words of wisdom from wikipedia this evening

[elexuscal]

"what did students do before chatgpt?" well one time i forgot i had a history essay due at my 10am class the morning of so over the course of my 30 minute bus ride to school i awkwardly used by backpack as a desk, sped wrote the essay, and got an A on it.

six months later i re-read the essay prior to the final exam, went 'ohhhh yeah i remember this', got a question on that topic, and aced it.

point being that actually doing the work is how you learn the material and internalize it. ChatGPT can give you a short cut but it won't build you the the muscles.

Another one for "objectively funny crimes should not be punished"

"If all has gone well you'll have the stone in hand; we'll need the steel, and you said you can convince her to reshape it into an anchor. If not, anyone in the family can make plow shares."

so I think this is in reference first to the stone of nightsong, then to how he thinks he can convince thaisha to reforge the pariah blades into something new, and if not her any lloy would do.

"Once it's done, the next step is to bring it to the field. Our wings are leading a charge across the border to draw the locals from the site. That hot shot I mentioned will meet you there and help prepare the arch from steel to stone. Please try to temper his confidence with pragmatism. Yes, I know you are precisely the wrong person for that."

so if this is still referring to the most recent thing, the field would be the hallowed round, mara would be drawing tachonis souls from the other side, but I don't know what bogery would be doing except maybe preparing a way to faerie? i don't know what the "arch from steel to stone" means in this regard.

"Still, remember, until a stable trinity of bridges are built it is vital that the blood be protected. I trust that you have disguised it well. With any luck, the next time I see your face we will have undone the damage of our first attempt. More than one door will be open to us from there."

we watched the bridges get built! we watched the bridge from the river in the afterlife to araman to faerie get built in real time and then thaisha further connect it to the path. they even reopened faerie.

"Until then, I search for suitable anchors for the remaining four. We may need more hands soon after."

anchors for the other four shapers! so i think that what thjazi was doing was gathering the swords that felled the shapers, turning them to plowshares, and using their psychopomps to undermine whatever the tachonises were doing and freeing the souls that are trapped in the endless limbo of the underworld.

we know he had the blood, the pariah blades, and the ritual at the hallowed round. he had the stone of nightsong and probably a bead on the arrow that killed sylandri. and he had the coffin of obalad, already reshaped with a mask of the panto in it prepared for rauwyn (also happens to know a mask of the panto just bopping around the city)

for tansul he would need a tachonis (so lucky his sister in law is friends with occtis) and the staves of night (weird he went to tanessar with mara on a scouting mission the very place tansul was slain), we don't know with what or how trozhna, omra, or illumi died, but i will mention illumi's consort was the father of waves and we know someone who had a pact with a sea entity/a sea door has been mentioned.

i think the swords are the things that slayed the shapers and they are the items that need to be turned to plowshares. i think the anchors are the remains of the psychopomps, and i think each needs a ritual to reopen a door to an afterlife that has been closed. and i think the reason that the tachonis family wanted him dead so bad is this threatens their endless supply of souls in the afterworld, as does the Old Path, the only way for the souls to move on. i think this was thjazi's big plan to heal the world.

also, i think the professor is a member of the cloak who works at the totality.

Sorry if other reblogs have already said this but I think the arch from steel to stone is the bridge! And the fields are the Dying Fields not the Hallowed Round. I think that the Hallowed Round was a connecting point to the Dying Fields through the play and the spirits it summoned.

I also think that the anchors aren't for the Shapers, but for the afterlives. Thjazi was trying to open the lost afterlives for souls to cross over. I think the Sea Door is going to be an opening to a sea themed afterlife - the one that.... fuck whats his name got washed into instead of being tachonis yoinked

[hotlegsharker]

You're the first and I think you are actually correct about the Dying Fields. And I wonder if Bogery was actually supposed to be in charge of the paint, not Hal. Because I think it was the paint that made the arch and allowed the bridge to originally form, thus meaning the purpose of the psychopomp is do open the gate. And I do wonder if the Sea Door is related to Pascard.

