O Berro da Caverna

Dunwall landscape

The fact that ANYONE thinks Jane Eyre is some cheesy old timey novel and not a book that is both METAL and HILARIOUS should be considered a crime. During her childhood Jane is constantly told she’s the woOOOrst (mostly because she’s inquisitive and quite plain). In fact a priest-type dude comes into her house being like “do you know what happens to terrible little girls?” and she says “yeah they go to hell” “so what must you do so you don’t end up there?” and her reply? “I guess I should just not die BITCH”. Jane is 10 when she says this… her power. Then when her aunt scolds her one too many times girl spits out a Shakespeare level monologue/roast about how her aunt is awful™ and is going to be haunted by Jane’s father for being such a royal bitch and her aunt is so freaked out that she literally starts being nice to her for the first time (honestly I think she was legit scared she had accidentaly adopted the Devil and did not want to mess with that shit). Oh you thought it was a soft nice little romance afterwards? Jane meets Rochester🤡 who is fifty shades of batshit. He literally spends chunks of the book fucking with his rich acquaintances just cause and sideeyeing Jane like “Did you see that?? Jane did you notice that? What do you think Jane?? Tell me your thoughts Jane, WASN’T THAT FUNNY???” And the best part is she reacts to every one of his antics with perfect composure so much so that HE freaks out and ends up dressing as a fortune teller to get her to tell him what she actually thinks. This young girl who was told to shut the fuck up at every turn is suddely called again and again to give her opinion and boy does she give it. She calls him ugly TO HIS FACE and he immediately falls in love. She in turn falls for him so hard but is so sure he couldn’t possibly like her that she DRAWS A PORTRAIT OF HERSELF AND THEN A PORTRAIT OF A “BEAUTIFUL” WOMAN AS A VERY PRACTICAL WAY TO REMIND HERSELF THAT SHE’S NOT PRETTY. Gurl 😭 that’s so sad and also way too overdramatic, you guys deserve each other. Meanwhile the house is very obviously haunted but Jane hasn’t noticed which is peak comedy for such a usually observant protagonist. I mean, a man has a chunk of his flesh bitten off and when Rochester says everything’s fine she just accepts it. “Oh but Jane gives it all up for a man see??? She has no agency” When she thinks he’s going to marry another woman but still intends to keep her as a governess she has my favourite dialogue in the entire book where she says: “Just because I am poor and plain it doesn’t mean I’m not still a PERSON WITH FEELINGS. IF I WAS HOT AND RICH I COULD HAVE MADE YOU AS PAINFULLY IN LOVE WITH ME AS I AM WITH YOU. I DO NOT ADRESS YOU FROM THIS MORTAL FLESH BUT IT IS MY SPIRIT ADRESSING YOURS AS THOUGH WE DIED AND STOOD AS EQUALS AT GODS FEET, AS WE ARE”. She’s 18 in this part of the book… HER POWER. She later finds out ON HER WEDDING DAY to Rochester that he is already married to a woman he has locked up in the attic because she’ll attack anything that moves (I mean she very obviously has a mental illness which has caused her to be violent but back at that time there weren’t many or even any humane options for treatment so unpopular opinion but the fact that he kept her in his house and with a maid to take care of her was probably the best he could provide her with in this situation tbh) Jane runs away and wanders the moors all alone because she knows what happened wasn’t right (and this is her rational reaction, i love her and also probably same) and while half dead she finds some people who turn out to be her COUSINS (GASP), she gets a job, inherits a fortune and gets another marriage proposal like a #girlboss. But then she has a “That’s so Raven” vision telling her Rochester is in trouble. Turns out his house burned down and he’s now scarred and blind and his wife is dead. Accurate recreation of their reunion;

Daud Cosplay Walk-Through

No one:

very interesting👀 how would they even quantify beauty for consumption?? does magic taste different in fae from different courts?? what would prythian’s native high fae truly look like- would they be more like the inhuman/uncanny valley fae from irl or just straight monstrous?? why would the daglan make them essentially Human+ and was that intentional??

I love the direction your going with questions. We gotta be more evil with the world building.

sooo beauty as a survival mechanism is what I’m hearing lol- like birds developing bright plumage to confuse a predator but also attract a mate- pretty high fae live longer and have a higher chance of breeding passing on the “pretty” gene

Oooh that would be so painful- imagine some of the oldest fae, the few who survived the invasion, a wolf amongst dogs, watching with each generation of these new, weaker fae draw even further from what they were; becoming the same or worse than their original oppressors, possibly beginning to fade away when the wall goes up.

the prison being the last of prythian’s native fae and the remains of the dusk court would be soo tragic- the inhabitants being the last living beings to remember a time when the world wasn’t the stagnant wound they see it as now confined in cells to relive their torture for all eternity
