Happy birthday to Shipmaster Rtas 'Vadum!

Today is his -463rd birthday!

Rtas was born on Sanghelios and raised in a keep by the sea. He spent much of his childhood exploring the shoreline and hunting the creatures within. He graduated with honors from a top war college, setting the course for his advancement.

By 2552, he held the rank of Special Operations Commander, specializing in discreet, unconventional warfare--often answering directly to a Hierarch. He served under then-Supreme Commander Thel 'Vadam(ee), who tasked him with investigating the agricultural support ship Infinite Succor, which sent the fleet a distress beacon. Once on board, 'Vadum(ee) discovered that the ship had been overtaken by the Flood, making him one of the first to encounter the outbreak from Installation 04. Recognizing the threat of the Flood spreading, he and his team fought their way to the bridge to initiate self-destruction protocols. Before he could escape, he was forced to fight his Flood-infected comrade, Bero 'Kusovai, who had been his best swordsman. During the engagement, the Flood form cut off 'Vadum's left mandibles with an energy sword, leaving him permanently maimed.

After the destruction of Installation 04, he and Thel 'Vadam were given a mission to find and kill Sesa 'Refumee, a Covenant defector who was labeled a heretic for his (correct) denial of the Great Journey. By this point, his once-superior Thel 'Vadam had been publicly shamed, stripped of his title, and was appointed as the Arbiter. Though Rtas lost respect for Thel, he still recognized him as a skilled warrior and valuable asset.

Rtas and Thel fought their way through the gas mine, killing the heretic leader and taking 343 Guilty Spark with them. When the Prophet of Regret arrived at Earth unprepared and fled to Installation 05, Rtas sent a large group of reinforcements to protect the Hierarch, before being unknowingly thwarted by the Prophet of Truth. When Truth used these events to justify the Changing of the Guard, he protested but accepted the decision.

However, following these events, he and Thel forged a mutual trust in their unified disagreement with the decision, and their experiences fighting together. When Thel was betrayed by Tartarus, Rtas was the first person he told, kicking off the Great Schism and forming the first Covenant separatist group.

While Thel fought his way to Installation 05's control room to prevent the firing of the Halo, 'Vadum engaged Jiralhanae forces in orbit, capturing the Kerel-pattern assault carrier Shadow of Intent, which would become the flagship of the newly-formed Fleet of Retribution. Rtas was instrumental in forming an alliance with the humans, quickly recognizing the importance of Flood containment above their previous hostilities. He ordered his fleet to glass Voi, a restrained measure meant to balance his serious interest in containment with the delicate alliance with the UNSC.

At the close of the war, Rtas and the fleet would follow Thel and the UNSC to the Ark, providing joint support to pave the way for Master Chief and Thel to stop Truth. When the ceasefire between the humans and Sangheili was formalized, he escorted Thel back to Sanghelios, but would not stay for long.

Though he grew weary of fighting, Rtas continued to serve as commander of the Shadow of Intent. After answering a distress signal from the colony Rahnelo, he learned that some San'Shyuum--who had largely gone into hiding after the end of the war--were still alive through Prelate Tem'Bhetek. He went on a mission with Tul 'Juran to stop 'Bhetek's misguided revenge efforts against the Sangheili, believing that the Swords of Sanghelios were responsible for the death of his family. Rtas convinced him of the truth, and 'Bhetek died trying to aid him. After this encounter, Rtas set aside his resentment of the San'Shyuum, recognizing that some deserved death, but some, like 'Bhetek, had also been deceived. Though he was offered leave by Thel, who was now a brother to him, Rtas declined, having learned that thousands of San'Shyuum yet survived, and was determined to locate those responsible for the lies of the Covenant. By present canon, he continues this campaign.

While serving the Covenant, Rtas was devout but not a zealot, willing to challenge orders from the San'Shyuum, including threatening to kill the Minister on the Infinite Succor for his singular interest in his own safety over Flood containment protocols, and his vocal disagreement with the Changing of the Guard. Though he is war-weary and embarrassed by his disfigurement, which makes it difficult for him to enunciate, he still prioritizes his responsibility to his species and loyalty to Thel over his own wishes. He is more tolerant than typical for his species and values pragmatism over tradition, willing to let female Sangheili and Unggoy in his ranks before either was deemed acceptable. In other words, he's special and amazing and you love him. And that's still lore so jot that down.

In canon (~2560), he is turning 73!

If it wasn't apparent, Rtas is this blog's favorite character and EVERYONE IS GOING TO CLAP RIGHT NOW.

Tul's IG Beitrag zu Max' Geburtstag! Vom 10.06.23

"Happy birthday bro @maxiiin_ . I hope this one year apart wouldn’t have made our most valued brotherhood diluted. I think about you and our good goofy memories all the time and I’m truly deeply proud with every effort, growth and achievement you’ve made in the year.

Just wanna let you know that when times are good or bad, I’ll always be there for you as we have always been."

Es ist solch eine wunderbare, herzerwärmende und aufrichtige Freundschaft. Das wünscht sich doch jeder?! Ich kann es kaum erwarten bis sie wieder zusammen sind. <3

Between Us (S01E10)

It's been like 11 days, since I saw the episode, but everytime I tried to write something my mind immediately started screeching like a super angry pterodactyl...

