When i use kin as a verb i use it in the same way i use introject as a verb and it's just weird and upsetting when ppl insist kin can never be both an action and an identity. I can say I introjected Valentino and nobody says shit but then I say I kin Valentino and suddenly it's a big problem of language misuse and implying that kin is not an identity?? Is my fictive identity somehow not real if it has an element of action to it? It happened in the back of my brain while I wasn't looking, but it was nevertheless an action, and we experience our kin identities in the same way. Why the hell do people accept system experiences so easily but then purity test the exact same experience if framed as kin

Given that Aragorn and Denethor look nearly identical (and fandom almost completely ignores this!) I give you a selection of possible explanations given by Gondorians when polled on this issue:

Aragorn is clone of Denethor created by Gandalf

Aragorn is Ecthelion’s bastard son

Aragorn is Denethor’s bastard son(???)

Denethor is actually Arathorn’s son(???????)

They're twins separated at birth

Dúnedain are all so inbred they have like 3 possible appearances at this point, they're not special

Aragorn is a shapechanging Maia

They're a pair of reincarnated siblings

They don't actually look like that, they just use glamours and are both modelling themselves on the same person

I’m so grateful that you’re a Will mother, too. Not that you don’t love both, I know you do, but it feels extremely rare to find an artist whose #1 is Will these days. Anyways, thanks for always doing him justice with your beautiful art 💛

HAHA one of my long term life goals is raising a child as sweet as him, i think that sums up how much i love him 😭

anyways, speaking of cannibalism, wrt frey pies in particular, it just hit me that the rat cook song is not just a way for wyman to slyly telegraph what he did w/o any of his in-world foes noticing, it could also be his justification just as much as inspiration. let's look back at how we learned of the legend through bran:

"It was not for murder that the gods cursed him," Old Nan said, "nor for serving the Andal king his son in a pie. A man has a right to vengeance. But he slew a guest beneath his roof, and that the gods cannot forgive." -Bran IV, aSoS

so, in other words: 1) violating guest right is the most heinous of crimes and 2) if guest right is not violated then murder and even cannibalizing the murdered to feed to their own kin is a-ok so long as the motive is personal revenge. by giving guest gifts to the 3 frey envoys to end any guest rite bond asap and get to the killings, wyman not only gets just a feeling of moral superiority by at least not committing the same type of crime as the enemies he killed, he also ensured that his vengeance could be divinely sanctioned as a natural right correctly exercised, unlike how the rat cook did his. he learned his lessons from this northern legend and improved upon the actions of this nightfort cook accordingly. thing is, the justified right to vengeance has to be just an old gods thing, not fitting in with the seven (which house manderly had converted to 1000s of years ago back in the reach) as the christainity stand-in, which is just evidence of the depth of manderly northern assimilation and/or that old dark ways never entirely disappear, no matter the religion. wyman manderly can still worship the "new" gods with just as much urge toward old-fashioned bloody revenge as any old gods worshipping northman, not so different from his vassal ser bartimus in the wolf's den who bragged to davos that his ancestors were likely among those who once hung slavers' entrails in a heart tree as a bloody offering to the old gods.

non-exhaustive list of canon powers Nico di Angelo either has shown or is heavily implied to have:

Shadow-travel

Manipulation of shadows/darkness (also possibly use of shadows as a pocket-dimension a la Magicians using the Duat in The Kane Chronicles)

Becoming intangible/shadows

Complete control over skeletons/bones (dead or alive, including summoning, reanimation, and/or changing shape of them) and being able to sense their presence

Summoning, reanimating, commanding, and dispelling the dead/undead (Skeletons, zombies, ghosts, etc & varieties) and being able to sense their presence

Ability to understand/communicate with the dead/undead and potentially other beings of the Underworld

Inherent complete comprehension of Latin

Ability to perceive the usually unperceivable/possibly look upon a deity’s true form without repercussion (at least moreso than the average demigod, though possibly is restricted to chthonic beings) (ex: Tartarus, potentially also interacting with his parents, etc)

Interacting tangibly with ghosts (implied to be a Ghost King thing rather than a Hades/Pluto thing)

Partial or complete immunity to different effects of the Underworld/things within (can consume food/drink of or in the Underworld without repercussions, effects from the Lethe wear off over time instead of being permanent like usual for mortals, etc)

Astral projection/”Walking in dreams”

Dream manipulation and projection (Sending dreams to others, etc.) (presumably includes sharing/projecting dreams with others) alongside inflicting sleep upon others even from a distance.

