I just finished binging The Gods are Bastards and I highly recommend it. It's set in a 'late Old West'/industrial fantasy world where the 'age of adventures' is widely considered to have ended a century ago. It follows the eight-person Class of 1182 at the Unseen University at Last Rock, an invitation-only college headed by the greatest archmage ever to live (possibly excluding dragons), Professor Arachne Tellwyrn, absolute bitch and Enlightenment philosopher. School field trips include "this town is falling apart with internecine violence, fix it" and "the werewolves around this slightly-cursed city are howling every night, figured out why and fix it". This is normal at the ULR.

The world has a bunch of interesting religious and physical peculiarities keeping the magic embedded into the world pretty thoroughly. Like the frontier that the Old West covered is not just plains occupied by Indians, it's the Golden Sea, a literally-trackless, unmappable infinite prairie where the only reliable directions are "uphill is further in, downhill is further out", and no way to predict where along the frontier you'll pop out. Even time warps; at one point the Class of 1182 meet and fight a smilodon. (A similar thing happens in the forested Deep Wild, where lives Naiya the elder goddess of nature.) There's still natives - the plains elves live primarily within or around the edges of the Golden Sea, and have a native-like culture. And an army of horse nomads once escaped into it and raided the entire frontier for a decade before they got worn down by attrition.

The main cast, Class of 1182:

Trissiny Avelea: Hand of Avei, i.e. the world's sole paladin of the goddess of justice, war, and feminism. Orphan raised by the Avenist church, intelligent and extensively educated in war and law, but initially very sheltered. Spends most of the story expanding her range, learning to think along other lines, use other methods of problem-solving than combat, and inhabit other perspectives. (She was 13 before anyone reassured her that being heterosexual wasn't a mental disorder.)

Princess Zaruda Carmelita Xingyu Sameera Meredith Punaji, "Ruda" to everyone at school. Princess and presumptive heir to the pirate kingdom of Punaji. Like her entire family, cursed "to drink and never be drunk", meaning she's the only student exempt from ULR's dry campus. Incredibly stereotypical, except when she chooses not to be. Extremely competent politician and swordfighter, but least scary member of her class.

Teal Falconer: heiress to Falconer Industries, manufacturers of the best and most common enchanted carriages (her father is essentially Henry Ford). Host to the archdemon Vadrieny, youngest of the daughters of Elilial, goddess of cunning and Hell, and sole survivor. Teal is a butch lesbian bard, an extremely committed pacifist, and managed to prevent herself and Vadrieny exploding when she was possessed by the power of love and acceptance. Vadrieny nonetheless lost all her memories.

Shaeine nur Ashaele d’zin Awarrion: youngest daughter of the drow Matriarch of House Awarrion, which produces the diplomats for the city of Tar'naris, a drow city which recently allied with the Tiraan Empire. Shaeine is a priestess of the 'upper-tunnel' drow goddess Themynra, goddess of judgment, and a trained diplomat like all her family. (As opposed to Scyllith, elder goddess of light, beauty, and cruelty, creator of Hell, who the 'lower-tunnel' drow worship and Themynra's worshipers keep bottled up away from the surface.)

Juniper: dryad, youngest of Naiya's daughters. Extremely hot, extremely dangerous, extremely difficult to kill, and even more extremely unwise to kill, because Naiya would take issue with her murderer and everyone else within about a half-mile. Knows almost nothing about civilization except how it tastes (kinda like pork), but she's here to learn. By the end of her freshman year, she has let more sexual partners live than all other dryads put together. Complete sweetheart.

Fross: pixie, the tiny, completely inexhaustible granddaughters of Naiya. Probably the smartest pixie to ever live, due to her wild talent that allowed her to eat fey energy and turn it into intellect and arcane energy instead of just enhancing her fey gifts. Absolutely fascinated by civilization and has read everything she could find about how it works before the first day of classes. Also a complete sweetheart.

Tobias Caine: Hand of Omnu, paladin of the god of life, the sun, and agriculture. Skilled in Sun Style martial arts, a philosophically-pacifist Omnist style; also skilled in being the mom friend. Like Triss, orphan raised by his church, but his temple was in the big city so he's a lot less isolated. Quietly gay, which is probably frustrating since the only other guy in his year is his brother in all but name.

Gabriel Arquin: half-hethelax demon, which means he could be thrown off a mountain and he wouldn't even sprain an ankle. Pathologically bad at thinking before he speaks, at least initially. Nice guy once he starts to cool off his hothead. Gets a major promotion at the end of freshman year which I won't spoil.

