You guys don't understand how abnormal this new breed is going to make me. Like even putting aside that they're fat little grubs, which means everything to me for biased reasons (I am an entomologist), this fits my headcanons for Arcane v. Light dynamics so. So hard. I'd always interpreted Arcane and Light as not particularly getting along because their search for knowledge takes them in opposite directions, with Light looking to the past/history and Arcane looking to the future/beyond.

And now. Now the ancients for both reflect that. Arcane's ancient is Aethers, moths that were sent into space to search the cosmos. And now Light's ancients are Everlux, caterpillars still cocooned in old books.

I'm sooo. Normal. I'm so unbelievably normal. I need to make an Aether + Everlux duo that hate each other sooo bad.

Here's what I think about Revali's SOS signal:

Now, most people say, "Oh, Revali, he was so full of himself that he didn't want to send an SOS and he got himself killed because he was too proud to call for help."

That's not how I see it. I love Revali, but let's be honest: he's a preening peacock at best and a narcissistic bully at worst (honestly, he's somewhere in between the two). But he IS as good as he says.

So I think that, by the time he sent his SOS, it was an act of desperation. Not a desperation born out of realizing that he, himself, was about to die, but a desperate hope born out of realizing that they had been utterly defeated.

Like I said, Revali is as good as he claims to be. And he knows it (hence his superiority complex). So if he knew he was about to be defeated, then he KNEW there was no one left to save him.

So I think he waited until the last second because he knew it was pointless. Not so much pride as realism. "If I'm dead, then we're all dead." My guess is that he turned on the signal as a last-ditch effort, some survival instinct kicking in and hoping beyond hope, for the first time ever, that he was wrong, that maybe someone else had survived.
