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

Was supposed to be just a quick perspective practice but here we are

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?

Caitvi is looking a lot like Clexa rn

I really hope I'm not the only one seeing this. But it kinda fits perfectly.

Lexa leaving Clarke at Mount Weather, breaking both Clarke's heart and her own.

Caitlyn hurting and leaving Vi in the tunnel, utterly breaking Vi's heart and you can see a split second of sorrow in Cait's eyes before she goes up the ladder.

Lexa leading the coalition while it tries to upturn itself with civil war

Caitlyn leading a nation about to break during a war.

Clarke goes on a self exile, changing her appearance hiding her identity looking like an extremely attractive bloody mess, being completely depressed.

Vi gets drunk and fights in the pits, changes her appearance hiding her identity looking like a filthy emo dumpster kitten, also very depressed.

Now we just have to see if there a forced angry reunion with lots of feels, if the leaks are true, if they're going to be happy, or if one of them is going to die and save the other with their spirit.

I hope you see my vision
