Can u talk more about ur opinion/how u see angels pls

yeah sure! so to me the word "angel" is a classification of living being, much like fungi, plants and animals are all seperate categories by which living things are grouped. angels are actually closer in nature to machines than humans or other animals. they're essentially tools, designed to carry out the wishes of their creator with devotion, and created to serve a purpose. they don't inherently possess free will, because this would strip them of their purpose, which is why angels who develop free will 'fall' - they can't existentially be angels anymore. angelic forms are metaphysical, and more symbolic than literal.

i think that killing a dragon should have catastrophic nuclear-fallout level environmental consequences tbh. their blood should scorch and wither the earth with fire and poison, the toxic fumes released as they decay should choke the land and all nearby living creatures, and the entire landscape where they fell should be transformed into a blighted wasteland where bleached leviathan bones loom upwards out of the ground as a warning that can be seen from miles away, the boundary markers of an exclusion zone.

media with healing magic really ought to get more in the weeds about it tbh

get kinda Icky and Medical about it, how does the healer stitch flesh and blood vessels and nerve endings back together, does it hurt when those nerves reconnect? is it euphoric? is it a little bit of both?

if the healer can manipulate the living body like that, what stops them doing it in reverse? can a sufficiently skilled healer yank the nerves out through a victim's pores?

if 'necromancy' exists as a concept in the setting: how is that any different? should it be? is schlorping a severed limb back onto its owner's body _really_ meaningfully different from resurrecting the whole body as some kind of undead creature?

can healing magic be used to do ~weird shit~ with the endocrine system of a person? could a healer just juice someone with a shitload of estrogen, for fun or pleasure?

Beware the wandering storm-cloud which hangs lonesome over the glassy sea, that which moves without wind, and drops not rain nor lightning, but a mass of dreadful arms like snapped mooring lines upon the heads of hapless sailors…

ah i found it! i saw someone post this before, but couldn’t remember where. good thing the terror twitter account doesn’t post much so i didnt have to scroll too far down.

pictured are the traits that the writers tried to flesh out for each of their characters. IF YOUR WRITERS’ ROOM ISNT AS HARDWORKING AND OBSESSIVE AS THE TERROR WRITERS THEN WHAT ARE WE HERE FOR REALLY???

these would also be useful in RPing: intelligence of humor, tenor of humor, critical thinking, openness to experience, sociability with others, communication style, default moral code, spiritual identification, positioning of social interactions, positioning of self in self-identity, emotional maturity, work ethic, work style, relationship to authority, relationship to zeitgeist, response to stress, response to fear, speed of responses, level of impulsivity control, moment step from high adv. to horror 

you’ll notice that that last trait, “moment that they step from high adventure to horror”, is something that kajganich specifically mentions in an interview: “We were interested to know, in the writers’ room, at what moment each character stepped from a high adventure story into a horror story, and that’s obviously different for every character.”
