I united with my husband an we came here to hurt everyone. This is an art for his very angsty but beautiful fic. Basically it's Percy's death but make it Perc'ildan for it to hurt even MORE. Also Cassandra is there. Read it, don't be scared of cyrillic.

hey sorry um. bad news, we put your boyfriend in a blood pool. yeah like a communion pool but instead of water it was full of blood. he's really into the absolutist belief of a divinely appointed fate now. sorry.

very happy with the vax situation because it is a ‘reward’ that doesn’t undo (in fact it reinforces) the tragedy and is clear evidence of the very real care that the matron holds for vax and the mortal man he was that was desperate to save his sister and found purpose in the consequence. but what i really can’t stop thinking about is the fact that when the vision of the matron stood over vox machina in 1x115 and beckoned vax to her side, scanlan’s reaction was “now? we don’t even get a night together or anything?” and now 30 years later the matron tells vax “the night is yours.”

for the record i think what happens to vax'ildan tonight is whatever liam feels is correct for his character whose story became about the heavy meta knowledge of his journey of grief in c1, and how he feels about that journey of grief now, and any decision made would have weight in liams feelings on his mothers loss

[fairymonk]

we really do need the comedy robbie daymond brings as cerkonos, or this would be the most depressing trip to save vax

[gilmores-glorious-blog]

no because i keep thinking about all the foreshadowing to kash’s death… rewatching these episodes is gonna make me sick.

The setup for Glintshore is *chef's kiss*. I see the vision, they absolutely cooked here.

i have become unreasonably fixated on the raven queen potentially being a champion of the god of death a Very Long Time Ago, so utterly devoted to them that she was willing to help them die, and the hypothetical future of that particular domain becoming a title of succession should the primary exandrian pantheon bite the dust

[dracoroma]

I want to get ahead of some members if the community because I know it will have stired up some things

They made death more important in Legend of Vox Machina than it is in d&d

Vax being punished for reviving percy in the animated show makes sense. It's not the raven queen being cruel and a tyrant. The sanctity of death is important. If she lets her champion revive people willy nilly, the rules around death start to break down

Death is important. Things need to die and fall away. In the realm of divine law, Vax got a DUI

Also, It's an elegant way to tie in the revenant of it all in later seasons, since they're making death more impactful.

Tbh it is kind of funny that the “other woman” in Vax and Keyleth’s relationship (as of season 3) is the goddess of death

The saddest part of the tomb scene is that while we know Vex will be okay, it's the beginning of the end for Vax. While she gets to come back it's at a cost, there is a consequence to this mistake and knowing it ends with the twins being permanently separated, it's heartbreaking.

[shorthaltsjester]

man. you know what i fucking think about all the time? vex and vax and the deities that they become champions to. how even those gods reflect the entanglement that is their life, how vax steps in front of a goddess on his stalwart hope in the world and demands she choose him and how vex is so tentative, barely speaks up because she’s fighting against every instinct she’s learned that tells her not to hope that she could be worthy enough, certainly not to a god.

and the gods that choose them, the gods they choose? they’re both reflections of one another to each other. vax, whose championship arose out of his commitment to never leave his sister’s side? his god is the matron of ravens, a sad woman who dons a mask. a mortal who fought tooth and nail to arrive at the power she has. vex, whose championship arrives after her brother’s hope in the future and her future specifically has rubbed off on her and encouraged her own growth to believing? she is greeted with pelor, who stands strong and painfully bright, but she’s granted the gift to see through it to warm eyes and a bright smile. who affirms the hope that lives in her.

and man, it’s even more extraordinary to me that the comparison between the given twin’s god and their sibling gets made by that sibling in scenes where they directly speak to the gods their twin has chosen. during vax’s resurrection ritual, vex bargains with the raven queen because she knows she’s someone who bargains like vex herself does, and she’s someone that values vax, maybe not quite as much as she does, but enough. and during vex’s trial, as the dawn father searches for his hope among the love for vex among vox machina, vax’s affirmation is that vex is his hope, so she should certainly be sufficient to be pelor’s.

and god the black death walker’s ward and the white dragon armour? vax’s wings and vex’s blessing? vax as a shroud of darkness visiting this plane, embracing the literally glowing shape of his sister on her wedding day? the poetry of vex and vax and pelor and the matron of ravens is enormous and so much of it is fucking. improv.
