#gate thoughts?

[nijishinki]

So, I have a thought on Vash’s healing/gate/destruction abilities

I watched Trigun Stampede and I loved it. And of corse this spawned multiple thoughts that I need to share with people or I go crazy

They say he’s the only one who can take and give to the other plane, which is shown in the way he can heal and that literal black hole he opened on his arm. I also think that be can heal by either pulling from the plane and giving to the plants by just energizing them or maybe reforming a connection with the plane.

But he also eats more compared to Nai. I think him eating is another way of storing energy to either convert into healing energy or into destructive energy. Like he can go some time without eating and drinking, and while I don’t know if he can go so long like Nai or other plants, he can still do it. Thus, the energy from the food may be able to be given back to the plants.

This may also be why he can get tired after healing because he didn’t pull from the gate he pulled from himself. Or he gets tired because he’s literally got a doorway in him and I’m sure that’s a lot of power to have to manipulate.

For the black hole, I think that opened because he was distressed and was literally in a room where some uncountable number of plants just died. It may have opened as the result of trying to balance out such a pull or loss from the other plane. Or it was a protective instinct maybe in reaction to the number of plant deaths and his own distress.

And since he can pull energy from the other side, it may explain where that destructive energy for his angel arm comes from, along with his own energy that he has and gains from eating and drinking.

But yeah if his gate is like the doorway (does that make Nai the key or the gate or both?) then it makes sense he can pull and give back (heal and freaking black hole stuff). But I think the fact that he eats more like a human is where he gets some of that energy from.

Or maybe he’s more human because he is the doorway. Gotta balance between the worlds.

Anyway those are just random thoughts I need to share or I go crazy. Gotta empty out the brain to make room for more stuff.

Much to think about

They never give you an option to name the cub but in my heart this is Absolute-ly (haha) canon.

Mystra showed him the secrets beneath the veils. The gossamer veils first, draped across the Weave. The delicate veils next, draped across her body. 'Chosen One' she whispered, as she slipped them off completely.

poor gale :'(

- the dialogue is from ea gale's explanation about his folly

- i kinda like that she ended up looking like a mother-of-pearl inlay lacquerware!

- oh this was a subconscious choice, but Gale is sitting in seiza which is a posture for showing respect especially to elders. it's also known to be a painful position to sit in for extended periods of time, which is why it was sometimes used as a method of (morally dubious) punishment. however, experienced people can maintain this posture for much longer. food for thought :-)

- (edit: deleted this point bcs it didn't really make sense + detracted from the art a little;;)

Theres good reason Halsin never got Tadpoled

I didn't fall in love with a God, Gale. I didn't even fall in love with an Archmage.

I fell in love with a man from Waterdeep, shovelling the shit with the rest of us. I fell in love with a man who would sit by the pot for hours, making sure it wouldn't boil over. I fell in love with a man who I imagined I could kiss, not because he showcased his potential power, but because it looked lovely when he blushed.

Can Gods blush, Gale?

Can they?

OOF this one HURT!! It's non-canon to my playthrough, Gale is very much still just a guy and happy enough that way, but that one Everything Everywhere All At Once quote has been stuck in my head ever since I saw God!Gale for the first time. Gale's folly indeed.

(id: a comic panel. a yellow box reads "the god of ambition, leave your offering." a shadowed figure stands in front of a large statue of ascended god gale. they're looking up at him, tiny in comparison, and a speech bubble coming from them reads "in another life, i would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you." end id.)

In my mind palace my tav and Astarion are playing the exact same game of 5D chess and they don't realize it yet

[myrkulitescourge]

the way that one line from the new epilogue in an astarion romance is going to HAUNT me

just. what a profoundly intense thing to confess to someone.

like, just these six months of newfound happiness with you exerts a force on his heart equal and in direct opposition to two centuries of endless torment, the gnawing hunger and exploitation. this flashbulb-bright fraction of his long life holds the same gravity to him as years upon years of darkness and suffering.

in all likelihood, he hasn’t even known his lover for as long as his worst memory lasted, that year sealed away to go mad from starvation and sensory deprivation, yet he still tells them this brief time has been so fundamentally and powerfully important that the weight of even that unimaginable hell is vanishingly small compared to this present he has now and the future ahead of them both.

how am i supposed to act normal about this.
