This is a continued discussion in light of Marika's newly discovered tragedy. It changes so many things about how we look at the story thus far but more importantly - the DLC story trailer, especially this scene:

think about how Messmer knows, very acutely, that at one point his mother could have been cut up and put in a jar. and that his other kins were not so lucky....... it gives that scene such a tragic edge.

he wasn't doing this just for the violence. this is his answer to Marika's love and all she has done for him. yeah it's not right, it's not justified, but as something done to avenge for the kind of pain she went through? it won't be logical nor right but it's something he will do again without hesitation.

the infirmary in Shadow's Keep shows that he's trying to care for and save whatever left of her people. their people.

the line he said in his armor set description hits different when you consider all that. he wants to be the heir to all her sorrow and all of her pain. wishing that he could alleviate even just a bit of the burden of her grief and survivor guilt.

i wonder if, when Marika hid him in the Land of Shadow, fearing people will judge him for the malevolent snake he carried, she raised him in her home village? this will explain why the Tree Sentinels guarding the village drop two Blessing of Marika - the blessing that specifically stated Marika made it for Messmer's sake and him alone. it will also explain how he knew of his Mother's tragic past and took it upon himself to carry out her wish of vengeance for her people.

(also if you wanted to get to Marika's village, you have to perform the O Mother gesture before her statue in his Shadow Keep, implying he's guarding the way to her home village as well.)

One other thing I like is that in the story trailer, the heroic music sounds like it's for Miquella. and it is, in a way. it is his boss music, but the lyrics has "Ave Marika Aeterna" (Hail, Marika The Eternal).

Given that the boss arena is where Marika - the sole survivor of a whole village, walked through to salvage the remains of her people, making them the symbol of her divine ascension, I wonder if that OST is actually for her - the God, the woman whose story is finally realized in this DLC, and those female voices singing in honour of her are the spirits of her fallen kins: cheering on their last hope for justice. Through this girl, those people who had been wronged and died there will live on eternally.

All this of course seems like such a charitable take on all this, after all Marika ended up being just like the oppressors who used to put her people in jars, but I think I just want to appreciate how the environmental storytelling of this DLC is simply amazing. and once you consider that this is, in the end, Marika's story, everything will make a lot more sense.

Sometimes it becomes one of those games where it's like Ja'Marr is going crazy. Basically whatever the look is, I'm throwing it to him.

I don’t know how to explain any more clearly that it doesn’t MATTER if it seems legitimate to you. You have got to fact check every single headline and post and claim on the left just like you need to do on the right.

The left is NOT immune to misinformation and rushed reporting. And the more emotionally polarizing or shocking the talking points, sound bytes, and headlines are, the worse it is and more frequently it happens.

Learn to verify through multiple independent sources. If you can’t do that, you can’t trust it.

If you have to wait extra hours for the real information to come through vetted channels—NOT just one individual somewhere everyone links to, and not just one single media source either, EVEN if it’s a major news network—thats just how it has to be. What news outside of genuine local disasters near you TRULY needs your outrage and post-sharing in the next hour specifically?

Misinformation works best by not seeming like misinformation and by fitting in with the rest of what you already expect to see. It doesn’t help anyone to not be able to recognize and avoid the stuff.

Merry Christmas gorgeous @heartstringsduet! 🎄🎁🎀🧸 I am your Secret Santa and words cannot express how happy that makes me! Especially as I’ve been lucky enough to hang out with you irl too this year – it’s just extra magic. What a seasonal joy and blessing it has been to keep this secret from you! I’m so excited to finally share. This fic is for your prompt “The Christmas / Hanukkah they were broken up and missing each other”. For that, I want to say a huge thank you, because this has been a gift to me too. This is one of my personal favourite fics, and I wouldn’t have written it and had such a good experience without you! I hope you like it too. And much love to @tarlos-santa for organising!

During their breakup, TK and Carlos pine for each other on Christmas Eve – both remembering a time when it felt like nothing could tear them apart. Can conversations with family help guide them along the slippery path towards reconciliation?

Chapter 1: Carlos I Chapter 2: TK

Carlos’ gentle laugh floats up to the ceiling like a gold balloon. A thrown pillow lands on his face. A plush torpedo. “Hey!” He throws the pillow back, hits the wall. TK grabs the pillow again – again aims perfectly for Carlos’ face. All those Little League games paying off years later with his good aim. But Carlos’ sportsman strength is to wrestle, which TK well knows, and Carlos knows when he’s being goaded. He opts not to throw the pillow back this time, preferring to kneel up on the air mattress and enter a pillow fight duel. TK scrappily defends himself and starts batting away at Carlos – and they giggle and snicker and gasp at each other’s audacity, TK’s knees inching closer and closer to the cliff edge of the bed as he raises his pillow mightily for the final blow. Carlos withstands the impact like the mountain of pure muscle that he is, but TK tips over face-forwards into Carlos’ arms.

Love the idea of anytime Bofur gets really drunk after meeting Bilbo his go to drunk action (we all have one) is to just grab hold of Bilbo and cuddle with him all night while the others still bring him drinks. Bilbo is just content to lean back against his chest and enjoy the cuddles.

Someone walks over and tells Bofur he needs to get up to do something and he just grumbles. Fili and Kili were in hysterics laughing when Bofur ended up accidentally telling Thorin to fuck off because he didn’t notice it was him when Thorin asked him to do something. Bilbo is trying not to laugh while the others are laughing their heads off and Thorin is rolling his eyes but doesn’t take it personally because he’s happy his company are enjoying themselves when they have such a tough road ahead of them.
