Holy shit, is the bleed from Candela Obscura just...basically magical radiation??? Or like, just straight up radiation?????
If just being exposed to it (not even having to touch it directly) is enough to weaken the human body (because they take a bleed mark when they get too close to it),
if there's a chance that prolonged exposure to copious amounts of it could mutate you (or start disintegrating you) in some shape or form like when they take a scar after getting four bleed marks,
and if it had a hand in the straight up obliteration of an entire civilization because the people were trying to use it to gain power and then ended up suffering direct damage from it as well as creatures mutated by it (and the bleed and its mutated creatures are still around to fuck with the citizens of the new civilization)
THAT'S JUST BASICALLY MAGICAL RADIATION

Trying to piece together the miscommunication between Link and Normal where they both think the other doesn't know what they want and I think it's that the level of results they're each looking for is different. Link wants to know what to do from moment to moment and every decision in each moment is backed by "which option gets fewer people hurt or killed." Whereas Normal isn't looking for a moment-to-moment goal, he's looking for a long term goal of helping the Doodler, and so what that looks like from moment to moment isn't always going to look the same.
So like, the moment with the pick. To Link, Normal is the one who doesn't know what to do because Normal doesn't know what to do in that moment to resolve the anchor, while Link takes a quick action. But from Normal's point of view it looks like Link has no idea what he's doing because his actions had no thought towards the ongoing Doodler problem.

did you guys know that forneus and benreece arent even the main characters. theyre just side characters technically. on/off turned genuinely antagonistic [at the end they genuinely become antagonistic but its kind ot out of their hands at that point] ones at that. like theyre not even running the show. but you probably thought they did given how i talk about them.

I wanna ask Athena Cykes from AMNT a question if you don't mind;
Who's Venus, like are they you- Since your middle name is Venus or-
Oh... ack... c'mon, Venus. Face the past, face the past.
It's actually something I don't really want to talk about. My mother did name me "Athena Venus Cykes", yes, but there's a greater meaning. However, very few people know. Only the people who were directly involved with my return from Europe know the details, and I've specifically asked for them to keep quiet.
Guess I let something slip...
As for what I think you're asking, no. I would not say that Athena Cykes is Venus...
(Note from S-P for you: The identity of Venus is a major plot point in AMNT, and the story has not been published far enough for me to provide non-vague details past anything suggested thus far. I'd love to enthuse, but our yellow lawyer isn't quite willing yet. The time is, however, coming. It will be revealed before Ashes Remain ends)