Illusions

Manipulation of emotions/aura that inflicts specific emotions on others (ex.: radiating fear/death onto enemies)

Projection of emotions and memories onto others (can be so forceful it causes physical damage like a shockwave)

Geokinesis (all forms but also specifically generating black marble) (presumably also specialized control over precious gemstones & non-paper currency)

Temperature manipulation (seemingly only lowering temperature)/creating frost)

Control/manipulation of souls, including living beings (ex: ripping out Bryce Lawrence’s soul)

Perceiving/reading/judging of souls (most likely also a Ghost King thing over Hades/Pluto thing, but possibly both)

Converting living into dead/undead, aka instakill (ex: disintegrating monsters to bone with one touch)

Lowering or manipulation of own vitals (breathing, heart rate, etc)

Death Trance/pseudo-hibernation (possibly also general control over states of consciousness at least for self, in combo with control over vitals & dreams)

Sensing death (impending or when it occurs, sometimes receiving dreams/visions of it occurring)

Able to sense other children of Hades/Pluto (potentially also other chthonic beings in general/able to identify based on sense alone) and also just living beings in general, such as mortals (possibly via souls).

Improved navigation underground/in the Underworld and ability to traverse restricted or normally unnavigable parts of the Underworld

Enhanced strength/abilities when in the Underworld

Inherently unnaturally quiet (possibly able to silence sound on a designated target)

Hiding/shielding self from being perceived (seemingly related to shadows/silence)

I'm unsure if I'll ever line / finish these but have my slugcat designs!

More information about them under the cut.

Note: Some of these have nicknames! Example being Danger and Milk, they function like Nightcat is for Watcher

Survivor and Monk: Some sort of feathered light fury slugcat hybrid. However due to mutation shenanigans Monk does not have the light fury tail. That or maybe Monk is just too young to have their light fury tail grown yet? Who knows? (He/It for Survivor and She/It for Monk)

Hunter: Not much else to say here except they have green markings on them to signify they belonged to NSH. This version of Hunter does not have rot however. She does have some sort of sickness but it is uncertain what it is or what caused it. A rot parasite however is not it. (She/They/It)

Danger/Artificer: Red lizard hybrid, cannot throw spears or craft explosive ones! Can throw bombs however and have a far more damaging maul to make up for it. Explosive jump is caused by her tail. Due to the lizard hybrid too the explosion did not cause a burn scar, however it did still take out her eye (She/It)

Milk/Rivulet: Lives in the frozen ocean near Moon after delivering the rarefraction cell, the white pelts allow her to camouflage in the snow from predators (Any)

Twitch/Spearmaster: Mostly just a fancy design, however is able to communicate with Suns directly through holograms before Pebbles does the thing (Any)

Nightcat/Watcher: Mole lizard, night fury slugcat hybrid. Relies more on the frills on his face and tail rather than his eyes to understand his surroundings. Can see but poor vision (He/It)

Saint: Echo hybrid as we all know, the black gold ears help him understand echos and Iterators without the mark of communication (He/Echo/It)

Gourmand: May re-do his design to be less white but aside from that, nothing special here, just a fancy design. His pups are also food inspired (He/They/It)

Inv/Enot: Light fury slugcat hybrid. Meant to be twins opposite / the long lost sibling of Watcher. Has heterochromia. (Void/It/neopronouns)

As of now there is no explaination as to why some slugcat are lizard and dragon hybrids while some are not.
