It's been awhile, couple hundred of years.

Give or take.

It's not that bad, Cyno.

Just a bit of ache. A bit of yearning.

Ah, and missing you for all of the eternal life I was cursed with.

Selfish desires of the heart that was once moved.

#haino #cytham #alhaitham x cyno #cyno #alhaitham #cyhaino #immortal alhaitam and cyno who is long gone #this is one of the au's that are rattling in my brain #alhaitham as history keeper and immortal being #never minding his immortality #just gaining knowledge and observing and noting down #until he meets cyno #cyno is a warrior #a general that is a vessel for a god #challeges him and fascinates him #and alhaitham for the first time becomes part of the history he used only to observe #because cyno fights in the war because of his loyality and conviction #suddenly theres so much meaning in small things that alhaitham never discovered before #so much meaning in life #but human life is short and ficle #and for cyno it also ends #neither peacefully nor of old age #he dies by blade and blood spilling #but he is remembered by his kin #they build him a statue #his name will be remembered in books #as for alhaitham - he will continue wandering history #missing him deeply #maybe immortality is in fact a curse

Caches suck, like maybe the Vespera problem wouldn’t exist if they’d kept tabs on her instead of 1984-vaporizing her and locking her up without even knowing why she’s in prison

i really like the point percy makes (and that vax eventually agrees with) about civilization during their conversation about westruun after umbrasyl was killed — a city built by very people's hands deserves preservation and saving as much as those same people leaving in it.

«the death of the city is such a blasphemy. it is the murder of the dead. and i am horrified.»

«building will give them [people of westruun] something to do. and if the dragon comes back, they will be safe underground. and if the dragon doesn't, we have saved thousand of years of inspiration and life. it's... you can't just abandon something like this! there's too much here.

vax: otherwise, what else are we fighting for?

otherwise, it becomes our friend pike from nowhere.»

it's such a beautiful point about history and culture being as important to keeping human civilization alive as saving lives of people. preserving knowledge build into the walls of cities can become a new starting point, a foundation that the new generation will be built upon, more equipped and smart. and just not entirely faceless. remembering the culture is important, it's an identity, it's a customized dress that tells about the roots of beliefs and explains people's behavior. it's a wisdom carefully interwoven into the tale of creation of this specific piece of the world.

the culture is important.

and percy being the one who lost overnight his whole family and his town knows about it more than a man of his age would want to. the history of his family was inseparable from the culture of whitestone and one of briarwoods' goals was to tear it down in the most cruel way. to smear the de rolo's name in their own blood and dirt and render their town faceless and hopeless, only useful of their own vicious plans.

and it now makes so much sense to me personally why vax was so determined to use pelor as a symbol of hope, spreading it as a signal everywhere he went. he understood it, too. he saw pieces of whitestone culture being destroyed and wanted to bring them to life in people's hearts in the form of symbolism carried over in spoken word. and yes, he wanted to help percy. yes, it was done for the rebellion. but one doesn't cancel the other. and in my opinion, it wasn't just about percy defeating the briarwoods but more about percy being a still alive and standing piece of whitestone history and culture that can be and should be a symbol himself.

a symbol of rebirth of the culture that there used to be, a culture attached to the de rolo family and hence attached to whitestone.

i just find all of this incredibly compelling in terms of character building and in terms of simply being a human being serching for what's important in life.

#vax being a child of two cultures and yet not belonging to any of them #really does appreciate the importance of culture being important for other people #and percy just has so much wisdom at times like this #he might have not been trained to rule as he said himself but he definitely is a keeper of knowledge #he loves history and culture and languages and he just can have westruun lose all of that #because that's what he was taught to love and he does #i just love it #it's such a beautiful conversation #may c1 watch through #ep 56 #percy de rolo #vax'ildan #percival fredrickstein von musel klossowski de rolo iii #vax #vox machina #critical role

Tarn's entire frame goes stiff as he feels those servos wrap around his throat. He wasn't quite caught off guard, but it wasn't exactly expected. He ignored the rush of excitement that ran up his spinal strut. The DJD leader swallowed thickly, neck cables shifting under those servos that held him there.

