WE’RE BACK!!!!

[tropicalscream]

Phyrexian!Ajani really going through his slut phase huh

Ok Norn was right for this one

🥵🥵🥵🥵

[hopeless-knight]

they're probably going to keep Ajani with the same Double Ax if he makes another appearance but i'm hoping they give him something different. It can still be generally the Double Ax, but it cannot be the same double ax.

Cus last time we saw Ajani's Ax, it looked like this.

And as a reminder, The former Ax was made out of both the axehead of his own weapon and of his late brother Jazal.

I want him to be marked by the experience of being compleated, how it not only violated his will, his mind, his morals, but stole him of his last ties to one of the first people who believed in him. He has neither the Axe that his brother brandished, nor the body that he had coated with his brother's ashes. He'd been made into the white-furred Death the superstitions of his Pride told he was, And now he has to live with that. Make up for that, somehow...

I'd rather this whole arc in War of the Machines hadn't happened, but it did, so i hope they can make something interesting out of it at least

Supplement 1: Jazal Goldmane II

@yellingaboutmasseffect (it's fluffy.)

Jazal Goldmane II.

He hated that name some days.

From his father's stories, his late uncle was paragon of leadership and virtue. Something to strictly adhere and aspire too.

At least, that's what he used to think growing up...

Jazal had turned thirteen two months before, and after seeing another Leonin Hunter use a bow and arrow, had asked his parents for lessons.

Brimaz, a friend of his father's, brought two of his best archers to teach Jazal. His teachers were as different as night and day; neither were soft spoken, but he'd only really listened to the older one.

The younger Oreskos was brash, loud and ill tempered. She shouted when Jazal made an error and set the boy on edge at the simplest mistake. The older of the two, pale furred and deeply scarred, had sent the brash one away within two minutes of seeing how Jazal held a bow. He'd been patient, thorough, and helped keep the still learning Jazal on task.

After the lessons, Brimaz was left alone with the young lion.

"You're learning quickly. I'm impressed." he said.

Jazal grunted and drew back the string, arrow positioned just in front. He focused his attention on the red circle in the center of the target and fired; bullseye.

Once he'd learned how to aim and fire, he hadn't missed a single stationary target. And yet...

"Sir..."

"Brimaz please. I may be a king elsewhere, but here, I am just a family friend."

"Brimaz... can we keep this conversation between us please?"

The Oreskos looked visibly uncomfortable for a moment, "Depending on what transpires, i might have to share this with your parents... but i can keep a secret if that's what your asking."

"Fair enough...Did you ever meet my uncle?"

Brimaz shook his head, "He died many years before I knew your father. But he was a good man, from how your father speaks."

Jazal grunted again, "... Have you named any of your children after yourself or a relative you admire?"

"Not yet... why do you ask?"

Jazal pinned another target dead center, "I'd advise against it."

"... This sounds like something you speak with your father about." Brimaz said.

"...He wouldn't understand. And besides... he has enough to worry about as is. Why break his heart too?" Jazal landed a second, third, fourth arrow in a matter of minutes.

"You know..."

Jazal immediately spun around to see his father sitting beside Brimaz, each holding a glass of cold water; the sky diamond eye didn't leave Jazal's face.

"...keeping things from others is like ignoring a wound that's been infected. Sure, it might get better... or it might fester and you end up losing a limb. Even if it hurts, sometimes its better to let someone know what's wrong." Ajani said.

Brimaz waved him over and handed him his own glass, "Your mother was worried about you under the sun. She wanted to turn it down, but i said i wanted to start off easy. Full sunlight, behind you so you can see your target clearly."

Jazal had carefully set his bow and quiver down and set between the two males. For a long time, he said nothing; unsure of what his father would say, what someone his father trusted would suggest, if he'd be yelled at for the first time by his parents.

"I..." he began, and felt hot tears gather in his eyes, "... I want a different name. I don't want Jazal."

"Why?" Ajani asked, taken aback.

"I can't live up it. There's so much pressure just to be equals with him. I can't take it anymore!" Jazal said.

Brimaz burst out laughing which caused both Jazal and his father to look at him, "Is that all? Boy my grandfather was named Brimaz, too. He was a good man but there's a reason his queen was granted the title of Kha. He was a lousy leader."

"He was?" Jazal asked.

"Yes! I wanted to be a good leader but was afraid to overshadow him. You know what he said to me? 'Do so. Your name is not a demand or weight on your shoulders. It's an honor, to keep a blessed memory alive. But it's not the only reason; whether you surpass me or not, matters little. I will always be me, and you will always be you. Don't compare yourself to a ghost, when the ghost wouldn't want you to, either.'" Brimaz said.

Jazal glanced at his father, "...is it be okay if... if I'm not like your brother?"

"My brother was a good man first, a great leader second. I want people to respect you because your heart is big, and you are kind to everyone you meet, even those who look different than you." Ajani said, hugging his son, "I don't want you to be my brother. He sent Brimaz to help fill that role. I will be proud of you no matter what, and it's because i love you i gave you his name. To help you reach whatever places you wish to."

Jazal held onto his father tightly as tears finally rolled down his face, "I'm sorry, Dad."

Ajani chuckled, "Don't ever be sorry about telling me the truth. What made you not want to tell me?"

"Your stories about him. i know you never said i needed to be like him but... it felt that way."

Ajani sighed, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel like that; i just miss my brother. Just remember, those stories aren't comparing you and him; it's my way to keep his memory alive, okay?"

jazal nodded, "You might have to remind me a couple times."

Ajani smiled, "I will do my best, but you might have to remind me a couple times, too."

[facts-i-just-made-up]

... Are you the real facts-i-just-made-up? 🤨🤨🤨🤨

I was in fact, merely captured by facts-i-just-made-up. Every day, facts-i-just-made-up said that he would kill me in the morning. We eventually became friends and then one day, he said to me-

"I am not the real facts-i-just-made-up. I inherited the blog from the previous facts-i-just-made-up, just as you will inherit it from me. The man I inherited it from was not the real facts-i-just-made-up wither. His name was Cummerbund. The real facts-i-just-made-up has been retired 15 years and living like a king in Patagonia."

He explained that it was the blog name that was important for spewing bullshit on the internet. Nobody would read "facts-just-made-up-by-Ari." That's why the Valhalla books sales have dwindled.
