one of the things i find absolutely fascinating about azune is that he's shared more critical information about his true self to people he doesn't have the longest history or the closest relationship. to be fair he was prompted first by both vaelus and bolaire, but i think it's a deep foundational characteristic of his. and the responsibility about the lack of information his closest dynamics have falls on both sides.
the more he respects or admires or loves a person, the more i think he falls in the mistake of trying to present himself as who he thinks they'd like him to see. for thjazi he was the useful asset, for members of the torn banner he wants them to see a grown reliable soldier after all these years. he was very focused on protecting hal now that thjazi isn't there to keep him out of this anymore, and luis has mentioned on multiple accounts that he tries to keep a lot of the person he was for thjazi hidden. he keeps bringing up to murray, who has very strong morals and convictions, that this, who he's pretending to be, isn't him.
comparing it to vaelus, who they had a very important scene together but don't really know each other. he shared that this was the language of his people. or bolaire, who at best they knew each other in passing prior to the schemers arc. he gets his questioning about people and things. his more philosophical questions in general. he gets the correct pronunciation of his name. the less he feels like there are expectations, in a way, of him the more he expresses himself more easily.
his way of attempting to gain julien's trust i think is very telling on his attempt to maintain trust with everyone. 'i will tell the story you chose to tell.' he rarely corrects or contradicts people. he's suppressed his individuality for a myriad of reasons. he is to be useful always, what people need of him. and it shows why his relationships are either so fractured or distant. he does have a hand in creating that distance without realising it.
#all of this really tracks #it's like a different version of wearing a mask #not the kind he uses to put on a performance for others as needed#but the intent of something like a masquerade or grand carnival#'A man in a mask will show who he really is'#the fact that there ISN'T as much history and desperation in the relationships he makes one-off with people he barely knows#but can still call allies is the very thing that makes them feel 'safer' in his mind; there's a sort of anonymity to the dynamic#which helps him actually divulge bits of his muzzled real self to them in a way he's spent YEARS avoiding with his closest* friends#which is itself an incredibly cruel irony--he's mentally programmed to constantly be in performance mode with EVERYONE he knows#friends and family and allies and villains#the only times we've seen him crack and show 'real' Azune was in his meltdowns with Hal and Murray; when the pressure point was reached#after what we can assume comes at the tail end of over a decade's worth of keeping himself nailed down and locked in for the Cause#and both times. both times. there's a gentle but impossible to ignore slapping of his hands away from such outbursts#Azune confesses that his part of the plan was a suicide end? Hal smiles. Pats his shoulder. 'We don't get to choose. Do better tomorrow.'#Azune breaks down over hating the roles he's playing and his fear that he'll fuck everything up without full evidence for Einfasen?#Murray sells him an ice cream party (if you don't die about it! you're So Good at this! Do Not Look at My Pet Student) and some BS poetry#about his pretty innocent sunset eyes don't worry about it you're such a good villain's pet buddy (lock in and fuck off)#Hal and Murray being THE people he's closest to in the whole city because (surprise!) Thimble was so glued to Thjazi she never even learned#where Azune fucking lived after a decade in the city#Mara the Wing recognized Occtis and Thaisha but didn't have any clue who Azune was#Flashback Thjazi straight up blanked on the fact that Azune was 16 whole years old in the city when he commented about the 20-year-old who#hanged was 'too young' to have been in the Falconer's Rebellion#Teor didn't even have a last thought to spare for Azune when he fell; Thimble and Kattigan rated. Wic got a boon. JULIEN got a last thought#Thaisha's been the only one we've seen yet who 1) Exists in Azune's friend/family zone and 2) Results in Azune actually relaxing with#he melts into her in a way that he hasn't done with anybody else#bar Vaelus who he shares connection and a miracle with (known for a day)#bar Bolaire (a fellow useful thing whose testimony about Thjazi knocked over the first mental domino about his relationship with him)#Azune loves hard and loves deeply and devotedly and the sad reflex of that is him donning a performance#to try and win/earn the regard of the people he desperately cares about for fear of being discarded by them#...only to have that discarding/forgetting/disregarding happen anyway
#it's very much the#oh we don't have to worry about him he's doing alright#kind of forgetting too#like they know he exists and they know that he is with them#but he exists like a role in a play-#to serve a purpose#and to serve it well#before being ushered off stage#it's so fascinating to me#Azune's role has been to defend the city and help rebellion from within#it has been that for YEARS#and he cannot leave#because now he defends the city from itself#and help the rebellion from it by building one#literally Thimble#every time Azune says he would like to go but can't#just says “you're good here”#and I wonder how often that line was said before those times they worked together#when she went off with Thjazi while Azune waits in the city once more#Azune will either die in that city or something drastic will take him out of it#after all the only ways to escape the role as written is either to die in it#becoming something else in death#or to escape the stage entirely#anyways Azune my favorite character how does it feel to resign yourself to being a supporting role in every life around you via @tess-talks-inc
I see we're all taking turns hitting each other in the kneecaps here
can't believe wick's death boon from teor included a fun boost to charisma AND a fun little curse on his rolls so actually he almost joined him immediately bc his dice forgot what double digits are 🫶 just like teor's 🫶

