So I was watching this video, and I had a few thoughts.

Listen, I love the theory that it's a curse that's preventing the people of Natlan from leaving, but I'd like to raise a more detailed point.

For context, my dad plays Genshin- he's currently on his way to Liyue. I've been discussing minor bits of lore with him, in part because we both like a good story, but also because he's working towards a degree in history and he's an author. Because of his writing skills and his knowledge of history, he has a bit of insight into what could be happening with Natlan. Here's what we came up with:

1) It's possible that the people of Natlan find it too difficult to cross the region between it and the other nations. After all, it's quite possible that the Mare Jivari (or maybe a highly dangerous volcanic region) is in-between Natlan and Sumeru Desert, and we all know how dangerous and difficult to traverse that area is. It's like a desert on crack, and deserts like the Sahara have historically deterred people from interacting with nations beyond the sands. That doesn't mean no one ever tried- people did manage to cross the Sahara eventually, and the same goes for the Great Red Sands/Mare Jivari/whatever is in-between Natlan and the other nations because we know Vennessa's tribe made it through the region at some point. They must've had a pretty big reason to, like maybe dragons becoming more hostile towards their tribe specifically or the wars becoming too difficult for the Children of Murata to handle. They might've even been hunted due to their affiliation with the former Pyro Archon, which could be the result of a battle to earn that title taking place that might span back all the way to Vennessa's time. (Yes, this theory is inspired. I'll let you guess by who.) (Also this could be another nod to Natlan's inspiration. The ocean separated the Americas from the other continents for thousands of years before anyone decided to cross it.)

2) Natlan is extremely xenophobic, which would make sense due to its inspirations. Natives (both North and South American) have always been wary of outsiders due to some... certain people. My dad also brought up that some conquistadors in the Americas were known as "dragoons" due to their weapons, which you can look up on Wikipedia if you'd like to read more. Maybe Hoyoverse is going for a play on words with Latin American history and the dragons we hear about are/were invaders in Natlan, causing the nation to fear and hate outsiders. Maybe that is all in the past, but a Harbinger looking to win a tournament could use that history to cause some tension between the people of Natlan and the dragons they live with...

3) A combination of the previous two as well as war and/or a curse could be making it extremely difficult for the people of Natlan to exit their nation. This is the most likely option, historically speaking (minus the curse- consider that the thing that makes Genshin's version special). That is, if Hoyoverse plans to base Natlan on the Americas as much as they did with other nations and their inspirations.

What do you think?

Hi! I was wondering if you have the canon ages of all the dragon slayers and by extension the rest of the fairy tail kids? Wasn’t sure if there was a post you had already or not but would still like to know! Thank you so much!!

Yessss yes I do. Though "canon" is a bit loose here, because I do a combination of pulling the canon ages as of X784 that the series gives us and then finagling them to birthdays, a list I have thanks to my wonderful friend @nijiryuu who is insane (/pos) and compiled a list of literally everyone. I changed a few for plot reasons but uhhhh yeah.

They are definitely more but I think those are the main ones. At least the ones I look at because when I write them as babies I gotta know what I'm doing so I pull them out of the list into a separate list their year of birth and not just the birthday.

#fairy tail #htryds #ask #anon #character ages #wow that is a list #also the dragon clan is massive #since we don't have birthdates in canon #only birth years (sometimes) #niji made a list based off of voice actor birthdays #and I ran with it #few of them I had to change to fit the plot #but still this list is a godsend #fun fact one of these listed above is my birthday #it was completely by chance because the va birthday matches mine apparently #but I still think its funny

Ariadne and Vergil often stuck out like a pair of sore thumbs. Youthful faces, dark complexions and crowns adorned with silver hair. To receive a passing glance was normal. Sometimes a longer look. But there were moments, such as this, where the hairs raised at the back of her neck. It was that prickling feeling of something more.

The elder twin turned her head to scan their surroundings. It didn't take her long to lock eyes with the source, though there was a subtle change in her own expression. That hardened mask slipped to reveal her gentle surprise. No words were spoken, and yet she was as plain to read as a book.

