I was watching a Solas dancing at Halamshiral mod video and my 6 yr old came up and watched over my shoulder and started laughing and said, “he’s a bawld…hah he’s a bawld elf” and now I’m picturing children in Thedas coming up to solas and being like “why are you bawld?”

okay i suppose i'm cursed now but i've been thinking about arcane and what that means for casting spells. so heeeere we go

arcane is quite strange as a stat. none of the spells in elden ring purely uses it for casting, it has to be combined with something else.

it being referred to as "secrets of the gods" is the most interesting part of it to me. but what does it DO?

arcane basically functions like a luck stat. it boosts your discovery, meaning it boosts your drop rate for items. the starting class that has the highest arcane stat is the Bandit. Higher arcane also means that it boosts immunity to both holy damage and death blight. For status effects, it increases the proc for blood loss, poison, sleep, and madness. The sorceries and incantations it's used for are the oracle bubbles, then blood and dragon communion incantations, but not dragon cult.

but what does this mean, and why does it have that epithet, in a game that's about people ascending to godhood?

well, it's most likely fate, isn't it? if it's linked to discovery, and the one sorcery that uses it is oracular, from the super ancient society, and one incantation makes you go for blood loss and the other requires you to kill dragons/drakes for it, fate or making your own luck has to be it. Bandit starts with an arcane of 14 and is only level 5 initially. that's insane. that is like guaranteeing you can proc bleeding and use sleep pots like you're the fucking sandman if you keep that up.

so with that in mind it's not REALLY a magic stat so much as an "occult" stat. the secret sauce stat. for roleplay purposes i guess it's the stat that puts the extra thumb on the scale for you, how blessed you are. if we're going by how the empyreans need to get rid of their bodies to change their fate, it strikes me as the fate or magic baked into the body, i.e the "secrets of the gods"

Okay, spoilers for Spiderman: Across the Spider-Verse, so uh. Y'know, keep scrolling and stuff if you don't want that.

Okay, all good? Great.

The thing about Miguel going on about how "canon events" being disrupted destroys dimensions is that... he's wrong?

I mean, we've already seen Earth-42 and Earth-1610's "canon events" being disrupted with the whole dimension hoping spider, and stuff, and they're both still standing. Sure, Earth-42 is a little worse for wear, but it didn't literally glitch out of existance like Miguel's new dimension did.

And the thing is, neither is Pavitr Prabhakar's. Iirc, his earth isn't glitching at all even after disrupting the canon event. One of The Spot's holes is swallowing it slowly which is to be expected when a man made of inter-dimensional portals throws himself head-first into a collider, if you ask me.

What happened to Miguel's world looks a lot more like what happens to the spider-people if they stay in a dimension they're not supposed to be in for too long.

(Which is where this entire theory starts to unravel on my end bc he was already wearing a watch that should've prevented his presence from glitching things out. Also, the spider from Earth-42 is still in Earth-1610 at the begining of the movie and everything is, once again, completely fine. And also, nothing's happened to Gwen even though she probably spends a mayority of her time in Spider HQ and hasn't been home in months, though she does hop around a bit so that might be preventing anything bad from happening? Point is, I don't think the running theory of disrupting "canon events" being the thing that levels universes is Correct. Idk exactly how wrong it is. But it is.)

That Sort Of Enemies to Lovers Modern Javid Au That I’ll Never Write

• Ok basically

• Jack and Davey don’t know each other

• And they both know Katherine

• And Kath and Davey get into a fight and Kath asks Jack for help

• It’s easily resolved but now from the very little Jack knows about Davey, he kinda hates him

• Then the friend group throws a party or something I dunno their like college age in this

• And Jack’s first impression on meeting Davey is that “this is the asshole who made Kathy mad? Oh fuck he’s hot quick don’t get feelings uuuuuh”

• And Jack sort of insults David ten seconds after meeting him in person

• So now Davey hates Jack too

• But their both part of the front group now so they keep seeing each other and then Jack gets a job at Davey’s favorite café and turns out they live in the same dorm building so yeah

• Eventually Jack is like “fuck it” and sort of apologizes

• And Davey just couldn’t care less he’s kinda done with this flirty art student who made his life way harder with all his other friends but he excepts it

• So they keep seeing each other but now they just kinda ignore it

• Until they’re at a Halloween party and they both start talking to each other not realizing who they are because Halloween costumes and masks

• But then someone calls them by their names and they look at each other like “you mean the conversation I’ve been having for the last hour about Star Wars isn’t some friend of a friend and instead the guy who royally pissed me off the first time I met him?”

SO YEAH THAT’S THE FIRST PART I HAVE TO LEAVE NOW PART TWO IN THE AFTERNOON METHINKS

UNGILDED CAGE IS KEPT WITHIN THE CONFINES OF HIS TENT RATHER THAN IN MORDOR'S FASHIONED DUNGEON, SO THAT NO UNNECESSARY HARM WOULD COME TO HER BY THE MORE UNRULY OF HIS CHILDREN. she is a high valued prisoner, and he would not have her sullied while she is still worth a high price. FOR HE KNOWS BETTER THAN ANY, WHAT IT IS LIKE TO LOSE CHILDREN. her mother, heruni Altáriel, has indeed taken many from him. merciless, AND SOME, RIGHT BEFORE HIS VERY EYES. BUT NEVER HAS SHE WATCHED AS HE WEPT OVER THEIR REMAINS. what mercy might he wish to afford her, other than that which he already has? MUCH MORE THAN SHE DESERVES, IN HIS OPINION. yet . . . perhaps by her own standards, if the uruk were more highly regarded. he grapples not, with the lady celebrían's capture.

BEYOND HER QUIET CHANT OF COURAGE, ONE OF DEATH SWELLS LIKE A TIDE TO DROWN IT OUT. spelling of death. "death into darkness, one phantom in fire, death into darkness, and one phantom to bind them in fire." HIS NARROWED EYES CAST UPON HER, WITH LIPS TURNED UP IN A SOFT SNEER. barely detectable, but just enough to have an effect on his expression. hands docilely resting at his sides. "you remind me of your lady mother." his low voice strains and breaks, as he turns on his heel and begins pacing. hearth glowing and bringing colour to soft pale skin. his head turns minutely in her direction. "in both beauty . . . and fire." HE CONTINUES, IN HER MOTHER TONGUE. a soft shake shifting piked ears. ENDURING HER VITRIOL WITH GRACE.

URUK. HIS MOUTH TILTS A BIT HIGHER IF ONLY A MOMENT. HIS SHOULDERS TURN TO MEET HIS HEAD AS STRIDE TAKES TOWARDS HER CONFINEMENT. CROUCHING, WITH HAND DANGLING FROM HIS THIGH. "no." he admits. still smiling, 'neath lowered brows. "however . . . it is the burden of any parent, that demands we do whatever it takes to keep them safe." he is counting on this. steel blue eyes flickering, detecting all which she offers. "free." this is all he says, for now.
