So y’all know the classic edge trope of “my blade cannot be sheathed until it has tasted blood”? What if a magic sword that has that requirement, except it’s sort of inverted. A sword that, instead of being inhabited by an evil spirit which once awakened cannot be lulled back to sleep except by blood sacrifice, was inhabited by a benevolent spirit who would not allow the sword to be drawn unless bloodshed were the only possible solution. A sword whose power could never be misused because it would only allow itself to be used in situations where it was justified. What about a Paladin who spends their entire journey fighting with a sheathed sword, incapacitating but never killing or maiming. The party believes that the Paladin has taken an oath of no killing, until they face the big villain. And it is in that moment, and that moment alone, that the sword will allow itself to be drawn.
Idk, this image set my mindwheels a-turning.
But do y’all see the vision?

listen, I'm not even that upset, they're still in the top 10 and I know they can do their job on Sunday, I'm more so annoyed by the FIA and their ability to make everything a clown show. There's 10 cars, all of them doing 1 or 2 push laps, how hard is it to figure out track limits before you put people on the podium?
Fia is a Tarnished called to grace without having first experienced death, which may be something of a rarity. Melina tells us some of Marika's words across 2 different churches, the Third Church and the Church of Pilgrimage:
My Lord, and thy warriors. I divest each of thee of thy grace. With thine eyes dimmed, ye will be driven from the Lands Between. Ye will wage war in a land afar, where ye will live, and die.
Then, after thy death, I will give back what I once claimed. Return to the Lands Between, wage war, and brandish the Elden Ring. Grow strong in the face of death. Warriors of my lord. Lord Godfrey.
That indicates that Tarnished get their Grace back only after dying. The opening cinematic does a little to corroborate this. Hoarah Loux is impaled by arrows, the Dung Eater is being hung, and Gideon Ofnir is in his casket. Goldmask is a little more ambiguous, but given the others are dead, and the way he's sort of splayed out on the ground with his prayer book and other items in disarray around him, it seems like he could have fallen dead abruptly.
Fia is the only one that is unambiguously alive. She is sitting up, actively looking at the sight of Grace, and she tells us she was exiled from home for seeing it. So it's very interesting that she is very devoted to and at peace with death, when she may be one of the few Tarnished to never have died to begin with.
F1 is in literal shambles. It’s only been one race and so much is going on:
- Christian Horner investigation/allegations
- Mohammed Ben Sulayem being investigated
- Jos wants Christian Horner gone
- Jos talking with Toto
- Max to Merc 2025
- Marko saying he won’t stop max if he leaves
wtf is going on
continuously take issue with junior formula not holding itself to the same safety standards as other series because they have teenagers in their cars, if the track is too wet you wave a red, i don’t care. it should never get here because we’ve been here, not too long ago. you have an obligation to these kids and make sure it’s safe for them to race. they need you to make that decision. what is the point?

Hi it's me again and say hello to my kirby oc, Fia 💙
FIA calling George’s kindness and concern ‘cheating’ is fucking infuriating
