So like um We kind of have a problem.

Our Guy (not godtiered), He went to His um Planet World Queen Denizen, Nix and asked for guidance, and She like um told him (very. straightforwardly. (Im jealous because My Stupid Guy only speaks in stupid fuvking riddles) to help one of those um four Black Chess Guys, the "Little One Who Likes To Dance" with something. It doesn't matter with what tho um, because of course He didnt (He could easily do that tho Hes stupidly picky and helps only Those that "He Can Read" or whatever, it's like His fuvking thing) and the um Other Three Chess Dudes died, because of that.

Anyway um long story short our Blood Prince Guy (godtiered), Shes "friends" with Chess Guys and because of that Picky Guy and Blood Guy had an argument and yada yada BOOM Picky Guy is dead (thanks for nothing), Prince Guy is HELLA mad and "The Little Chess Guy" got the fuvking Black Queens ring thing and um like… Other Froggernet Guys have some "guides" for that, but like most of them are garbage fuvking jokes (because ha ha Funny Little Guy). He and the Prince are NO. JOKE. NOW. Please help,,, We only have one godtiered Guy left, a Heart Page Guy, who was Picky Nothing Guys Partner and They are really um… sad lets say ha…ha.

Please, what are the Little Guys weaknesses (um do not worry about the prototypings, We know what powers He should have etc, We only need info about The Guy) and what can We do to stop the Prince (I know You don't know Her, but like maybe it's like a um common thing with Princes?? idk???)

Oh God. I know what you're talking about- CD right? Yeah, don't underestimate him. He has like a billion bombs and slight Doom affinity, so if you have an anti-Doom weapon or something with enough Life charge that might help. He is Suuuuuuupper unpredictable- I think he's a Bard? So the most effective strats are to either calm him down or turn the chaos in your favor. Unless you have a high-level Mind player or something, you won't be able to stop the chaos, so just focus on going with the flow. Don't try to overthink it, but do try to keep your limits intact. Remember that fleeing is strategic sometimes and that you can't fight this guy forever. However, he has lower health than the other Derse Agents, so shouldn't take As Much hits to take down. Compared to other Ringbearers of course. Oh, and don't forget about the bombs! Explosion Protection Equipment will be essential, as well as stuff to put out fires. Things will get messy quick, and he's fast, so try to put out the fires and not only focus on CD. You need to remember that only targeting him will end in failure. But don't let him outlast you- or else there will be too much fire. He has energy for days, so pace yourself and try to corner him where he can't take control of the arena. That's difficult with the bombs, but that's just something you will have to deal with.

As for the Prince, that is actually something I can help with! Their playstyle/powers are pretty well defined, and although I can't predict how they will use them, I can at least tell you what they are. Princes focus on Execution- or single-target attacks. They do a lot of damage, but not a lot of spread attacks. They'll probably only focus on one of you at a time, so that's a plus! Blood Is a bit more vauge, and I'm not really the best with it, but I do know that they like talking. They will at least try to convince you to give up or doubt your intentions. Don't fall for it! Strike 'em while they monolouge! Or, given the Page of Heart, you have a pretty decent chance to convince 'em to have a change of heart. So maybe focus on that? Killing a friend is always hard, and to be avoided if possible. Of course, it is not always possible, so If they are really stubborn, don't hesitate. You have all the time to regret it later, but focus on what will help the most people. Good luck. You'll need it.

(Should I have said that? Is it really alright to murd- of course its okay. Bad, but sometimes you need to do it. You need to be safe. Help others. Don't look back now.)

For any wedding party participants too young to walk down the aisle, enlist the help of the ring bearer to pull them in a rustic wagon and ensure they still have a shining moment. A burlap "Here comes the bride" banner makes the setup all the more wedding-friendly.

🥙 im not 🍉 but i knew ringbearer well, they overshare way to much and always want to feel like the victim. do not become friends with them unless you wish to hear someone type in baby voice whos 30ish years old and is always complaining about something

Could you draw kid Alastor BUT, instead of his usual suspenders, he’s wearing a mini version of his suit (with shorts, not pants)?

Oho for a while now I've been thinking of putting on his classic look...Just can't find a reason to, save for special occasions I guess. The gilded ones weren't necessary, but I got lost in the fun dressing this lil boy up. And I just LOVE donning him in pink! Makes him pop better and look pristine ✨

"At that moment, young Al learned that he should never walk down a wedding aisle again..."

Elrond with Vilya the Ring of Air

[queenlucythevaliant]

Reepicheep could just walk into Mordor. Easy-peasy.

He could definitely get there, but he wouldn't be my first pick as Ringbearer. I definitely don't think he'd have it any easier than Frodo and Sam. If I had to send Narnians to do the Fellowship's jobs, here's who I'd send:

Reepicheep could kill the Witch King of Angmar

Puddleglum and Hwin could take the Ring to Mordor

Caspian could take the Paths of the Dead, with assorted Old Narnians (Trumpkin, Trufflehunter, etc.) as backup. Drinian is along to sail the ships.

