The previous poll is still going, but since i'm impatient (like our main star of the week... ):

"Her eyes follow me all the way home and into bed-- Endouring, deep, dark eyes... that see everything, and never look away. I dream a clammy "cold-turkey" sort of dream: Numb sex, an indefiniable sense of loss, confusion, blizzards of damp, peeling skin-- fat, blue tongues crawling free from corpse mouths... That's a pleasant surprise. Dreaming's a vital sign. First time I've dreamt since the Ice-Age set in. Your soul dies if you stop dreaming."

Now then.

I know I said I was gonna put the blog on indefiniate hiatus after one more Elder Magic drabble and Pikmin drabble...

But I've changed my mind. I am in a slightly better headspace now than when I made that decision, so I'mma stick around.

I'm also gonna try to be a bit more pro-active about approaching people for RPs, and try not to get immediately discouraged when some of those plans fall through.

I will say one thing though...

Anybody with Yukari or Ran muses would be very much appreciated, Chen needs her moms~

re: necrophilia, you might be interested in the book Screw Consent by Jospeh Fischel. He's a legal academic who looks at the framework of consent by examining cases where it doesn't function as intended, and one of his chapters is about cases where consent doesn't function as intended because the subject is not an adult human (including necrophilia). He basically comes to the conclusion that a community might prohibit acts in that category for other reasons, such as legitimate health risks, but that the consent paradigm isn't a functional framework for them. I agree with the point you made about wills and stuff as well -- I forget if he gets into that side of the argument, but even if not I thought you would be interested in the other angles he does look at.

that actually does sound super interesting! I'll add it to my list!

All of whom are wearing fancy dress from an indefiniable historical period (sometimes several different ones)

The plot structures of movies need to start taking more cues from classic opera. Open with fucker in a hat who directly addresses the audience and explains what's going on in a way that raises far more questions than it answers, then immediately drop the viewer into the middle of a shouting argument between three of the weirdest people you can possibly imagine.

Okay, I've thought real hard about this one.

I see two major issues with firearms:

Extremely non-ideal in space or in any place where keeping the air in is vital;

Dependent on external resources (no bullets = you are fucked)

This explains why Lyctors do not use them. If you need to fight for indefinie amount of time and to not spend time on recharging (when fighting Heralds), melee weapons are way better.

The next bit does not sound very convincing to me, but it is the only explanation I came up with. Starting points:

Cohort is mostly used as an invasion force;

Spaceships are expensive, especially the ones that can make planetfall;

Planets invaded have some infrastructure, industry, supply chains;

So the way I see it: it is hard to transfer a lot of people and resources to the planet. The easiest way to do so is to take some light, fast and relatively small ship(s). Especially relevant if ppl of the planet have something to shoot at ships. Put there some necros and some soldiers. Stuff all free space with anything that will help necros in this inital and the most crucial period before they can make thanergic bloom.

Next, I do not think people on the planets are stupid and engage immediately to help necros. I think irl it is not some One Single Heroic Strike, and they need to spend quite some time. You shoot at people, people run away, you do not have thanergy and also out of resources. With cold weapons you do not need resources.

I also think that necros provide shields for everyone, because noone uses armor.

Also, there is a possibility of FFying your necro I think)))

I do not like this explanation.

Another one I have is darker: the other side actually has necros, but more in Dragon Age style, particularly Qunari, who are very anti-magic but do use mages in horrible ways, cause they need it to fight mages. And swords are helpful against all sorts of necromantic creations.

The darkest but actually the most logical explanation: Cohort is VERY not united. They fight each other a lot, while people on the planet watch and eat popcorn. The one who wins the infighting gets the most resources out of the planet. The empire wins anyway the moment they are on the planet.

weaponry in the locked tomb is so interesting because when you break it down it's like:

guns exist in-universe but are used by the freedom fighter terrorist organization almost exclusively

swords are (were?) commonplace enough that gideon was able to find and train with a decently well-balanced two-hander on the ninth, despite the fact that the ninth has no military force or even interplanetary traffic. gideon's sword is at least 20 years old, probably older

swords are definitely still in use within the empire, at least by cavaliers, but likely within the cohort as a whole. to my memory there are no mentions of cohort members carrying military-issue guns

even though they're trained in a variety of weapons and techniques, cavaliers (are supposed to) carry exclusively rapiers. gideon prefers her two-hander and cam carries twin shortswords, but these seem to be rare and shocking exceptions to the standard.

