[incorrectoldgodsquotes]

Mr. Erskine: Mr. Barrow can’t trace it back to us.

Mr. White: Are you serious right now? Mr. Barrow traces everything back to us. He traces things we haven’t even done back to us.

Do you have an ideas or headconnons about what the Barrow family was up to while Mare was kidnapped by Maven? How it took a mental tool on the family? I just keep replaying the part where Mare’s mom call her sweetheart and put her to bed

Gisa sewed gifts for her everyday, and Papa Barrow's leg burned worse than it did before. They would always set out an empty chair, which Bree and Tramy would fight Ruth over while Gisa and Daniel stayed silent. Ruth held out all hope that she would come back. Tramy would grieve her, certain she would die in the palace. Bree would curse her for surrendering as he held back his tears. Daniel stayed silent through it all, speaking only when spoken to. Gisa would stare at the empty bed in her room, pushing pillows beneath the sheets when the pain got bad. Bree and Tramy plotted several attempts to murder Maven, only to be shocked to learn that Gisa had drafted dozens.

Polly Barrow: Our source there tells us a fellow worker is attempting to organize a union rally. A man by the name of Underwood.

Me:

Get ready to have your face removed, idiot.

The way the White Star had to invent a massive lore for Cale just to cope with the fact that somehow this 20-yr-old twink is casually wrecking his ass is honestly so funny lmaoooooooo

I think that's why Cale can trap him with Embrace so easily: the moment Cale revealed the truth, the White Star's ego physically cannot cope lmaoo

Imagine inventing yourself an archnemesis, only to find out that no, you are just a delusional bastard with a fragile ego, and that for close to 6 months, said "archnemesis" even tried to dissuade you a couple of times because you are that pathetic to him.

The White Star: *spends hundreds and hundreds of years trying and working hard to collect five ancient powers of all elements*

Cale: *collects ten over the course of approximately three years, five of which without even trying*

The White Star:

White Star: What makes you think your life is worth more than mines?

Cale: What makes you think your life is worth anything at all?

Conrad, in the presence of their father: When we get to talking, Benuel, about Polly, what do you always say? "She is the..." and it starts with a "B." Benuel: Trash. Conrad: No, not trash. Were you waiting to call her that? It doesn't start with a "B". Benuel: Brat. Conrad, lying through his teeth: No, "best." I was thinking about "best."

Cale: You ripped my shirt!

White Star: And you broke my nose. Twice! It healed, and then you broke it again! Two times!...

Cale: *punches him again* Three times!

OOhhhhhh....

I think I just realized why The Birth of a Hero has so many plot holes.

The guy literally could not mention the main antagonist.

Any time that came up, it had to be described as ambiguously as possible.

Because balance has rules for that kind of thing.

So, the censorship was the only way to get that guidebook to the would-be transmigrator without the God of Balance setting them all on fire. Like probability clauses in Star Stream censoring spoilers in ORV.

Does this sound plausible? It explains why they're never directly mentioned, and why there would be so many misleading lines and plot holes. Because if he had to avoid revealing too much, that would mean rewriting a lot of the truth into a somewhat unreliable narrative.

Was this mentioned in the later chapters yet? I haven't read those.

Everyone’s reaction when they thought Thomas was leaving:

To them at Downton, Thomas is really a son, a brother, and a father.