Puzzle could unwittingly contact Sauron via Palantir

Tumnus is my pick for improvising Boromir's funeral lament. We know he's musical and HHB shows that he thinks fast on his feet

On the flip side:

Faramir could stamp out the Green Lady's fire

Bilbo could joyously take the coracle over the edge of the world (unless it's the First Age, in which case it's definitely Eärendil)

Sam would do the Jill thing and rescue Puzzle from the stable, then immediately speed bond and refuse to let anyone hurt him

Any number of Middle Earth warriors could do single combat with Miraz, but I think Aragorn would come up with the plan on the spot the way Peter does. Very similar vibe to the attack on the Black Gate

Also:

Father Christmas could hand out gifts and cryptic advice in Lothlorien; Galadriel could arm the Pevensies and patch up the Beavers' dam

Lucy stands the best chance of anyone at finding the Entwives

Pippin and Cor would have a lot to discuss re: first experience in battle. Pippin and Corin would have a lot to discuss re: everything else

Ramandu and Coraikin have a biweekly book club with Tom Bombadil and Goldberry. Gandalf is also invited, but only pops by once in a great while

WHAT IF MELKOR CALLED SAURON HIS ‘PRECIOUS’ AND WHEN SAURON PUT HIS POWER INTO THE RING PART OF HIS HEART WENT INTO IT TOO AND HIS HEART BELONGED TO MELKOR AND THAT’S WHY THE RINGBEARERS ARE DRAWN TO CALLING THE RING THEIR PRECIOUS???

WHAT IF???

[unremarkablelunacy]

Do you ever think about how, when Gandalf and Bilbo are peacefully smoking together on the hill before the birthday party, the film alludes to the ending? Bilbo sends out one of his smoke rings, and as it dissolves, Gandalf's grey smoke-ship sails through it and away?

The characters don't yet know what is coming--what will be gained, and what will be lost or changed forever by the end. Only we do.

FINISHED RED VALLEY S4 AND IM HAVING A NORMAL ONE

[katakaluptastrophy]

Can we talk about Juno Zeta?

You're living the dream, Master Archivist of the Sixth House. The Archaeology department hates you. The secretaries love you. Your son has risen to the very top of the absolutely unproblematic meritocracy of the House to become Master Warden. Sure, you treated him as a colleague when he was 7 too, but this is much more intellectually satisfying and much better for your publication record (suck it, Archeo). You sit on the Oversight Body, making decisions for the 3 million strong House of the Sixth.

Then the Master Warden gets summoned by god to become a Lyctor. (No civilian has seen a Lyctor for thousands of years. But the information you do have speaks of astonishing power. Are you intrigued? Do you regard it as an even more stellar opportunity for the Master Warden? Do Lyctors have access to interesting material for the archives? Does the possibility of your son becoming an immortal finger and gesture of god ever feel strange?)

A few months later, some fragments come back in a box. There's nothing left of Camilla at all. No one will tell you anything. Every House but the Third and the Ninth has lost its head or heir (the poor girl your son loved is dead. You're never going to get another overly-formal letter from the Fifth begging for Lyctoral documents from your archive.)

Then the Master Warden makes contact from beyond the grave to tell you that the saintly founder of your House left a plan in place in case it ever became necessary to betray god. He tells you why god should be betrayed.

Suddenly, the Oversight Body has to make a decision. To take your home and 3 million people away from the Dominicus System (away from its thanergetic soil, no more necromancers will ever be born). To break the contract of tenderness made on the day of the Resurrection. Do you have time to call back your soldiers in the Cohort? Do you have to leave them behind? Has the Oversight Body ever felt unanimously about something before? And how frank can you be with the House? You have visiting scholars from almost every House, and who knows where the Bureau have eyes and ears.

There are calculations to make. How to transport a whole House? How do you work out that it takes five hundred and thirty-two obselisks? That there are deleterious effects past five hundred and sixty? How do you find a stele that would anchor such a big thanergy transition? (Only the Fifth make stele. Do you try to do it yourselves? Who do you trust on the Fifth to help with that? Is that why Kester Cinque left Koniortos?)

The Master Warden, who is dead, lives inside the body of Camilla, who is not. He picks you - in your capacity as Master Archivist - to be one of the negotiators. How do you integrate 3 million people into a completely alien society with whom your people have been at war for millennia? How does negotiating with terrorists feel compared to academic committees?

What happens then? One day you just...lose it? The sun rises too bright and too blue and you are in agony, unconnected from yourself, screaming and writhing. And when the thing in the sky is at its furthest orbit from you, in some exhausted moment of clarity, you nearly kill yourself using necromancy to restore your sanity. You blind yourself. Do you think beyond that moment? As someone who deals in documents and artefacts and forms in triplicate, do you mourn your sight alongside everything else you have lost? Your son, your home, your god, your sanity...

And now you are a hostage. Sixteen of you in the back of a sweltering truck, held at gunpoint, always moving. The only thing keeping you alive is the possibility of selling you back to the empire that you've betrayed. Your captors have signed a 'no torture' clause, and perhaps they do stick to that. You're needed for providing proof of life and are probably better off than most. But it's too hot, there's not enough water, you can't see, and the only way out is either that the Master Warden gives Blood of Eden a Lyctor or being released to the mercies of the Kindly Prince. You sit in the dark and do mental maths with each other to stay sane.

Somehow, the Master Warden has done it. Without a Lyctor, he's turned his own cell commander against her fellows and you have been released. Most of the Oversight Body can't even walk out of the truck without help. But you're free, and the Master Warden - now in the stolen body of a Lyctor's cavalier - has the sort of mad scheme only he could come up with. Those mental maths will come in handy. The cell commander isn't bad either...

You can't see your son die again (the last time he speaks to you, from that borrowed body, he calls you 'mum' instead of 'Master Archivist'). But you can smell Camilla’s flesh burn. Perhaps the Commander, holding your arm, describes it to you. You follow this new person, your child, now something else, back into the truck where you were held captive and watch as they drive it into the River.

The Tomb is open. Your child is part of a being of strange and unimaginable power. The House Formerly Known as Sixth is on the other side of the universe. You are on the Ninth with a dead cavalier in the body of her necromancer, the Emperor’s construct, legions of demons, and a very mysterious dog...

Anyway, I'm very excited to see what havoc Juno gets to cause in ATN. She's there to be snarky, do psychometry, and be a romanceable MILF. Let her yell at god. And for goodness sake, let her get some peace at the end.