Whilst I cannot fault you for focussing on Luke in a glittery, rhinestone-encrusted, version of his Tattooine outfit, with glam rock platform soles too, I think we need the whole thing for the full impact
It's called "Star Wars Rocks!" by the mighty Hugh Fleming
thinking about kattigan holding teor's corpse after the thjazi-is-julien's-shadow reveal and telling him "i'd spit on you, but i know you're down there raising hell with your brother". and it's just like... god, the implications of this.
i'd willingly curse myself so that you might haunt me forever. so that some version of you might stay by my side. but i know you too well. i know you're already gone.
one (1) popcorn for thimble
Btw i'm putting the known fairy myth that if a fairy becomes strong enough that they can make themselves big and like an archfey into my 'please let lady aranessa be an actual for real fairy it would be so fucking cool' file.
Like. Like for real. Are the Royce Archfey? Is that why their sigil looks like a key, because they're what connects the golden orchard and Araman?
fit check! i was sick of having to look up references for what clothes grace has on the mary/erid so i compiled them as best i could.
some notes: 1) i couldn't find a white long sleeve that looked the same, but it's such a simple thing i didn't feel it was that important. 2) there's a logo on his shorts but i couldn't figure out what it was, i'd guess a nasa one. 3a) i couldn't find the same bucket hat, but there's the logo. 3b) i couldn't find that tie dye shirt to save my life. 4) the jumpsuits are exactly the same except color and i could only find the full ref for white. 5) couldn't find either ilyukhina's dress or his track suit. again, the track suit is easy so no ref needed.
obviously this is just what we can be 100% certain he has, who knows what else yao and ilyukhina had packed. honestly, i would also assume he has everything he had while on the stratt vat and in baikonur since they probably just loaded all his belongings when he was shipped off.

There was no lethal weapon at hand, but I seized a shovel which the workmen had been using to fill the cases, and lifting it high, struck, with the edge downward, at the hateful face.
Simpler times
one of my favorite things about campaign 4 is the un/intentional allegory of dol-makjar, a city of orcs who can see in the dark because of darkvision, getting overtaken by humans who "wield the light" and have absolutely no darkvision. and it got really hammered down in episode 31 when the sons of the dawn and the grey tower guard were surrounded by magpie orcs and the wind snuffed out all the lights.
Welcome to our fair city. I hope that you enjoy your stay.
absolute fucking banger. i'll be forever thankful that brennan made araman and campaign 4 as a love letter to the orcs of lotr, the first and greatest victims of sauron.
Grace explaining sheepishly to Eridian linguists that the reason he uses different pronouns for Rocky than for the rest of the population is that he reflexively defaulted to assigning Rocky the same grammatical and social gender that he himself uses, in a way that has historical precedent but in modern English is considered somewhat chauvinistic and backward, and he's not proud of it but also the habit is pretty deeply ingrained now and unless Rocky objects it's probably easier to just keep on as he has been...
and immediately being informed lol. lmao. do not even worry about it. you have no idea what kind of buck wild grammatical constructs Rocky has invented for you. everyone else addresses you as foreigner/scholar. they're somehow managing to refer to you as their sibling, ward, and semidivine culture hero at the same time every time they talk about you.
Campaign 4 character reveal predictions: Kattigan and Teor will be the campaign bruisers. Twin Cats are coming to break all your bones! And Thimble will loot your corpse and talk shit about you and everyone you love until your memory is straight up obliterated :3
Teor, in practice: Where's my brother? I'm worried I'm going to get stuck in this tree. I'm trying to kill things but it's raining and I hate it. Sinister shit is happening but I'm the muscle, not the face! Hey Kat, you good?
Kattigan, in practice: Brother they keep trying to make me talk to people. I'm on the floor in plow pose. I'm muttering about apples. I forgot to knock on the door, so fuck it, I'm climbing in the living room window. I'm forgetting which way is East. I'm drinking Yargrasz straight out of the bottle. I'm bathing in a nearby stream. I'm speaking three words and immediately rocketing to the top of Fantasy L Ron Hubbard's hit list. What the fuck is that. Who the fuck are you. What the living fuck is going on.
Meanwhile, Thimble: I may be cute as fuck and literally one apple tall but You Are Already Dead, bitch. If you have balls I might cut em off, just cos I can. Solar plexus, Instep, Nose, Groin? More like Femoral artery, Eardrums, Eyeballs, Throat. Yeah that spells FEET. Why? Cos it's funny. Oh hang on, four out of my six closest war buddies are dead? You think I'm gonna cry about it? No time for that, I'm busy growing to twenty-four times my usual size and magically packing on Giant's Muscles. PIXIE SMASH.

It’s finally happened.
After almost a decade on this site, I found another Tumblr user in the wild. I stopped to tie my shoe with rainbow laces this morning outside the silversmith at Colonial Williamsburg, and I heard it.
“I like your shoelaces.”
Oh. Oh no.
I responded the only way I could. “Thanks.” And then I reluctantly added, “I stole them from the president…and if that makes sense to you, I’m very sorry.”
The poor man, in full Colonial dress, stared at me for a long moment. And then burst into laughter. And said, “I haven’t thought about that in YEARS and this has never happened to me before.”
Yeah. Me neither. Not until today.
Tumblr rite of passage. Achievement unlocked.
@victoriansecret I found your friend!!!
