If you get this, answer w/ three random facts about yourself and send it to the last seven blogs in your notifs. anon or not, doesn’t matter, let’s get to know the person behind the blog!

(Hope you don't mind)

Sure, ok.

1. The first time I was ever in an airplane, I was piloting. I was 12. It took two weeks for my ears to pop and my hearing to fully return.

2. I would like to get back into drawing.

3. I have generalized anxiety disorder with panic attacks. And I don't have a formal diagnosis for other neurodivergence yet, but I have an Autism/ADHD assessment in August, so I guess we'll find out.

Cal would be furious and Jules would be staring at the ceiling desperately trying not to fall for all these women that could (and would) stake her.

I read a fic once that had Juliette going to college after having her memory of Cal erased and it had a moment where one of Juliette's friends was scolding her because apparently having her dates routinely try to kill her wasn't a major turn off???

Which to be fair is canonical, but also I think it so perfectly describes her character. The more confident college version of Jules even acknowledged it!

Friend: She Shot You! With a Silver Bullet!

Juliette: but the rest of the date was pretty good!

Friend: Tried. To. Kill. You.

Juliette: you know how many of my exes that applied to?

Lets talk about Stillmaker, Durge’s other canon blade

Okay, so we already know that Durge had the Bloodthirst dagger which was created from Bhaal’s own blood and carried by his chosen.

But there is another dagger in the game you can find that also canonically belonged to Durge, Stillmaker.

We see Stillmaker portrayed in Dark Urge’s official artwork, and it’s also Durge’s blade in Idle Champions, as you can see.

I’ve noticed that Stillmaker matches Bloodthirst in design, but it is conspicuously green, as opposed to every other Bhaalian weapon I’ve seen which are red.

You know who else’s canon weapon has the same green coloring? Gortash. And who is the color green associated with? Bane. Stillmaker looks like it was made in the same design to Gortash’s crossbow.

I posit then, that being close to one another as they were, Gortash either made or commissioned Stillmaker to match with Bloodthirst and gifted it to Durge. It’s far more his style in looks, and I feel it’s something he would have done as he describes Durge as his nearest and dearest, and we know they worked very closely together and admired one another.

It truly makes my Durgetash heart flutter!

EDIT: Here is a close up of the weapons together in game!

EDIT #2: We were discussing on discord yesterday, Orin would have of course kept the Bloodthirst blade after dispatching Durge because it’s made of Bhaal’s blood and carried by his Chosen, but she would not have wanted some sugary gift from her sibling’s Ex and probably tossed it away and Dolor ended up with it, and that’s how it ended up in his stash.

EDIT #3: @arikandkade made an EXCELLENT addition to this theory and I’m adding it because it’s just such great information, thank you so much for this info!

Valkyrie has two hands and they both hold onto a hyper powerful dumb(read: clueless) jock of a woman (Sif and Carol)

I also like to blend the MCU that I see with the comics that I know. For example Sif is the sister of Heimdall and is the only other person who can open the bifrost bridge. (She's the current guardian of the portal)

Hey, quick thought, have you ever tried watching Agents of SHIELD ?

There are 7 seasons so plenty of content, the main characters stay pretty much the entiere series.

They start all innocent cinnamon roll and end up very traumatized but also a cute little found family.

It has morally grey characters, emotional moments, unserious one liners, incredible plot twists, good moral conflicts, sad pathetic little characters who are also very strong, bloddy and feral women.

Anyway, since you like your female character to go through the horrors (angst, whump and eventually found family), I think you would like this show.

I have seen a few bits of it (read: Lady Sif).

Much like with legends, I think it's just the barrier of sitting down to watch it can be overwhelming.

It will probably be one of those media I absorb indirectly until my brain can handle it.

Well, the Sirens are tested in most places on the first Tuesday of every month, so that's at least 12.

Other than that it depends, the sirens go off when a confirmed tornado (touchdown required) is in the general area. I live in the expanded modern 'Tornado Alley' so we can get it a couple dozen times a season.

The US and Canada have the most in the world, by a lot.

Like 1,200 vs 15 kind of a lot.

They go off more now, because before the 1990's or so, we didn't know enough about them to warn people. Now we have it where most people will have 10-15 minutes before the storm is on top of them to get to shelter.

That moment when you realize that the wailing alarm that has been a 'tornato siren' your whole life is what most other parts of the world call an 'arial raid siren'.

The Midwest would be half exploded before anyone actually went into the storm/bomb shelters.

When you know the drive is to be your last, you take all the memories you can.

He cut it off a few days before making bail. Kinda unfortunate really.

Did you know that a previous car accident had gotten battery acid on Bonnie's leg which made walking difficult sometimes, so Clyde frequently would carry her, even though he also had issues walking due to cutting off his large toe to avoid being placed on a prison work chain?

I did know about the battery acid burns, however I did not know about Clyde's chopping off his big toe-

Those pictures are fascinating to me, though, they were found undeveloped with a few of Bonnie's poems when they fled their hiding spot, which means that they were taken recently, but who in their right mind would be having a mini photo shoot outside while on the run from the police???

Actually they weren't in their right mind at all, nevermind-

Galaxy thank you for fueling this interest further

Hi welcome to Galaxy's Oddly Specific Reason Not to Watch a Show!

The main Characters are all in the 12-16 age range, which is lovely because so many compelling stories can be told, but since it's so common now for a show to be cancelled and sit in limbo for a couple years before possibly getting picked up, the actors are all too old to continue their stories.

#this is the benefit of animated shows