An unassuming little old woman had disarmed her. She spared a twin brother a wordless glance, he nodded and approached the stablehand while Ariadne returned her attention to the stranger who had been staring at them. Her approach was almost a cautious one. She looked the woman up and down, could feel that familiar thrum — the song of magic.

"Well met." Ariadne spoke in her usual soft tone. Her eyes briefly left the older woman to take stock of the traveling bag at her side. "Are you here with anyone else? The roads are awfully dangerous to travel alone..." And to travel at her age.

Also me: *Has a resting bitch face and glares at anyone stupid enough to bump into me*

"Here is the start, to an endless battle of wills...

To change personal circumstance, an armed Ares- fly far from that hill.

Despite his namesake, he holds his breath back.

Knowing very well, he will be the last

To sleep. The mighty Ares, stands tall

Over mountains and cities, yet begins to crawl

The foe, defeat him he must

But ares, betrays his own bloodlust.

His nature cries, his birthright lies

The looking glass shines back, the mighty Ares,

He cries.

SLAY.

I'VE NEVER SEEN LEGO MONKIE KID, WHAT'S IT ABOUT?

GAY MONKEY'S FIGHT EVIL /J

NO BUT ACTUALLY, IT'S BASED OFF THE CHINESE NOVEL JOURNEY TO THE WEST! THE MAIN CHARACTER, MK, HAPPENS UPON REDSON AND HIS MOM TRYING TO FREE THE DEMON BULL KING GUY (Redson's dad, actually) AND IN THE PROCESS, MK ENDS UP WITH MONKEY KING'S STAFF AND BECOMES HIS SUCCESSOR-

IT'S A VERY COOL SHOW AND THE FANDOM'S CHILL FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN!

[the offcolor AU is a personality change! Inverting everyone's personalities & color pallets, MK (usually loud and excitable) is quiet and overall a downer, Mei (usually rambunctious and quite proud of her heritage) is disciplined and actively doesn't like her heritage seeing it as something that lost her her childhood, Redson (usually very pissy and arrogant) is timid and more mellow, etc etc!]

#bro the offcolor au lives rent free in my head #offcolor!wukong is an ass though #i should probably have a tag for this #ALSO I ACCIDENTALLY STOLE THE AU NAME/GENERAL IDEA FROM SOMEONE ON TIKTOKT #MY FRIEND CALLED IT THE OFFCOLOR AU AND GAVE A ONE WORD DESCRIPTION FOR SOME MAIN PEOPLE #AND I RAN WITH IT

As promised, below is the snap shot of what I wrote yesterday. I do not know exactly where its going or if I will continue it- but the idea was fun. Also- this is not edited...like AT ALL.

Symphonies of Fated Melancholy (working title) 

Petyr Baelish first felt the searing pain in his wrist when he was eighteen. He had been in Gulltown, seeking out his wealth during the shaky ground as The Vale navigated its newfound independence from the Seven Kingdoms. Fresh off from the War to end all Wars, Petyr found that the chaos in the aftermath was ripe to allow his name to grow. Whispers in the ear of Jon Arryn, through his young wife, and his talent for making gold appear from nothing, Petyr found success in other people’s misery. Yet, the pain in his wrist as the words appeared in black ink, a pain that rivaled the scar on his chest he obtained from Brandon Stark’s broken vodka bottle, had thrown him off kilter. 

A soulmate. 

He always assumed that he didn’t have one. He had not been born with the words on his wrist nor did they ever appear as he moved through his childhood. It was not uncommon for those to be without a soulmate. In the back of his mind, he thought the concept to be a curse, as he learned they all seemed to end in some tragedy or another. But, as he fell back onto the ground, his suspenders hanging around his waist and the cigarette toppling from his lips, nearly setting the warehouse he was in on fire, Petyr couldn’t help but think that perhaps the Seven found a suitable punishment for his sins after all. 

It doesn’t matter.It's not like I’ll ever meet her anyway.  He had thought to himself back then, picking himself off the ground and peering down at the black words that now stood out against his pale skin. He brushed the dust off his trousers and slipped his arms through his suspenders. Petyr was not a man who took breaks, as there was always gold to be made, but he allowed himself the luxury just that one time, as his mind raced with little else, his focus on who it was that just entered the world and what it meant for him. 

