Also like, if they were doing some kind of alternate-timeline thing where the USSR lasted a lot longer it would have been nice if they had mentioned it before now

Yeah, this is the thing!

We have been given the impression that history is BASICALLY the same as ours, but with a few outliers- America made a supersoldier; Wakanda exists; Bucky killed a bunch of people; whatever- while still skewing as close as possible to reality. Something like the Cold War not ending when it did should have had a lot of geopolitical ramifications that also manifest in interpersonal issues, especially considering Tony Stark was an arms dealer and Sokovia is an eastern European country.

can't kill the goddess of death!!! that's just science!

it does seem like she should have some kind of advantage here!

barbeauxbot replied to your post “Do you think Hela survived? (Speaking specifically of canon but also...”

It would be interesting, because if there's no Asgard then her powers are significantly decreased.

haha this makes me laugh because when i see people talking about frasier i always briefly think about due south!

...Is Starkhaven the walled city from Attack on Titan??

APPARENTLY?!?

@tarysande replied to your post “so, Knight Errant 4 came out today and I’ve been sort of reading it...”

where are all the fountains and elegance and stuff? because i'm pretty sure that was canon. *filed under: NOT HOW I PICTURE STARKHAVEN AT ALLLLLLLLLL*

ikr?!?

Like, ok. WoT1 is all about the ostentatious; I went and looked it up For Reasons, so now I’ll share, here, the beginning of the tiny blurb, various emphasizes mine:

Starkhaven:

Starkhaven sits on the banks of the mighty Minanter River in a verdant, rolling valley.

The largest city in the Free Marches is also its most grand. Much has been made of Starkhaven’s famed wealth and the obvious ways it is on display. Large sections of the city are decorated in fine materials like marble and gold. Ferdinand Genitivi, who traveled as much of Thedas as anyone, wrote, “Starkhaven’s wealth was truly a sight to behold.”

The wealthiest and richest in Starkhaven are the ruling Vaels. The proud and pious royal family keeps a magnificent marble palace in the heart of Starkhaven amid the city’s numerous kingly estates. Even the path to the palace is paved in granite.
