Optimisticly, I can't wait for Occtis to officially be accepted as a follower of the Old Path so that we can have gifset comparisons of this moment where shadia is like "I don't know why I thought he was a member of the Old Path, he's not a member of the old path" because even if he's not a druid I will not forget that Occtis's soul was trying to walk the path without being guided and without remembering himself. Occtis's soul didn't try to quake like Thaisha eventually says all souls do, he was walking the path and was ushered OFF
He was Literally Following The Old Path Without A Single Thought, and his entire stated reason for holding onto his family's legacy and name is that They Were Supposed To Help The Dead Move On and Doing That Is What Makes Tachonis Spedial. He's not a druid but he's Old Path to his CORE and I think that's what Thaisha saw in him on that trip to Venatus that endeared her so much to him despite his penchant for necromancy. I still need him to fully cast off his attachment to that being in reclaimation of his family's name though and full send into "innovation for the sake of the Old Path from a necromancer's perspective is proving to be necessary" territory, and I think Mara might be the right druid to encourage that.
calling ppl "larpers" to insinuate theyre fake fans of smth/poorly pretending to be smth is so fucking stupid cuz. tell me u have never met a real LARPer without saying u have never met a real LARPer. those guys care. they are fucking locked in dude. like LARP is a lifestyle its a commitment they care so much. they're not fake nerds either like fake nerds just repost LOTR gifsets and talk about how nerdy they are for being into like, fucking batman and stuff. LARPers know their shit. they read the whole Silmarillion. they know who Ambush Bug is. like get LARP's name out of your fucking mouth

Ya know Zosia saying the first month of the Joining was very peaceful is interesting considering we are fully aware that The Joining started with a rat biting a woman’s finger (violent and painful) and then multiple counts of nonconsensual kissing. The Joining was never peaceful. It started with physical assault, continued onto sexual assault, and then turned in a mass death event. But the hive doesn’t acknowledge those first counts of violence. They only acknowledge the mass death. Which they say. Was necessary to bring on the best thing to ever happen to the human race so as long as the deaths were mourned it’s fine. The hive is extremely conflict averse but they never seen to acknowledge the actual damage they cause in their quest for peace.
I’ve really been wondering lately how conscious Thjazi is in Julien’s shadow. Because yes it’s his soul, yes he’s done stuff that’s both saved and fucked with Julien, but are these active choices that Thjazi is making? Is the shadow doing things on its own & because it’s Thjazi’s soul they can’t not be things that he would do anyways? Cause it seems like Thjazi now falls into the category of shades, which don’t have awareness of their new state & are instinct-driven to anchor to a new body, so i think i can see both arguments being plausible. But also, afaik, we still don’t really know anything about the Scar or the full extent of its effects on souls (especially ones that manage to escape the Tachonis’ clutches) so i’m wondering if it could have damaged Thjazi’s soul in some way or another in addition to it being separated from his body
I absolutely don't believe he's fully awake and aware and in his right mind. I absolutely do not believe it's like he's just as he was standing right behind Julien like someone standing on the other side of a screen door. I was surprised when fandom started talking about Thjazi like he was making conscious deliberate choices after death. I assume that, to thr extent that his soul is conscious and awarw, he's probably just getting flashes of what's happening in the land of the living - disjointed flashes with no context or explanation. Think of how confused the entire party has been trying to piece together the actions and motivations of one man. Now think about how confusing it would be for one man to piece together the actions and motivations of 13 people but you only see glimpses of what's happening from (unbeknownst to you) the perspective of one of them. Add to that, I also assume extended existence as a shade has some effect on his mental state. Brennan told Occtis that if he didn't make a point to rest and meditate, his mind would start to change. I look back at the actions of Julien's shadoe and see a being ruled by id and impulse. It's Thjazi, but a Thjazi not fully in control of his higher mental functions. Maybe I'm wrong; we'll see as episodes resume. But I agree; I don't think he's fully conscious and aware.
YES YES YES THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I MEANNNNNNNN Like anything is better than beholden to House Tachonis but also like??? We absolutely are not gonna be able to just break the curse and have Thjazi back to normal, i totally agree with you that I doubt brennan’s gonna let that happen
I wanna agree and disagree with this because on the one had I do also very much believe Thjazi isn't entirely himself and that he's not omnipresent and able to see and understand everything everyone is saying, but I don't think this is necessarily because something arcane or injurious happened to him or his soul, I think it's that he only exists and is conscious to be able to hear anything when Julien has a singular distinct shadow.
