The unspoken importance given to Farosh is driving me insane lol
The Hyrule compendium says Farosh is the “spirit of lightning” and that it “serves the Spring of Courage since ancient times”, it’s body being able to “cause lightning storms”.
Farosh can be found in both the surface and the depths, circling the Faron grasslands and the Gerudo desert.
There is the Dracozu lake, that gives into the spring of Courage and where you can find a piece of the charged outfit, that Rauru wears and that gives lightning powers to its wearer during thunderstorms, being obviously inspired by Farosh and “used in ancient rituals”. Link can also get the two other dragon outfits, but the charged outfit is the only that is given that much importance, through the quest with Tauro.
In the depths, behind the Wellspring of Courage’s waterfall, there is the Dracozu altar (the other two wellsprings don’t have altars), and just above, in the skies, you can find the Dragonhead island, which was hidden by a huge thunderstorm.
Then, there is the courage island, also shaped like a dragon, right above the Thundra plateau, where there is almost always a thunderstorm.
The two other challenge islands are the valor island and the bravery island, still dragon shaped and not wisdom and power themed at all (?).
The Zonai seemed to have their own equivalent of the triforce, kinda, with the imagery of the boar (power), the owl (wisdom), and the dragon (courage), and they seemed to give Farosh/courage/the figure of the dragon a great deal of importance as well (in the Typhlo ruins, the Thundra plateau etc etc).
The Zonai are also very obviously dragon people (most likely inspired by the Kirin, a chimerical creature from Chinese and Japanese mythology), and they’re the bearers of the secret stones, that can transform their wearers into, well, legit dragons.
So a part of me wonders if there is a link between Urbosa and Riju’s lightning powers and Farosh’s… And well, maybe the low-key Gerudo looking Ancient hero (eight heroine?) has something to do with it.
The south-west corner of the map, in the Gerudo desert, is also called the “dragon’s exile”, and right underneath, in the depths, you can find the huge dark skeleton.

I flinch every time people cite the 3.5 Drow of the Underdark book as universally applicable (especially to BG3). Like noooo that one is system agnostic! The example it gives of an Underdark city is literally the big signature drow city from Greyhawk! It contradicts established material for how Forgotten Realms-specific drow work! If you're gonna use it you have to know that it's explicitly a pick and mix toolbox! Haaaaank!!!

Hey. Hey! HEY!!!
I've talked a bit about the tv show Sanctuary, and the goddess know as Helen Magnus played by grand empress of sci fi Amanda Tapping, so if you have ever in your life been interested to watch it-- IT'S ON TUBI.
I finally caved because I wanted to watch The Nevers, and I was browsing to build my watchlist, and it's THERE.
My poor heart. Time to get lost in the rabbit hole again....

Doing a little statistics with my rankings, comparing my opinions to the populous, cos why not:
And it's funny 'cause on first glance it's kinda like: damn my opinions seem pretty divided as compared to the "Popular Rank" (which I calculated as an average for the season ratings pulled from IMDb & Serializd.)
But then you look at the actual averages and it's literally:
The difference between the lowest ranked season and the highest ranked season is only 0.73 of a star. For a show that's been running for 18+ years with 16 seasons, that's kind of an insane amount of (high quality) consistency. I thought it was cool to visualise, at least.

Dipping my toe into the Supernatural production lore has me thinking about Buffy again. Do people know? Do people know what kind of absolutely bananas stuff was happening with Spuffy?? Like, they fucked for an entire season. The final season focuses on Spike and Buffy so much that it arguably crowds out the development of the Actual main characters. And yet. I had to get up and literally walk around the room with my hand on my forehead like Columbo just THINKING about their final conversation. Remarkable parallels to spn. How history repeats itself

I did attempt to randomise with a random number generator but the universe clearly wants things in some semblance of order as it came back with 2 5 4 3 🤪🤪
