The many mistakes of Kain and Raziel

@taonpest @lancrewizzard

the cursed blade compels you to grind against it between your legs

the best thing you can do to a character make them averse to touch and absolutely starved for it

we need to talk more about the fandom experience of "I actually do like the idea of these two characters together and think it would have been an interesting direction for the show to have gone in, but unfortunately everyone who openly ships them is so exhaustingly unpleasant about it that it's barely even enjoyable to engage with the fandom at large anymore so the ship itself is now ruined for me"

Evil wizard tasteful pin-up magazine but it's all photos of like, skinny old goths coyly fingering cursed amulets, long-bearded sorcerers doing the 'oopsie' pose as their corrosive destruction spell destroys enough of their own robes to show some skin, naked desiccated lich king positioning his staff of human skulls just so it leaves something to the imagination, dark knights in full armor just holding their soul-eating blades out in front of their codpieces, orc chieftain who did not understand the assignment and is posing with a monster he killed like one of those guys-with-fish photos. Or maybe he DID understand the assignment. Hmm.

Actually, I'm not done talking about King William in the 80's games. SR2 '83 explicitly used the title William the Rose instead of William the Just. In the original Blood Omen text adventure I specifically remember Kain calling King William the rose of his kingdom, an innocent flower whose thorns of ambition were sharpened by Moebius to eventually become the Nemesis. Then in Blood Omen 1996, they just threw all of the rose imagery out and just went with spikes on everything. I think it's a real pity. Side note, can anyone remember if the text adventure Blood Omen called him William the Just or William the Rose? @dongtopus and @fullmoondagger I know you guys played the original Soul Reavers, but the original BO is so obscure I'd almost think I hallucinated it if we didn't still have the original floppy disc with it on so idk if you guys played it too.