I think this would be an incredible parallel to Bolaire and the desperation and confusion that comes with not being in control of whether you exist or not. When they are in places with thinner veils where Thjazi's soul itself can create a shadow to occupy, he's more tempered, he is in control of his "body" but in situations like going into the Eternal Night, Thjazi would've suddenly found himself in the dark surrounded by shades again, like on the night of the Davinos Massacre.
Thjazi was there in Julien's shadow by then and he didn't act even with the circle of death stuff thinning the veil, likely because he was in shock and then Julien was doing exactly what Thjazi would've done. Done his best to kill Primus and then IMMEDIATELY find Aranessa and make sure she's safe. Thjazi would die for Aranessa and to make sure this ritual that Primus was attempting didn't work, so he's fucked up but the lack of control isn't so awful, but then he's thrown into the middle of it in the Eternal Night night when Julien lights that torch and Thjazi panics. WHERE is Aranessa? FIND her. Imagine suddenly waking up in your worst nightmare and your wife's favourite cousin is SWARMED by undead, what do you do? Yoink that fucker by the first part of him you can reach and RUN.
In the manor, the torchlight and gloom gave Thjazi a lot of freedom. He could ask Julien if he wanted to go save Teor and put Julien's dad to rest, and he can respect that it's Julien's decision because it's Julien's life and Julien's dad. Then Hannan got rid of the gloom, and the only light to cast Thjazi's shadow body was the lightning that Thjazi has to act on NOW or NEVER, and it's THIMBLE and then Thimble's best friend stops him and the next lightning strike, Thjazi doesn't try it again.
Then in Hal's, they suddenly throw a spotlight on Julien and they say nothing, then Bolaire goes in with the one thing they have in hand that can really fuck up his shadow and he panics and nearly hurts someone the same way and for the same reasons as Bolaire, and nearly hurts someone close to Hal and the Theatre like Thjazi was so threatening to Bolaire about, and he doesn't try to force Julien's body anywhere to show Hal he's there because he's fucked up and in the most disorienting of positions and maybe only realized what exactly was happening by reading that letter in Koral's room, but he could tell that time he moved Julien's body, and he doesn't want to do that even to comfort his brother.
Tldr, I think he's technically all there, but that he's just in such a fucked up state of limbo that he's acting erratically the second he has a chance because that's all he can do.

shakily stepping up to the mic . something about last night's episode that really stuck with me is how everyone kinda treats bolaire's trauma [towards thjazi, but also kinda in general] like Nothing. and i don't mean stuck with me in a good way . in earlier episodes there was the idea that bolaire was always lying [not that i subscribed to this idea] but thimble basically confirmed that thjazi treated him like shit to at least some degree last night.
#just the little hint we got with Bolaire and Thimble's exchange was already so !!! #not just from what it implies about the situation between Bolaire and Thjazi and Thimble #not just from how unfair it is that Bolaire 'has' to shrug off his bitterness toward Thjazi in current company #but from how Thimble's reaction was such a non-reaction. more so than anyone else's #the bulk of the party may like/understand Thjazi #but Thimble has rose-colored glasses fully grafted to her face #Thjazi Can Do No Wrong #Thjazi is Her Best Friend #and even if he maybe did some shady stuff so what? he's Thjazi #Vaelus needed a week and a half's worth of exposure to the real world and her companions to undo CENTURIES of misplaced fealty to Sylandri #Thimble is a years-long Thaz BFF and currently riding the high of the play ritual's aftermath and 'See see see! Thaz was good all along!' #and cannot/will not see that the man still had thorns jabbing into other people #even if those thorns never pricked her #Bolaire NEEDS to air the dirty laundry during the next arc #no more hints no more biting his tongue because of his audience #ideally I'd like to see him spilling everything to Julien; the only anti-Thjazi sympathetic ear #while the Thjazi Soul Shadow has to listen #and Thimble eavesdrops out of sight #how much of what Bolaire has to say will she already know? already excuse? #how much will be news to her? (tags by see-arcane)
The [OG] Schemers, Soldiers, and Seekers, but drawn as pokemon 🕺
A sorta sequel to these CR x Pokemon drawings of mine I drew back in 2022, but with the campaign 4 characters :]
I also made a version where all of them are all together, and also versions where they're by themself. That way, I can talk about why I chose those specific pokemon for each of them. Sort of. Some of them have stronger reasons than others ngl.
