Which magic was more powerful? The magic of the present or the magic of the times of archmage Tangriel?

I'd say that the actual "power" of magic hasn't changed, just the way it's used and applied has! It's more like fashion--we're still using much of the same materials (cotton, linen, etc.) as, say, the Victorians to make our clothes, but the way we style and shape them is extremely different, even if the base substances remain the same! I'd say the primary difference between the magic of the modern day and the magic of Archmage Tangriel's time is merely complexity: they could use magic to do certain really complex, esoteric, or large-scale things well (things that modern magic struggles to figure out how to do), but it could take weeks or even months of labor and calculation and weaving, while modern magic is more efficient, straightforward, and takes less effort on an individual level, but is also more limited in broad scope!

It's like the difference between asking a person to construct a gun from scratch or fashion a spear out of what's lying around. Depending on your specific needs, the spear could be all you need, especially if you don't have time to make the gun (say, if a zombie were bearing down on you), but if you took the time to make the gun, the gun would ultimately be more versatile and be able to do a broader range of things, though you'd have to take the time and effort into making it, refining it, and figuring out how to use it over a period of months!

Hope that makes sense!

a place of no return

summary: Despite Blade ordering them all to return in one piece, Zelda's taken an injury that could only be called life-threatening.

pairing: Trouble Alder x f!Hero of Haven 

rating: mature (just to be safe. there's a lot of descriptions of blood and injury in here.)

wc: 3.9k

"We both knew this would happen," her father says, that steady, gentle tone in his voice one Zelda's missed. "If it is her time, I wanted it to be peaceful. With us." Something tickles in the back of her mind. There’s something she’s missing here. Something she doesn’t quite understand, but every time she reaches for a conclusion, the uneasiness slips away like sand between her fingers.  “Did I do something wrong?” Zelda asks.

The new scene has me in a chokehold

Thank you @andengeu for perfectly capturing the momentary shock of Nayeli and Blade being close to each other, and being aware of each other.

#shepherds of haven #shoh spoilers #blade bronwyn #blade x mc #shoh mc: nayeli valendil #i feel i should clarify: ik blade is shirtless in the scene & mc can be too (optionally) #but i didnt have a clear reference for all of blade's scars (or at least the big one across his ribcage) or of his tattoo. so yea #also its supposed to be cold where the 4th day off takes place (for me) so i was like why not give him a shirt #its probably why he gets sick by the time we reach the hunters. hes training without a shirt in the cold like come on blade #lol anyway. i still love this piece and their expressions!! its like an almost 'oh' moment #but instead they panic at how close they are to each other #i like this outcome the most because of the surprise blade must feel when mc manages to pin him down (aka beating him)

Ohhh but he used to think nothing of it…

Chase getting less votes than Mimir for the school principal is sending me

I'm honestly not shocked... it simply shows you all have good sense

More silly text memes for Chase!

And last, but not least, Chase when he catches feelings:

[image IDs in ALT]

Fun fact, the very first thing I did for @shepherds-of-haven was this little post of a couple of text memes that perfectly fit Chase. Since it's exactly a year later I wanted to post some more for him today.

#what a odd anniversary to 'celebrate' lol #if one of the other characters is your fav I might have something in the works for them too #though a few characters I can't seem to find much in the way of text posts that fit them which is a bit frustrating #and how much I find for each character really doesn't even reflect my own personal biases #shepherds of haven #shoh #chase trinaeste #shoh memes

This Is What You Are
