“Fjord is half-orc, half-elf” theory? where might i find more?

ohhhh I can’t remember the source right now, but it’s been going around for a little while and basically boils down to:

1. The fact that Fjord is always mentioned as being unusually lithe/small for a half-orc

2. His rather high charisma, which makes sense because he’s a warlock but also tends to be an elven-heritage trait

3. His posh accent, which sounds a lot like the elves of Tal’Dorei that we met in campaign 1

4. The DRAMA IF THAT WERE TRUE

[sparring-spirals]

your amazing fjord meta posts are slowly helping me articulate why, way back in episode like, 2/3 and he used Mask of Many faces for the first time I went "oh, he's a shapeshifter" and have not shaken that impression despite basically the entire group being able to disguise self or polymorph at this point. possibly cause he does it while in his own skin as often as when Masked but gaaah as I said still trying to words. anyway you're awesome thank you!

Aaaaaaaah this is super sweet! I’m SO glad people like the fjord metas because like... i accidentally got Super Into them. Fjord is a slippery slippery boi to get a handle on because a big point of his personality is that HE DOESN’T WANT TO HAVE ONE. God I had such a huge “fjord you tricky little fjuck” when i realized it that I then spent 2 or 3 metas just trying to verbalize it, so I’m glad they it got across. 

(pls know i mean that as affectionately as possible. part of the reason I wrote the most recent one was because the perception of Evil Fjord is just... such a perfect misunderstanding. Yes! He’s absolutely a liar! Bluffs a lot! Gives out half truths! Shady boi! But he’s not an evil mastermind waiting to betray his teammates- he’s the one trying desperately to not get betrayed. but he plays it off so well he becomes suspicious! everyone thinking he’s evil and competent is a sign of HOW GOOD HE IS AT HIDING HIS GENERAL WORRIES AND FEAR! FJORD STOP BEING SO GOOD AT PLAYING SHIT OFF.)

(god no wonder he and nott dont like each other. two sides of the same coin, ill tell ya. but thats a meta for another day)

anyway i could go on about this for a while. he’s a complex dude and i lov him and definitely love waxing poetic on him. I’m glad you liked the metas! thanks so much, i really appreciate it :D <3 no UR awesome.

fellow history person!! -waves excitedly from archaeology- your dissertation sounds really cool! I'm still hacking at my masters thesis

OH HEY FRIEND

My roomie and several friends are Archeologists and y’all have straight up the BEST theory like what the fuck.

I’ve literally cleared my schedule for tomorrow because Tim Ingold is visiting my campus and I MUST listen to the infamous man talk about bells??? (I’m pretty sure he’s talking about bells?? Why? No one knows. But he’s sure doing it)

AND JUST FUCKING DROWN ME IN PHENONMENOLOGY YES I LOVE IT

The only downside of archaeology is all the fucking dirt and the fact that half the field is like??? feuding?? with mine? And the Classicists? I do not understand, we are all moving towards the same goal, but this is not the forum to try to understand discipline wars. ANYWAYS YOU’RE GREAT good luck with your thesis, you’ve got this!!

Natasha looks at Steve, golden and gleaming, nearly a century old but looking like a young man in his prime, and understands, in a way she never truly had before, that the Soldier isn’t the only monster in the room. It’s a reassuring thought. Steve’s pursuit of the Soldier isn’t the quixotic longing of a man seeking his lover’s ghost; it’s the pull of like calling to like.

H’okay, SO. This is a passage from For I Have Loved You With a Heart of Smoke, a vaguely eldritch Stucky horror ficlet. This scene takes place immediately after the fall of the Triskelion, which in this story involved Bucky sticking around after dragging Steve out of the water and both of them ending up in the same hospital room, with Natasha keeping watch from a chair in the corner.Natasha has been doing constant threat analysis ever since she got to the riverbank and saw the Winter Soldier tangled up with a mostly-unconscious Steve. The Winter Soldier seems docile enough so far, although she sure as hell doesn’t expect that to last, but her biggest worry is about Steve. By now she knows who the Winter Soldier used to be (that’s how she’s going to think of the Winter Soldier until shown otherwise; someone who used to be Bucky Barnes), and she knows that makes Steve incredibly vulnerable to him. Natasha is worried that Steve is going to chase after the shadow of Bucky Barnes within the Winter Soldier and get himself heartbroken and/or killed, probably both, in that order, because Steve is blind to who the Winter Soldier really is.But this moment, which comes after a cryptic exchange between Steve and Bucky that references their shared history, is about Natasha realizing she’s been thinking of Steve the wrong way. Steve is ancient and young at the same time. Steve has been resurrected from a living death in the ice. Steve has a shared history with the Winter Soldier, and that’s given him power Natasha doesn’t fully understand. Steve himself is something uncanny, something not-quite human, just like the Winter Soldier is. Natasha’s not using “monster” in a pejorative way here, just as a statement of fact, and it’s a fact she finds comforting. Natasha would never be able to trust Steve’s love for Bucky Barnes to keep him safe from the Winter Soldier. But once she understands that Steve and the Winter Soldier are like calling to like, Natasha can trust that connection is something Steve is going into with his eyes open, not just a nostalgic blind spot she’ll have to guard for him.

hi sorry to bother, just wanted to let you know that the "Mars Sunrise" images are actually artist renditions, by the amazing Kees Veenenbos. the HiRISE photos point straight down (but are still super cool). I did do an add on when i reblogged it. sorry again!

Naw dude, don’t apologize, call that shit out when you see it! I’ve amended my reblog as well and added some sources. Thanks again!

[leveragehunters]

teeth?

Did I mention one of my WIPs is a vampire Bucky fic?

Hebrushed his nose against Steve's neck, kissed the spot over his jugular, kissedit again when Steve sucked in a sharp breath, licked gently as Steve's pulse racedunder his tongue, then, smooth and quick, sank his teeth through the skin.

Thank you for asking :)