Halandil the Unfezant - I did struggle a bit with picking which pokemon he should be, but after making a quick poll to see what others thought, I felt a bit reassured that Unfezant won as that was my original pick for him. As for my reason to pick said pokemon? Yeah, I don't have a strong reason for it. Just that it gave me sorta the same vibe as Hal.
Azune the Lucario - A pokemon that both uses physical and special attack moves, I thought out of all the "soldier-like" pokemon out there, Lucario was my fave pick for him.
Murray the shiny Aromatisse - First of all, I fucking love Aromatisse <3 And I thought a short, glamorous pokemon with fabulous hair and pretty good special attack stats would fit her well :]
Bolaire the shiny Aegislash - Even though I had a few pokemon that could potentially fit him, I couldn't stop thinking about him as an Aegislash (or a Honedge / Doublade) due to it's pokedex entries. Stating how it has potent spectral powers that allows it to manipulate others. Also, believe it or not, but Aegislash (Blade Forme) is pretty strong with both physical and special attacks.
Occtis the shiny Hisuian Zoroark - Yet again, had a few different pokemon on his list (mostly ghost types) but eventually settled on Hisuian Zoroark due to 1. Him using Disguise Self quite a bit, and 2. being basically a "dead" version of a Zoroark, which the Tachonis family could be.
Vaelus the Mienshao - Not gonna lie, for a while, I was going to draw her as a Ceruledge. However, after reading Mienshao's pokedex entry, which states how it uses the long fur on it's arms as whips, I knew I had to pick that instead. I was going to add her censer as well, which would be hanging from her tail by a chain, but I decided against it in the end.
Thaisha the Sceptile - Honestly, if I didn't make this rule for myself where I don't do repeat of pokemon I've already drawn someone else as, I would've drawn her as a Serperior (who I had already drawn Fearne as). But, not gonna lie, I do like how Thaisha ended up looking like as a Sceptile :] A strong grass type pokemon that can sometimes- without a mega stone, as that and legendary pokemon are gone in this world- mega evolve.
Julien the shiny Blaziken - Another character that was hard to pick a pokemon for. And honestly, I don't have a strong reason why I ended up picking Blaziken in the end. Sorry Julien orz
Tyranny the Houndoom - Although I was tempted to draw her as a Gogoat or a Dubwool, I ended up picking Houndoom instead. Mostly 'cause the pokemon feels like a sort of hellhound. Also, daily reminder that Houndoom doesn't have any ears :) You're welcome.
Kattigan the shiny Vigoroth - Originally, I was going to draw him as a Mightyena, but then ended up choosing Vigoroth 'cause 1. Just it's overall vibe, and 2. How it's pokedex entries states that they get stressed out if they don't move constantly.
Thimble the Ribombee - Sort of an obvious pick for her as, well, Ribombee just looks like a more bug-like version of her. Not much else to say here.
Teor the Incineroar - Although Incineroar is more of a cat / tiger while Pyroar is the lion pokemon, I thought Incineroar fit him more. Mostly due to it's build ngl. As a side note: He was the hardest one to draw out of all of these o(-( Like holy shit.
Wicander the Altaria - I went back and forth a bit about whether to pick Altaria or shiny Latios for him. But eventually, I settled for Altaria as his light wing aasimar moments could instead be him mega evolving (without a mega stone since, as I stated earlier with Thaisha, this world doesn't have mega stones).
Daydreaming a story idea about someone adopted as a young child who comes of age to realize they have been raised, and loved, by the villains. And they're the survivor of a massacre their adoptive parents committed.
canon is what happens in the text. e.g. merlin tries to poison morgana
a headcanon is a fact that you have personally made up as an elaboration of canon. it is your invention. e.g. i think morgana and gwen had a teenage lesbian situationship before the events of canon. or, i think modern morgana would love evanesence.
an interpretation is how one reads the existing text. it is not an invented fact nor is it a headcanon, it is a reading. e.g. i think merlin tries to poison morgana out of misplaced self-hatred. or, i think that one line was delivered with suppressed malice and shows a nuanced relationship.
fanon is the general fandom’s accepted headcanons and interpretations that elaborate or recontextualize canon. e.g. merlin is a badass waif and morgana is a bitch.
these are all different words with different meanings.