(My theory about the only doors that might still be open to the afterlife are the ones connected to the titan paramours of the shapers, because we know about Father of the Waves, who was a titan, and the wave took Pascard's soul away. We also know about Memnir father of the Wind who is an ancestor to house Einfasen and I think maybe Mara in her bird shape can use the wind one. either that or she got wraith sickness on purpose to go back and forth, but again that's not about the letter)

But to my main point, I think I was so excited about having figured out the letter after staring at it I didn't explain it in my original post. The Shapers closed the afterlives after they died, essentially trapping everyone who had died before in those afterlives and blocking everyone who would have gone on to those afterlives after the Shapers were destroyed from doing so. This caused the tenebral reaches to go from like a small place to an actual territory, forming places like the Sea of Lachris.

I think what Thjazi was planning on doing was undoing that final act of the shapers. He was going to turn the "swords" as it were (the things that killed the shapers) into plowshares to open up a path to not only the souls in the different afterlives, but to all the ones who have been trapped in the middle ground under the control of the Tachonis family for the past 70 years, thus robbing them of the their glut. I think that somehow by reopening the closed afterlives and anchoring them again to Araman with the plowshares it is going to change how the afterlife fundamentally works and maybe even bring back resurrection magic etc.

I think each of the anchors therefore has to be coded to the different Shapers to reopen the afterlives and free the souls. And the vague reference to the other four in the letter is the other four Shapers/things. that were used to kill them. Because I think it isn't as simple as acquiring a piece of a celestial psychopomp, the weapon, and making a ritual. I think the intention is huge as well. I also feel like the fact we have been introduced to a significant gnome character isn't coincidence (Demodus) from Mister Lee Mulligan in regards to everything with the Panto and Obalad. I think the "hands" that reshape the swords are also important in how successful the anchor is.

(makes me wonder if the first attempt was and if it had to do with Tansul if the necromantic energy headed right towards faerie and if Thjazi was trying to fix it and stumbled upon the right way to fix Azgra or what)

Also, I think the other letter, the thing with the sepulchral lord going to the Halls of Mercy might be a way for the Tachonis to get all the souls of the things they don't automatically get, but that is speculation for another post.

You know the parable about how the foolish man built his house upon sand and the wise man built his house upon rock and it’s always about having a sturdy foundation well there is also the fact of location which is that the sand probably used to be rock except it’s been eroded to sediment because it’s a FUCKING FLOODPLAIN

I just want to make a quick note about this before people get too silly about the situation. It's very important to remember that Robbie is Native American, and is putting a lot of work into making sure that Kattigan has indigenous cultural touchstones as part of his characterization. And that is the appropriate lens through which we should view his missing and murdered wife and daughter, I think.

I would be reluctant to use fridging in this exact context, because this isn't some imaginary scenario to generate manpain for a white hero, this is a much more common experience of Native American and First Nation people, having their wives and daughters and sisters (in particular, but not exclusively) go missing. And never getting answers, never learning what happened, and not being believed that there's a problem in the first place.

This is like how being rescued from a tower by a prince is not particularly empowering or affirming to cis physically able straight thin perisex white women and girls, but can be for basically anybody else. Particularly black girls and women, who do not get a lot of cultural messages that treat them as people who are so valuable and precious, who may not have the strength to save themselves, or may wish that they didn't fucking have to save themselves (and everyone else) all the time.

White men have this story so often happen that we have a trope name specific to one specific and particularly egregious version of this, but you don't often see men who look like Robbie dealing with this type of story in fictional settings, even though it happens for men like Robbie in real life with horrifying frequency.

Sometimes stories that are old can be new again in different hands, from different point of views, so just... mind how you step here.

big fan of when voice actors have the free will to just say whatever they want in character voice and use it frequently so the fanbase get all these inexplicable clips of their favorite characters quoting memes. more voice actors should do this forever and ever.