Everything was so cute and adorable and almost perfect at the start of the episode, then what the fuck happened?! Why are they stupid?!

I love them! I really do! But tgey are a little bit stupid...

They are basically together, they:ve been for episodes at this point. Why can't they say it with words too!

I know that it is more complicated than this, but I'm a bit frustrated. Let me leave rationality and a good analysis for later. Right now I just have rage inside of me...

So happy for Dean and Pharm though...

And also curious about what will happen next to Waan and Tul! I thought that Waan birthday scene with Wiew was so cute. It also seems like their father is regretting his actions. Let's see where it will go!

Happy birthday to Tul 'Juran!

Today is her -511th birthday!

Tul is a Scion--the surviving daughter of her kaidon father and protector of his heir, her child brother. Tul defied Sangheili patriarchal military structure by demanding to join Rtas 'Vadum's crew to avenge her father and older brothers' deaths. After successfully serving aboard the Shadow of Intent, Thel 'Vadam changed Swords of Sanghelios policy to allow women into the military, at 'Vadum's recommendation.

In canon (~2560), she is turning 25!

New Evidence!! (Maggie and Star Host Connection)

MC finally released an update on the progress of the comic’s next update and the reason for delay, and with it, we have two new shots to analyze! It also provides a good opportunity for me to review one of the “common knowledge” theories of the fandom for those of you who are new. (I might make a separate post later with a summarization, to the best of my abilities, of all the theories we currently accept as canon as a fandom.) So, let’s get into it.

RECAP: MAGGIE’S FAIRYTALE

For those of you who don’t know, every main character (specifically, each host) has a fairytale that MC has confirmed will parallel their story. I’ll go into the others in another post, but for now we’re focusing on Maggie’s: The Beauty and The Beast. Maggie’s story will take her away from Gil and towards a new character, who will help her through her fear of a real relationship (which has manifested in her shallow tastes in people) and eventually show her what it means to love. It is my personal belief, as a veteran AD theorist, that Ava is the reason Maggie is all guarded and shallow, as they were probably each other’s first loves (or just first really close relationship, even if it was platonic) and things ended badly, resulting in Maggie becoming closed off. 

Above we have panel #0358, which is the premise for a lot of theories in this fandom. In this post, I wanted to bring it back to remind everyone the evidence for many theories that are just “common knowledge” these days, i.e. Maggie ending up with Star Host specifically. The panel above is when Gil is making him and Maggie tea, and her cup has a teabag with a green triangle (symbolic of Maggie) and a yellow star (symbolic of Erios, the star host) combined, which has been the basis for a lot of theorists even before analyzing the BaTB connections. Combining the fairytale and this panel though, we can conclude that Maggie will end up in some sort of relationship with Erios very soon and, over time, will fall for them for their personality regardless of their looks. 

[Note 1: Star Host’s pronouns have been confirmed to be they/them. 

Note 2: We know Erios’ name from snacks on the ship translated to be wishing ‘Erios’ a happy birthday, I believe.]

ANALYSIS TIME!!

Image One:

First impressions:

This is definitely the star host based on the star shaped helmet and the guitar, which matches that of the Star Host’s silhouette on the cast page.

No other clear geometric shapes (or even vague ones) except for the notable pink triangle buttons on the front of the coat. 

“tube”-like patterns on neck and torso resemble that of a high-up TiTAN follower but maybe they’re an escaped follower? Coincidences don’t happen in AD and there’s no way this character’s a devout follower based on their outfit

Triangles are also very prominent everywhere in the background of this shot, which I have a mini-theory about later in this post

Image Two:

First Impressions:

More triangles present in background

Paradise-eqsue feel to the scenery (this was present in the first image as well, it’s just more visible here)

Five new (background) characters; We know they aren’t mains because none of them (silhouette or shape-symbols) match with unidentified cast characters

New bg characters also have triangle themes (in a lot of ways)

In this post I mostly just wanted to share my thoughts/impressions on the panels and point out some imagery things for them, but I do have a minor theory that I’d like to share.

THEORY: ERIOS’S LOVE OF MAGGIE

One of the curious things about the BaTB story paralleling with Maggie is that in the fairytale, the Beast needs Belle to fall in love with him for his personality in order to break the spell put on him and his castle. While I don’t believe Erios is under any sort of spell, I’ve been looking for something to explain a need (or reason) for Erios to become close to (or obsessed with?) Maggie in the first place. These images helped.

I believe that, for some reason, Erios and the fellow people on this planet are awaiting fulfillment of some sort of religious prophecy (?) involving a girl with strong ties to triangles. Everything on this planet, from what we’ve seen, is centred around the triangle. Why would that be the case if Erios, the character of this planet, is the star host? Because they’re awaiting the arrival of their foretold love. The background characters’ designs also imply that Erios is in some position of leadership on this planet, as they seem to be an exception to the triangle basis of character design. All the other characters also seem to merge better with the scenery of the planet than Erios, which means that they are either above conforming to the norm (which is what I’m leaning towards) or maybe they’re from another planet. 

There isn’t much to base this theory off of but there’s something to the fact that the planet and new bg characters are created around the triangle, and the setting design does imply a paradise (utopian.dystopian possibly) vibe to the planet, which means a “prophecy” is not out of the question. Especially not when Odin’s planet had mythology about Wrathia and Nevy (and minorly Pedri and Tuls too).
