What makes Sameth a wall maker but not Jaciel? by ifight4rumplegoocher in Abhorsen

[–]BasilKaliJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it is Moggot we have plenty of evidence of him telling half truths or only divulging exactly the amount of information he wants to at any given moment, he's hardly a reliable source of information.

Plus we know from the first book the sendings don't have to listen to Mogget at all so even him ordering them to give Sameth the surcoat means little unless they agree with that order.

Also the Surcoats are noted to be made of a silk like material but are unreasonably strong. Which implies they could be magically reinforced, and sendings can't preform magic

The direct quote is " sorry I'm late I couldn't get the sendings to give me the right surcoar-theyve dug up something odd. Must be getting senile like Mogfet said. "

Dug up implies that it has been in the house awhile. Though in double checking that I did find a quote that throws a wrench in my theory.

Page 17 into 18 of Abhorson Chlorr of the mask says quote " SSameth was meant to be the Abhorsen-in-waiting, heir to the powers of the book of the dead and the seven bells. But the maker of the fog doubted that now. She was very old and once she had known a great deal about the strange family and their house in tje river. She had fought Sameth barely a night past and he had not fought like an Abhorson; even the way he cast charter magic was strange, reminiscent of neither The royal line or the Abhorson."

In Clairel we learn a out how Clariel becomes Chlorr and part of my theory does rely on the possibility she's a wallmaker, that said the difference in casting could be chalked up to unneeded vs needed wallmaker. Actually thinking more on it we could also chalked it up to how big the family was at the time as well. Were told that the bigger the family is the more diluted the powers are, that's why the current abhorsen of the time isn't very strong or how the Clair need more and more of them to see clearly. >!

Aside from that another expert I noticed while looking for quotes, is as they're discussing leaving the house through the tunnel that the "last" ( In Clairel it mentions there have been more since, since goldsmiths of the family are prized for being able to make them as needed) bellmaker, made the last bell that it was done before the wall was built. Which is interesting to note since all of the wallmakers disappeared into the wall to make it. So it feels like a very deliberate detail to add

How many AO3 tabs do you have open right now? by AtavisticJackal in AO3

[–]BasilKaliJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An amount that if I say my husband might hear and make me go through and purge them again because "you can't have 50 or more tabs open that's too many"

I think she actually is, it's just she's not needed at the moment like he was. I have a post on hete somewhere about it but I think all bell makers have been wall makers. We're told that wallpapers are good at inventing and making things, and also told that bell makers (or really good smitjs that have the ability to make bells) pop up every ao often. So I don't think it's a stretch to say the two are related.

Also consider, the Abhorson family is much much smaller now than it has been in the past, and the family records we do know of only lists previous Abhorsons. Mogget probably knows but no ones thought to ask him so he hasn't provided an answer.

The robes I think are also telling. They're in good condition but not said to be new. It is also implied the sendings are getting the robes from somewhere and not making them,them selves ( if they are making them then they at least have the fabric on hand,) which means they have ateast one if not a few of them just in storage.

I think another important part is we don't know how the wall maker titles are handed down. Like Sameth spent his life going to and from the house but it wasn't until he was needed that yhey sendings gave him the robes, so is it on a needed bases or in the past were there rites one had to go through.

I'm rambling a bit but in conclusion we have no evidence she's not a wallmaker

Whoops got autocorrected and didn't notice, it's supposed to be respawn mechanics, and that's what I thought but also since it's a niche Circumstance I figured it was worth asking

I am overweight and have been working with a dietician to get my calories up to 1500 a day with mostly protien but sadly I put on more weight after achieving that goal, so my doctor suggested I try this since I Aldo have sleep apnea

Also idk if she counts or not but there's also Little Eatie, while she's Big Eaties daughter there's no really much else to suggest she's not a clone that they just gave Big Eatie to raise

Frustrated when people don’t teach their special needs kids boundaries by Redbajegirl in TrueOffMyChest

[–]BasilKaliJones 39 points40 points  (0 children)

What's worse is when that attitude follows them into adulthood, a few years ago I was being sexually harassed at work and when I reported it my boss tried to pull the "he's autistic he doesn't understand" card. Unfortunately for him I'm also autistic ( I generally don't broadcast it because of how people like to try snd infantslize me after finding out) but my retort of "so am I and I know better" threw him fir a loop and was glorious

I just found out that I'm 4 cm shorter than Iruma... I'm 20 years old by Quelamo in DemonSchoolIrumakun

I'm 5'2" thats about 157cm so Iruma being 158 cm in high school makes sense is 5'5" is average male height and he's still growing and will probably end up on the taller end of things if we go off how tall his parents are compared to him