Non-Students:

Eserite Bishop Antonio Darling: Currently the representative to the Universal Church of the Pantheon from the church of Eserion, god of thieves and subtlety. Formerly Boss 'Sweet', head of the Thieves' Guild. Everybody's friend and model believer in Eserite theology, whose first dictum is "all systems are corrupt". Handed over High Priest duties to Boss 'Tricks' and became Bishop instead to pursue some personal political and covert agendas.

Professor Arachne Tellwyrn: archmage of archmages, absolute asshole, professor of history, political science, and philosophy. Philosophically opposed to having chill but will sometimes attempt it for practical reasons. Doesn't know where she was born, and interrogated every extant god about it before she settled down to found the University. Committed deicide once; everyone agrees that he fucking had it coming.

Joseph P. Jenkins: The Sarasio Kid, greatest wandslinger in the world. Walking stereotype of a polite, well-mannered roving hero. Never misses. Almost never loses a hand of poker. High-functioning autistic savant who literally perceives the entire world as data and can compute all the math required for impossibly-good trick shots in his head instantly.

Also featuring: Zanzayed the Blue, notorious fop and wastrel of a dragon, who has a three-millennium feud with Arachne which is almost indistinguishable from a close friendship. Avenist Bishop Basra Syrinx, expert duelist, fantastic political operator, and complete sociopath. Archpope Justinian of the Universal Church, who apparently sincerely desires to elevate all of humanity (and probably other sapients) to divinity and yet is among the most contemptibly hateable pieces of shit ever to grace the page. Principia Locke, tag 'Keys', inscrutable con-artist and possibly the best thief in the world. Jenny Everywhere, world-shifting adventurer and favored employee of Vesk the god of bards. (And unlike all her other open-source appearances, actually well-used by the story.) Brother Ingvar, Huntsman of Shaath, unwilling prophet. Duchess Ravana Madouri, who coup'd her father and brother at the age of 17 and successfully framed them for the treason they had committed but concealed.

Battle of Daylily Good vs. Evil vs. France

Forsaken Awaits execution. Moments before he is sentenced to death, the Devil's Hands burst into the village green, rescuing their leader.

WAR HAS COME TO DAYLILY!

French forces cross the Merrimack river as Commonwealth forces arrive in the town, following Witchfinder-Mayor Bateman's declaration of martial law. Commonwealth forces clash with French forces and Barley's militia near the mill.

Bateman has been declared emergency ruler of Daylily by the Common Wealth.

France has declared Pastor John Hawke as their ruler of Daylily.

The clash suddenly stops. As a massive earthquake envelops the town. The sky darkens. A ritual has been made in the center of the town via the sacrifice of the Goat Militia forces. The Goats are reborn as demons and engage in combat with French and Commonwealth forces.

France retreats to Beadwood.

Commonwealth forces are overrun by the demons and massacred. except for the last true warrior of God, Ezekiel Bateman. Bateman makes his last stand at the mill bridge.

Ashael Cruggot escapes the fighting and seeks asylum from the king of the Puckwudgies. Him and the Puckwudgies escape to Prussia via boat.

Daylily has become part of the Kingdom of Hell on Earth, as demonic forces destroy both armies, overrunning Daylily.

Forsaken has become commander of all mortal forces of Hell on Earth, however in truth he is a puppet of the true masterminds. The witches Lively Palmer and Repent Gage are ascended to demonhood, as co-rulers of the Kingdom of Hell on Earth, serving as agents of Satan himself.

Lively and Repent have fooled the town from day one.

[charismaticsage]

Michael Burnham, a black woman in sci fi (not in cgi or makeup playing an alien) had a man promise to protect her. Because she’s loved and cherished and deserves to be protected. I will never be over seeing black women on the receiving end of these romantic declarations it does my heart SUCH GOOD.

Idk if other people are mad about the episode but I’m thrilled!

Sometimes, especially if you feel things intensely, you need to recognize that you need time to grow or to figure out your feelings/self. They're broken up rn but I don’t see this as a final thing at all. Michael has a hard time forming connections and, seemingly, an even harder time letting go. I absolutely think she was in the right to give herself time to not only process all the stuff happening but to evaluate whether or not she feels she can grow past the trauma in their relationship. I didn’t like Ash trying to guilt her but I think it makes sense with the desperation he was showing and has shown previously when it comes to Michael. He needs time to grow and actually process the monumental shit that’s happened to him/he’s been a part of and the nature of his new existence in the weird liminal space he exists in as a kind of, and excuse the phrasing here, sci-fi Frankenstein’s Creature of a person. Codependency in interpersonal is a hell of a thing to have to try to unlearn but I believe in him. I firmly believe they’re going to be okay and this isn’t the end of them romantically. Can’t wait to see next week’s episode and how this post ages!

Ok, now I really am gonna attempt writing some fic cause this episode was just too much!
