take kinich's body when he dies.

im hoping that theres a world quest with the saurian relics association and theyre like "hey we're gonna go explore the ruins where kinich found ajaw to see if we can find out more about him do you wanna join us?" im on some serious hopium that this will happen though. currently ajaw just seems like a gag character.

what are your thoughts on the king in eow? he's so shocking good at being a king. and being a dad. and he's nice?? i'm so unused to the king of hyrule being any of those things

it was genuinely jarring at first i kept waiting for him to be like "actually fuck you zelda i dont believe you go to your room" but im SO happy that at least one zelda gets to have a happy healthy relationship with her father. exceptionally rare king hyrule W

I was thinking about that scene where Echo gives Omega a crossbow and how my initial reaction was "sir, why are you handing a child a weapon as if that's even a remotely normal thing to do??" only to then realise that, for the clones, this is a very normal thing to do. This isn't just a needs must kind of scenario for them. This isn't just a response to them being in situations where she realistically needs to be able to defend herself. For the clones it genuinely is the most normal thing in the galaxy to put a weapon in the hands of a child and teach them to use it.

I can't help but wonder if they quite understand the horror of it.

And of course this has me thinking of what other ways their upbringing and training on Kamino would affect them. Their entire education is centered around what would make them good soldiers. Their growth is accelerated so they are a lot younger than they appear. Outside of the war, how much experience do they actually have?

I'm thinking about clones with really weird (to non-clones) gaps in their knowledge. What does this look like? Are they unfamiliar with major galactic cultural touchstones? Do they get lost at some official function when over drinks the conversation drifts from the war and into more domestic spheres? Is there ever an uncomfortable silence as they realise that they lack so much knowledge about the republic they're all fully prepared to lay down their lives for? How far on the outside are they? And how much of that do they feel? How much is remedied by finally getting off Kamino? How much is permanent?

A fact I think many highhorsers (which, love a high horse, love generalizations, love dramatic hyperbole, love a bit of godkilling ambition, do not let me stop you) have underrated is that the gods are not weighing Kill Their Siblings vs Kill Their Children. The “deaths” on menu are wildly different! One is an oblivion, a total absence of being, true death as promised even for a god. Meanwhile the other is fear, yes, and unspeakable pain, but then transmogrification. There’s an afterlife on tap for one group but not the other. If I had to choose between throwing my siblings into the black hole of nothingness that has terrorized us since we first learned what terror was…. or shifting a bunch of our beautiful creations messily from one state of existence to another—

I think I’d make the same choice. It’s not about who’s worth more, it’s that they’re two incomparable types of destruction.

James Cromwell explaining how he contextualized Logan and Ewan's backstory in preparation for the funeral/eulogy. (x)

The reference to Ewan bringing home dead animals is (I think) from a deleted scene in Season 1, except below the cut.