His helm croons up a little, giving him ample space for his servos. His optics stay locked on to Terminus, searching his facial expression for any sign of intent. Tarn had worked to garner a good rapport with Terminus, or so he had hoped. His servos reached up, resting over the miner's wrists. He made no motion to pry his servos away, not just yet.

Admitting it or not, Tarn couldn't ignore the thrill of this. Terminus was undoubtedly powerful, even at his old age. Most "manual" class mechs had to be to survive the position imposed on them from the Functionists.

He was at a loss for words, his thoughts had drifted to more... lascivious places. No no, don't presume. His optics closed for a moment, trying to will away the ideas that were plaguing his processor at the moment.

'bereavement leave only applies to immediate family' okay wig tell me these policies were written by western individualist society WASPs without explicitly telling me so

Not attending a cousin's funeral?? In MY family?? With the approximately seven billion aunts and uncles and assorted relatives??? Lmao okay. I literally do not understand these ppl who assume everyone is like them and dont have a large extended family and accompanying obligations (regardless of whether or not I /like/ this family, Im gonna/gotta go)

#also its literallly not my fault i have to be gone for 4 days of work #bc its far away #and not like a little day jaunt for a funeral #the duality of Fran #its starting to hit me now and i. just. overwhelmed and tired and weepy #and i wasnt even CLOSE to my cousin. she annoyed me alot!!! we barely saw each other #i selfishly am more worried about having to manage my fathers emotions #and the whole extended family drama #over the next few days #lowkey staying home would be preferrable but im not gonna do that im gonna be responsible #and there is smthn to be said about presence and a duty to the dead #even if no one else sees it like that. and mt whole family does drama #to me. to ME. there is an important duty to the dead. the waiting. the accompanying #its a duty and its also peaceful #ive long thought id have been a good graveyard keeper #less the physical elements #more the records and tombstones and paperwork #of some large long historied place #caring for the memory of it #yknow the rolls and registers anora speaks of in the cemeteries of amalo #and how none of the prelates want the public cemetary duty?? i would do well there

You watched Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" and now want to learn more about some of the scientists that were involved and the history of the Manhattan Project? Then I recommend "Pandora's Keepers" by Brian VanDeMark. The book takes a closer look at not just J. Robert Oppenheimer, but also Hans Bethe, Niels Bohr, Arthur Compton, Enrico Fermi, Ernest Lawrence, Isidor Isaac Rabi, Leo Szilard and Edward Teller. The book is a history book more so than a science book, most of the scientific explanations mentioned around the making of the bomb, aren't too complex to understand for readers who aren't experts on the matter.

What if one of the members of the Original Council was a Pyrokinetic?

We only know one of the three members of the Original Council (OG Council for short). That's Fallon Vacker, and we don't know his ability - only that it's probably not Pyrokinetics, as that would definitely tarnish his reputation further.

But what if one of the other two are?

I know they aren't important to the story, but it could also be why the OG Council isn't mentioned much. Plus, assuming Elf Society is similar to Human Society but just advanced a lot faster, Pyrokinetics would have been really handy. Also, as all three are Ancients (and, according to Fallon in Flashback, the modern-day is "exhausting") it's not like the public would really care after a certain amount of time. That OG councillors aren't coming back. They're not hurting anyone (I don't think Fintan's an OG Councillor, since the only confirmed one is just Fallon). Elfciety doesn't really mind anymore.

Thank you for listening to my TedTalk /j

(I was thinking of my "what if Telepaths were forbidden and Pyrokinetics the golden ability" AU and this popped into my head.)

#keeper of the lost cities #an awkward void rambles #kotlc #text post #plus that would be an interesting plot point in elven history #that no one ever listens to since they can't find helpful mentors for that #they don't actually go into history and i'm strangely curious when it comes to the Council #also... do you think one of the OG councillors died? #or went insane. that's possible #idk there's a lot we don't know about the OG Council (or a lot of the organizations)
