underrated moment in honour among thieves: when all of them are attacking sofina at the same time except you can clearly tell they are each taking their turns to attack. this is what 6 seconds per round combat would look like and I LOVE it

happy new years to everyone, but especially these two and their meddling dragons!
and a lil new years message is under the cut!
i wanna say thank you for the all the kindness i've received in the passing year from all of my beloved mutuals and followers. the fact that ya'll have stuck with me through all my fandom hopping and droughts in art uploads means a lot to me. it's been very encouraging to see how much people enjoy my work, along with all the sweet comments people leave in tags, and it really helps motivate me figure out how to do my art full-time. i have a lot i wanna do this year, ( like build my portfolio so i can finally pursue professional work, ) so i hope everyone will continue to support me going forward! 🥳✨

the fuck kind of night shirt is he even wearing??
Next time we see him he has hastily put on his clothes and padded armor but didn't have time to buckle it on, it's just held on by his belt.

I was looking for reference pictures of Stede's S2 rings for a cosplay and ended up going on a weird research journey over one of them.
Sweet. Just gonna take a quick browse through amazon to see if I can find something that fits the bill. I'll start with that big ol' gold one with the cross.
Ayyyy winner, winner chicken dinner.
Wait... an exorcism ring? Didn't that priest say something about the Vatican and an exorcism or something about exorcists before he died?
Yup.
Well, great load of help that was for priest guy...
So Stede stole that dude's suit and his rings, one of which is some kind of supposed Christian protection charm to ward off evil. It's probably nothing, but the thing about opening doors and difficult paths is interesting.

interesting to note here that when aragorn does this:
it's not necessarily just a random gesture of affection but may be implied to be a specific gesture of farewell used in gondor, at least based on what we're told when faramir says goodbye to sam and frodo later:
("after the manner of his people")
which would imply that aragorn is actually deliberately saying goodbye to boromir as he dies in a specific way that would be familiar & culturally appropriate to him

thinking more thoughts about Messmer’s role in the story… looking at the descriptive text again,
“The Land of Shadow. A place obscured by the Erdtree. Where the goddess Marika first set foot. A land purged in an unsung battle. Set ablaze by Messmer’s flame.”
this could imply that the land of shadow was the place of Marika’s first conquest on her path to total dominion.
again, I believe Messmer’s dialogue implies that Marika is his mother:
“Mother, wouldst thou truly Lordship sanction, in one so bereft of light?”
since Marika is the one who, through grace, guides the Tarnished on their path to Lord, to me, she is the only person who is in a position to “sanction Lordship.” so it makes the most sense that Messmer is speaking to her. there’s also of course the M naming convention amongst Marika’s children, the fact that Messmer sits on a demigod-style throne, and his resemblance to Radagon.
the fact that Messmer is notably absent from the rest of the demigod legends in the lands between, and the fact that his flame “set ablaze” the lands of shadow, makes me think that long ago, he may have assisted his mother Marika in her subjugation of the shadow lands… and when Marika left, she left him there in charge, and this is why he has no presence in the lands between.
interestingly, the lands of shadow seem to be full of symbols heretical to the golden order, such as the bear with red hair and omen horns, and the lion dancer boss, which has omen horns sprouting from it. what if the lands of shadow became a sort of dumping ground for the beings that ended up falling outside of Marika’s perfect order, and was severed from the lands between to try to contain the chaos of that place?
then there’s Messmer himself, with his “traitorous” snakes and his flame and his allusions to dragons… what if… he started out serving his mother Marika, but became disillusioned with the fact that she left him alone to preside over the exiles of her perfect domain? that she abandoned him, while she and her other children live in her perfect realm of light? what if he became twisted and corrupted, betraying his original purpose, and he now acts as a tyrant? what if he’s almost jealous of the tarnished, who seem to hold his mother’s favor, while he has stood in the erdtree’s shadow for millennia?

letting you guys know the insane detail that is the fact that the ticking cant be heard in the vod. it was a TRUE auditory hallucination for qforever. if you watch the vod back he genuinely sounds insane when mentioning the ticking because you cant hear it - the audience could only hear it live and like. MAN is that a good detail to not have it record on the vod!!! holy shit!!!