rapiers are used by cavaliers explicitly for the purpose of lyctorhood. they're light enough that a scrawny necromancer without swordfighting experience can pick it up and rely on their cav's training without needing to build the muscle to wield the sword effectively

because of the secretive nature of the megatheorem, and lyctorhood as a whole, most people just follow the rapier rule because it's tradition. it is what is done. harrow makes this pretty clear at the beginning of gtn

cavaliers can carry a variety of offhand weapons. it seems like the full spectrum of middle age weaponry is possible - but still, no guns. not even secretly, as with cam's dual blades. some cavs choose to carry material for their necromancers as their offhand - ortus carries a bowl of bones for harrow, and i can only assume "the powder" mentioned as harrow's choice for gideon's offhand towards the beginning of gtn is some kind of bone dust

from a doylist perspective, all of this creates a aesthetic that starts very analog and gothic and gradually grows into a more standard sci-fi space opera through the series. by ntn, we've hit most of the established genre weaponry tropes that we've come to expect from older futuristic space media like star wars and alien. blasters and guns are standard fare, and it makes sense to hold off on introducing them until the scope of the story gets broader and more interplanetary

from a watsonian perspective, it's a little more difficult to draw concrete conclusions without the context that atn will inevitably provide. but if i had to hedge a guess, i'd say that, as with most things, It's All John Gaius's Fault. when he resurrected the galaxy i'd assume that he wanted to keep the aesthetics of medieval imperialism, and given his 21st century liberalism probably didn't want guns to be part of the equation. but they were anyways - we know this because wake carries a big one - and instead of standardizing firearms within his military and for his lyctors, he clings to the aesthetics of swordplay. please correct me if i'm remembering it wrong, but to my knowledge every gun shown in the series is either directly linked to boe or implied to be sourced from them. jod dooms his own lyctors and military by refusing to update their weaponry.

all of this poses a lot of questions about atn: who will carry a gun, and why? where did the gun come from? why DON'T the lyctors just use firearms? and most importantly: will they be fighting zombies with swords???

Morgoth's ultimate fate — results

Thank you for voting!

The most canon-ish option (Turin kills Morgoth + Arda is destroyed) won the poll.

Summary: 43 votes fro Arda being destroyed, 25 for not destroyed, 16 for other. Among the two first groups: 16 for Morgoth being defeated simply by the War of Wrath happening, 34 for Turin Turambar with his talking black sword, 7 for a different way of killing Morgoth, 11 for something more nuanced than killing him.

Charts:

Is defeated for good, we're done: 3 votes.

Won't come back, but for the full result we need Arda to be destroyed: 13 votes.

Will come back and be killed by Turin w Anglachel|Gurthang and we're done: 14 votes.

Above + but also Arda needs to be destroyed: 20 votes.

Will come back and be killed in a different way and we're done: 3 votes.

Above + but also Arda needs to be destroyed: 4 votes.

Will come back and some nuanced answer in comments (Arda is not destroyed): 5 votes.

Will come back and some nuanced answer in comments (Arda is destroyed): 6 votes.

Won't come back, but won't be fully defeated either, it just goes on indefini: 10 votes.

I'm strongly attached to more than one option depending on (in comments): 5 votes.

Something even more nuanced (in comments): 1 vote.

Era uma criança que perdera o pai a pouco tempo - e o “monge”

É um curta muito sensível

Ele fica revoltado com Deus

E sobe todas as escadas ate o templo revoltado querendo quebrar tudo

Ele tem apenas 10 anos

Ele entra no templo e quebra um vaso e todo desnorteado briga com Deus e diz “você não existe”

É quando o monge começa a dizer a ele sobre a vida, e sobre a vida ser um milagre, do ano de fazer mitose e meiose no útero ao nascer, e depois o de se transformar, Deus é um construtor, nem ele tem uma ideia acabada do próprio universo “penso eu” diz o monge. O monge então apresenta ao menino uma ideia de um deus que não podemos compreender, mas que se expressa através do nascer e do morrer, do construir e do desconstruir. E que nos também podemos construir e reconstruir nossa relação com deus e nossa forma de pensá-lo. Definir deus é indefini-lo, porque esse ser é indescritível. Tudo precisa nascer, viver e morrer, e tudo está fazendo isso o tempo inteiro. Todo tempo ele está trabalhando, ele é a própria vida e todas as reações químicas acontecendo agora.
