im so fucking mad

In the Hammer of Justice fight when Gerson is listing the Lord of the Hammer Chapters he says for the fourth "A great smith gifts a great and terrible weapon" and this had not made sense to me. The obvious answer here is that this smith is Gerson as he gifts Susie the Justice Axe right after this, but this stuck out as strange to me because he does not seem to be a smith. It of course can be more metaphorical and i am overthinking things that don't actually matter at all, which is very probable. The only smith we know of is Malleus from chapter one. He has the option to fuse the Pure Crystal and Thorn Ring into the Twisted Sword. This of course is not possible to happen within the game, but I think its something veery interesting. Especially if you consider the theory that the Prophecy which Lord of the Hammer is based on is based on the weird route, which the Twisted Sword will seemingly only be obtainable in considering it requires the thorn ring. These are just some of my deeeep hyperfixation thoughts :3

I don’t think I Mantis Post very often on here despite my latent obsession but I swear to god preying mantises are sentient and intelligent and I KNOW someone is gonna tell me that bugs aren’t capable of like sentient intelligent self aware consciousness but I honestly don’t believe you I want you to look into the eyes of a preying mantis and tell me with confidence that animal isn’t thinking. convince me there are not wheels turning up there.

Theo did you just go through my men tag.i love you for this
