I've spoken already about Solomon's tendency to name his equipment, but the anthropomorphizing of objects is a very human trait in general. Continuing the theme of their bizarro domesticity, Solomon and MC eventually "adopt" a pet of sorts in Nightbringer.

On day one, Solomon pulled something from his shoe and discovered he'd brought over a small, but pretty, pebble. This pebble, adrift in time like they were but a piece of their homeland nonetheless, was kept in case they'd need it for a spell or something.

Over time, constantly asking where the pebble was and moving it around made them grow a fondness for it, so it got the name Richard. "Richard" is always with one of them, and if they can't find him they'll be frantically texting each other like they lost a kid in a shopping mall.

Richard has a "favorite spot" on the mantle, goes on daily adventures, and he must be present at any (MC Approved) homecooked meals when the two eat together.

Every non-human they know thinks that they're really, really committed to a bizarre, but wholesome, bit.

Every time Solomon wears anything other than his wizard robes that show more skin mc calls him a slut (affectionate)

The Krew works out together, usually honing a particular skill that they wish to work on (agility, weight lifting, defensive maneuvers, etc). Gideon is always extremely excited about it, and as the only one who's actually into fitness, he likes to hype up everyone especially when they beat their PB.

He'd never admit it but seeing Gideon happy is the reason Kremy actually gives a shit rather than phoning it in. The rest, while it's a bit of a struggle, do enjoy having a skill to get them out of a bind.

Hootsie gets put in a little coach outfit too, she's not helping really but isn't she cute???

i think it'd be interesting if the brothers' comments on solomon acting more like a demon than human actually went somewhere. it's really only used for comedy, but even then, it kinda falls flat since it seems to only stem from him being immortal and shady or whatever. if they focused on it and made it have some weight, i think it could be a really good source of angst and character development for solomon.

solomon prides himself on being humanity's protector, the one who will keep his fellow humans safe from unnecessary otherworldly interference. but if demons started comparing him to themselves, denying him his humanity, his entire motivation for doing what he does, how would that make him feel?

Musings on the blood troth's fight or flight

aka me rewatching the FB2, FB3 while folding laundry

I wanna read deeper regarding the blood troth , blood pact created by Albus & Gellert. Atm I know so little about what has been offered in the movies. And it hurts my brain and wallet.

I have so many questions about the implications of the blood troth's "defense mechanism" ( 'sensing the betrayal' of the other party of the magic oath and choking the life out of them)

What are its limitations with the given definition by Albus? How sentient must it be to discern the right amount of thought to be considered as betrayal? The right amount of physical force needed to 'reinforce'(?) or remind the party member about the terms of their blood magical oath.

Because if every couple had an intense argument that subjected their version of the troth to the breaking point, it would defeat the purpose of making the magical binding and keeping your partner alive til death do you part. Divorce would be cheaper.

What's to say this is another version of the Unbreakable vow? But stronger and more intimate? Considering you wouldn't need a 3rd party presence for a Blood pact from what we've seen so far. Unless Abeforth's goats were there somewhere.

Is it less deadlier because the blood troth doesn't truly snuff out the other party's life if he/she doesn't go through their agreed terms of the contract/marriage?

And what of its advantages? I think when those two starry eyed young teens created the blood pact, it had more implications to strengthen their bond. Perhaps a shared strength of magic? Up to what extent though? If the blood pact had been flawless til the end what would've been the other wonders it bestows the two lovers?

Or what curse? (*Insert suspense sfx*)

This is giving corkboard level of research and I have my final requirement deadlines ahead-

Ooooo thank you for explaining the cult 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Would you be able to go in depth about how and why warlocks are hated or the general history or state of your world?

Hope you're having a good time zone 😊

🫶🏽

not really because i haven't really thought about it! and this isn't really my own worldbuilding, this is the general consensus from high fantasy media in general:

Warlocks in general have a reputation for being evil, practicing dark magic, and making pacts with "bad" forces - like demons! they're thought to be servants of evil & are not to be trusted. their magic is usually chaotic and wild, unlike wizardry and witchcraft with are more careful and controlled - and their magic is learned, whereas warlocks get their magic from a powerful entity via some form of payment (ex: their soul)

really, warlocks can be good or bad or somewhere in between like any magic user. but due to the nature/source of their powers, they're seen as evil. the rarity of them only adds to this, since many do indeed get corrupted by their patron - or they sought out their pact for less than savory reasons

I remembered that time I called Fjord a skilled mage (and provided textual support) and got a handful of people in my inbox mad that I was "trying to make Fjord good at everything" (?) but more bafflingly some were mad I called him a mage.

You know I don’t like the “Gale was groomed by Mystra” fanon narrative for so many reasons I can’t even go through them all but let’s set those aside for now and say: there’s already a clear grooming narrative in BG3 canon and it’s WYLL’S STORYLINE… you don’t have to make shit up and actively take away from Gale’s character and story…

[taravangianlistenstothebeachboys]

He told his tale, and one man said, “But who saw this wonder of dragons slain and dragons baffled? What if he—“ “Be still!” The Head Isle-Man said roughly, for he knew, as did most of them, that a wizard may have subtle ways of telling the truth, and may keep the truth to himself, but that if he says a thing the thing is as he says. For that is his mastery.

From A Wizard of Earthsea ch 6.

So how old is the idea of wizards and magic-users always telling the truth? Wildbow’s Otherverse books (Pact and Pale) have magic users who cannot lie without being forsworn, losing their magic due to magic itself being a function of having the trust of the spirits when you tell them the world is so. It seems the expectation that wizards are always truthful in Earthsea is a result of its true-name-based magic system, but it’s unclear exactly how. Wildbow novels in general like to build in mechanical justifications for genre tropes, so is the idea that wizards don’t lie an old free-floating idea?

Literally on wizard lockdown rn 💥💀⌛

YOU 🫵 SHOULD PLAY THE 7 PART PACT @jdragsky's AWESOME WIZARD GAME

This warlock patron is called a Trickster. A Trickster is a powerful otherwordly entity: resourceful, cunning, prone to mischief, manipulative, and deceitful. A Trickster upsets rules and conventions, delighting in pushing boundaries to further their goals.

Tricksters occupy a wonderful and delightful place in mythologies and folklore across all of human cultures, and I think that because often they are powerful with magic abilities, but often not gods, they make perfect Warlock patrons.

This warlock subclass is very unique, mixing abilities similar to a druid (shapechanging), divination wizard (changing rolls), and the rune knight (making others the targets of your attacks).
