Talion's heart squeezing each time you insist on giving him an extra cloak, or making him sit closer to the campfire, or giving him warm food rations.

He just cant bring himself to tell you he is... well, dead, technically.

Talion's heart squeezing each time you insist on giving him an extra cloak, or making him sit closer to the campfire, or giving him warm food rations.

He just cant bring himself to tell you he is... well, dead, technically.

On the "normal" side:

We know for certain that he breathes, from his famous "As long as there is breath in my body, my fate is my own!" quote, from frost breath animations in Seregost, and from death animations where he's strangled by an Uruk's chains.

He has a heartbeat and circulating blood, as indicated by arterial sprays in death animations.

On the "undead" side:

It's likely that he doesn't eat or excrete: the use of herbs in Shadow of Mordor was completely discontinued in Shadow of War, and though we do see Uruks urinating, of course that never applies to Talion.

His skintone in Shadow of Mordor is subtly greyish, compared to the tanned "Captain of the Black Gate" skin which was used in the prologue when of course he was still alive.

As for whether he's warm or room temperature, I can't think of a single hint either way anywhere in either game.

And I don't think there are many fanfics that include the room temperature idea either.

In raptors (eagles, falcons, hawks, owls) females are roughly 1/3 larger than males. This is why male falcons are called tercels or tiercels, from Latin tertia pars, one third.

a fact most people don't know about you I barely talk about myself ere anymre so i feel like there is a lot of things people here dont know LOL. How about this. Im so fucking short. Im about 150cm wich is 4'9 i think. Actually, last time i had my height measured, the doctor told me 149 cm, but i BEGGED to be measured again cuz... come on. The doctor barely saw and just said "yeah 150 cm". I think i was gifted that one centimeter.

random fact (about anything you want) Did you know... that at some point sauron was conceptualized as a cat? Tavildo, prince of cats? Now you do. Kitty cat sauron almost happened.

favorite book I honestly dont read much sadly, i wish i could say ive read the Lotr trilogy and such. But i havent. But i did read this one book, "Disaster artist", wich is about the making of one of the worst movies ever made, "The room" by Tommy Wiseau. Its one of those movies thats so bad its good. And the book was so interesting and fun to read!

favorite movie LMAO again i wish i coud say the Lotr trilogy (wich i have seen!) but in reality ive always been a fan of lighter media, specially kid media. So, one of my favorite movies is Coraline. And as silly as it is to say, sometimes i like putting the first spongebob movie as sound background while i work.

favorite TV show Its been a while since ive seen cartoons on the TV, I did love Steven universe, And in my youth i loved watching xiaolin showdown and tom and jerry (might be showing off my age here haha)

favorite character I will speak about Lotr related characters only, and of course i will start with those from the shadow of mordor/war games. Talion is number one. I love him. I also adore celebrimbor, even if he broke my heart. I have to say it. I do really like Annatar/Sauron (If he breaks my heart at least i will see it coming). Finally i gotta mention my fave uruk, wich is ratbag :3 Oh and from the movies, its Sam! And the witch king!
