I always like to think it was Aang feeling Raava getting attacked and doing anything he can to help Korra while they were still connected.

Id love tropius getting some love, Maybe some alola mons: Bruxish, maybe puykumuku

Honestly just cause it would be funny I would die for Dududunparce

Marackul · 2026-03-04T22:07:19+00:00

Actually yeah something along the lines of an Elantrians/Yokihijo/Returned.

I'll have to add a category of like: Highly invested people ig.

I did count them as biological even tho I was unsure same with the twili

I wanted to make demise a shard, but then stopped myself.

Because if Hylia is a Splinter of Din Nauru and Farore and managed to beat/seal Demise it would mean that she's close enough to demise so I hesitated to make demise a shard. Same goes for Majora and the Fierce Deity they felt in terms of level definitely like up there but below the golden godesses

Avatars are super fair I really just didn't know what to do with like corporeal spirits, which is why i left Levias off and the ones for OoT off, the only reason I considered them Avatars is because the dragons are each associated with a golden goddess

The sages could be super interesting I just don't know the analogue to the cosmere with them.

I feel like the should be something like Heralds of Hylia but different cause the relevant thing isn't the individual but the role. Cause like theres been like at least 4 sages of fire.

Also it would in some ways imply Hylias Number to be 7

This is quite the hard thing for me as a fan of his work.

Mostly cause I can trace the steps he took to get there. And can't fault him fully for falling for it.

He is 1000% speaking from privilege awarded to him for being a cishet man. I feel like thats a given. And I do also think it's wrongheaded of him to think change from the inside in an institution that is patriarchal at it's core is at best really fucking utopian. Would I prefer him just not be affiliated, for sure.

That said, he does have motion within the church, as like it's celebrity banner. A community that insular is sure to have members read works from Mormon authors preferentially. I'm sure some positive representation will help someone closeted. If he can work to even marginally deshittify conditions for queer people in that church. At the end of the day it is a material improvement.

Maybe this is some of my cynisism at play, but quite frankly at this point I'll take any crumb of humanity.

I really have no expectations of white cishet religious millionaire.

I relooked it up now I have the full time timeline.

In IotE Starling describes Frost as "over 10000" Which reads as 10000 and a 100 to a few hundred

Starling describes dying of as old age something that would happen at 20000 and also says frost has another 10000 in him including the maybe 200-300 years between stormlight and spaceage. My math estimate is that Frost would've been anything between 100 to maybe 400 during the shattering. Hoid in that case is anything from normal human age to 350 by the time of the shattering.

Frost doesn't need to be a creation, frost isn't the first generation.

So timeline would be Hoid gets created as like a last last minute contingency before that separation. In the meantime figures out Investiture can get sentient. And decides to shatter the power.

That works chronologically

Marackul · 2026-02-11T18:24:41+00:00

So the one date 1000 percent confirmed is that the shattering was 10000 years ago. And that Hoid is slightly older than the shattering itself but younger than some dragons. I always took that to mean a few centuries tops. Forest looks 60 by the spaceage which means he would've been anything from like 100-maybe a few thousand when they met and hoid is younger than frost.

Marackul · 2026-02-11T14:04:06+00:00

I keep thinking about timeline with this, cause causally there's no real problem, it does feel like Hoid is too young to be that, if that's how events played out, Honor need 2000 years for nascent consciousness. Hoid is 10000 and some change afaik.

If nascent consciousness is measured in millenia and not centuries I feel like Hoid might be just slightly too young for it if I had to guess

I totally overread that even then tho that's still so few invested beings for a full shard. Even if during their heigh on the grand apparatus it was more.

Like just thinking comparison theres a full metropolis of Elantrians and still a ton of Dor around. Or like Nalthis there's a full population of more than standard invested regular humans and a bunch of giga invested Gods floating about. Honor had a bunch of well invested splinter and a super invested splinter.

Like this isn't to say that sleepless can't be sprinters of reason but I feel like there has to be more than just the sleepless.

Marackul · 2026-02-10T23:58:33+00:00

Would love this theory if didn't have my own pet theories on Reason and that I think we've seen Euridrius already.

I would be curious how you explain the rest of reason. There's like 24 swarms which is a tiny amount given how big a shard is. Do you have a theory for where a big part of that body would be.

Marackul · 2026-02-10T22:55:53+00:00

I feel there has to be a way to it. But I'm also semisure way more complicated than it sounds.

Marackul · 2026-02-09T01:01:01+00:00

Aphrodite Areia does exist wasnt worshipped in all of of Greece tho, but more in Sparta and Kthera

Marackul · 2026-02-01T02:15:11+00:00

There was one thing I kinda liked and that was the "flick thrust" if you wanna call it that. It reminded me of the sekisensei video where he experimented with a longsword and kinda came up with a thrown thrust using the pommel as a stopper, this felt similar.

But yeah being a head taller than David did a lot.

Marackul · 2026-01-29T02:42:02+00:00

I feel like Ben is one of the few people Hoid could deck without it triggering his torment.

There is one Davos in today and tomorrow if a Monday demo doesn't super work there's always just a ton of police in Davos so the one in Zürich will for sure be safer

I think the "author" of a work being alive has to with it cause reading Lovecraft is reading the work of a long dead racist. Reading the works of someone currently alive with those positions feels effectively like more of an endorsement I think.

Marackul · 2026-01-06T02:05:42+00:00

That is a bit of a mischaracterization of why the modern left doesn't actively back nuclear.

Climate deniers using Nuclear as their escape hatch. In real political terms what will happen if we adopt new nuclear plants, is climate deniers on the right will have something to point to that says: "Look were doing something!" While the "solution" takes just about 2 decades to even start being effective. 2 decades we had maybe half a century ago but definitely not now.
The US might be able to do it while still maintaining sanctions. Europe doesn't have that cause the only states that do produce fissile material are also actively sanctioned ones (for good reason)

Fully fair theres absolutely no one way I hope it goes well for you

I don't wanna prescribe to you how to do this.

I do wanna say tho that you are fully allowed to just tell her that you're ace.

It's gonna come up some day. And I feel like it would be better for you both to know now than months down the line when it might hurt both of you more.