Yet, the rippling effects of a long war took root and the thought of his soulmate slipped away into the back of Petyr’s mind as his wealth grew. The kingdom that had broken into seven countries all plunged into crippling debt, families slowly losing power and their wealth falling into the hands of those who lacked old family names. 

Petyr Baelish was new money but to him that didn’t matter. Even as his temples grayed and lines appeared on his face as he pushed forty in the next two years, he was the one driving the luxury car and wore the expensive cufflinks on his shirt. He built an empire in the chaos, climbed the ladder until there was nowhere else to go but as the chill of White Harbor fell over him and the music from the symphony reached his rented box, he couldn’t help but wonder who his soulmate was and what it would be like to have her by his side on nights when he indulged in the finer things of life. 

“Do you think it's the cold that makes the strings on her cello sound awful or is it the lack of talent?” A voice chimed in from beside him and Petyr turned his head, taking in the man who sat beside him. He was taller than Petyr and had long black hair that reached his shoulders. He was considered handsome by many but it was the charismatic charm that seemed to buy him into all sorts of places. 

That and the Baratheon name still carried weight all through the content of Westeros. 

“Renly!” 

“Margaery, my sweet, you cannot actually be enjoying this?” Renly asked, turning to his wife who seemed to be glaring at her husband in annoyance. When Petyr had heard of the rushed marriage between Margaery Tyrell, the lovely heiress to the Highgarden fortune, and the late Robert Baratheon’s younger brother, he had been surprised. However, it did not take long to see beyond the rumors that she had fallen with a child, as a child never came, to discover the truth.

Soulmates really were a curse. Petyr thought, listening to them pair bicker. There was no real love there but a rather odd affection. Even though Renly seemed to find more time spent in the arms of Margaery’s brother Loras, they were rather protective of each other, even though it was their families that arranged the marriage, trying to cover up the mutual scandals the three of them created. 

“It's beautiful. Mind you we are not in King’s Landing. Given the fact that she wouldn’t have had access to tutors and masters, she is beyond talented.” Margaery snapped, crossing her arms and digging her nails into her skin. Petyr studied her face, during his business dealings with Renly, he had never truly seen Margaery angry. She always put on the perfect facade, a dedicated wife who followed her husband’s lead but it was clear that being in The North was getting under her skin. 

“My apologies. I had forgotten how much they meant to you.” The apology was sincere and Petyr did not comment on it. He watched as Renly reached out and patted her gently. She pursed her lips but nodded, accepting his apology silently. “Perhaps we should thank Mr. Baelish for allowing us to join him tonight? Instead of staying back at the hotel in boredom?” 

“It is my pleasure.” Petyr cooed and he couldn’t help but notice how Renly rolled his eyes. He would not consider the man a friend, rather an unfortunate business acquaintance and he knew the feeling was mutual. He turned his gaze back to the symphony, taking in the lead cellist. Before he had read the program, spotting the name of the musician, he would have pinged her immediately by her bright red hair and graceful demeanor. 

Sansa Stark. 

“It is rather tragic what happened to the Starks. If I’m honest. My brother Robert had been fond of them before, well, everything.” Renly added, not taking his gaze off of Margaery. The comment was not for him and he knew that. It was an old wound that would never heal and Petyr did not miss the way her fingers moved to touch her wrist, the words she kept hidden behind elegant jewelries and long sleeves. “But, it looks like they are doing well enough.”

“A talented Northern cellist isn’t going to be enough to bring the Starks fortune back or their reputation.” Petyr interjected, knowing that it was not going to win him points with neither Renly nor Margaery but he cared little. It was his box and they were his guests, if they grew weary of his company, they could simply find their way back to the hotel.

The Killer

So I was hanging out with some friends last night, and for whatever reason, we got onto the subject of whether or not we sleep with the bedroom door closed. Apparently it's safer in case of fires? But it turns out that most of my friends keep their bedroom door closed because of concerns about The Killer, aka, a person breaking into their house at night with the express intention of murdering them.

For the purposes of this poll, "I share a house/apartment" is for situations where you have your own bedroom, but there are other people living with you; "I share a bedroom" is for situations where there is another person sleeping in the same room.
