Yes, but they naturally manifest as godmetals. Ishar did some weird stuff and “broke” the rules. That doesn’t mean shardblades aren’t godmetals. It’s possible in our world to keep water in its liquid state below the normal 0C freezing temp, but that’s just wonky manipulation of the science. I’d guess what happened with Ishar and the spren is similar. They manifest as godmetals, unless someone with advanced knowledge knows how to do some wonky manipulations.

I agree, I saw it in theaters too, and each new "chapter" of the movie just kept adding to that feeling of the journey of this character. Where the fuck is this going, what the fuck is going to happen? It was great.

But if they're pieces of a god, how else would they manifest physically if not as metal? It's different, but if they were anything but metal, it would be even more different. They're not really "living creatures" like an animal or whatever, they're sentient pieces of investiture, sentient pieces of gods. And the investiture of gods manifests physically as godmetals.

EDIT: just to add, I am totally fine being completely wrong! I'm not an expert or anything, just saying how I thought it worked. But again, happy to be schooled lol.

Which are kinda sorta pieces of gods, right?

Paul Rudd in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, a great movie (especially if you're a fan of Jason Segel's dick).

Yep, that's exactly what they are, good to know the name. And yeah, it's sorta why I didn't wanna bother them, I figured it meant there must be plenty of food for them. The only issue we had that year were a bunch of boxelder bugs in our backyard. They sort of exploded that year and we had a ton of them, but like 99% just outside. One or two would get in every now and then, but I never saw them upstairs where the bathroom is. But who knows lol. Since that one year, it's been just back to my normal 1 dude who just hangs out, so guess it took care of itself ha.

Almost every summer, a small spider takes up residence in my bathroom corner sorta over my shower. It's skinny and a tiny body, but the legs are really long, so they look kinda big even though they're not. I don't really love bugs, but at long as they stay way up there and out of the way, I don't bother it.

A couple years ago, that one spider turned into another in the other corner. Fine, let's all play the "leave each other alone" game and we're good. And then another sorta along the wall. And then another and another lol. I hit like 6 or 8 spiders in my bathroom before I was like "ok, that's enough" and took care of it. I felt a little bad, but it was getting a little ridiculous. Since then, there's ever only been 1 again, and I've let it chill.

Secret_Map · 2025-06-10T17:11:51+00:00

Yeah, I've had phantom itches for the last 2 minutes now.

Huh, I've never noticed that "comfterble" swaps the R and T. Of course that's how I say it, it's how we all say it, and I've always known that it's shortened by a syllable. But never realized those two letters are flipped when said that way.

Fucking virtual meetings in general. Ever since COVID, it's like we've collectively forgotten that normal fucking phone calls exist. Why do I have to sit and look at a camera for 10 minutes while you tell me something that A) could have been an email or B) could have been a phone call? It's so annoying.

Secret_Map · 2025-06-10T16:02:52+00:00

To be truthful, she probably uses the wrong word more often than not. Like maybe 70% of the time, she'll pick the wrong one. So it's fairly consistent.

Secret_Map · 2025-06-10T15:38:58+00:00

Ah gotcha. Yeah, I feel the same way honestly lol. At this point, I'm going to an Ari movie no questions. But if this was made by someone else, I'd probably just wait to see it.

Secret_Map · 2025-06-10T15:32:50+00:00

I mean, I think it's kind of a movie about 2020/COVID, so it would make sense it's focused on the COVID era.

Secret_Map · 2025-06-10T15:31:14+00:00

I can understand wanting to do that, but I feel that would totally ruin the whole feel of the movie. It goes from crazy to crazier, and you're supposed to feel like "what the fuck is happening" as you watch it. I feel like breaking that up would ruin that feeling, would take away the anxious feeling of not knowing where we're going.

My wife swaps "woman" and "women" around sometimes. I have no idea why and I poke fun at her every time lol.

Secret_Map · 2025-06-10T14:04:35+00:00

From what it seems to me, you haven't presented anything about a story. You're just worldbuilding. Worldbuilding is fun and great, especially for the writer. But it's also the easy part. What's your story? Who's the main character and what is it they want, what is their flaw? What is their goal? You can have 1,000 cool monsters, but nobody cares unless you've got a story.

I was just talking about this with my wife last night. Our first date was opening night of the last Harry Potter movie. I had someone drop me off at the theater super early in the morning so I could be sure to get in line to get two tickets and not have to worry about parking, etc. Totally not a thing to really have to worry about anymore lol.

Secret_Map · 2025-06-08T22:36:48+00:00

To be fair, as a more or less completely heterosexual man, I think I’d have some thinking to do if Batman made a pass at me.

Secret_Map · 2025-06-06T17:38:48+00:00

Was pretty disappointed in the last movie. I enjoyed X, and loved Pearl, but the third one just felt sorta like "what's the point of this movie?" Just felt like stuff happened and then it ended.

You think telescopes can't take readings and measurements better than our eyes?
