Meta: The Search For Magiq Super Topic

Fun fact in the vein of full transparency!!

Sometimes I get to know what’s happening with the narrative in advance, but most of the time I don’t! Which means I just get to be extra nervous for sweet babies Theo and Port every time Eaves posts and the fact that answers are literally sitting three feet away but are unavailable to me is excruciating!!! that’s all, happy monday folks

Yikes, I just imagined that, and my only question is how do you keep from running over and shaking him by the shoulders?

I just now saw the last two months of this thread and need you to know, @Robert, that I voluntarily read an American Heritage Dictionary cover to cover when I was 11. (Yeah. I may have leaned a lot more into my inner Thornie as a kid.)

And also! As much as I am worried for them, it also brings me so much joy to see Port growing up into such a brave, caring person and overcoming the things that happened with the Silver. :heart: Out of curiosity, has Port ever taken the Guide? I’m wondering what guild she’d end up in…

With Port’s protective streak, I’d make a wager at Ebengard.

The dance is called “Morituri te Salutant” from Black Label Movement.

Lots of “what the heck” and a small section that sounded like the beginning of Spirit in the Sky on loop somewhere in the middle.

And during the school performance this morning, apparently a few children had to go to the lobby because they were crying. :colewat:

“Morituri te Salutant” translates in roman to “those who are about to die, salute you” and was a phrase that the ancient gladiators would proclaim in the colosseum. This work has layering commentary about how violence functions in our world. What’s glorified by the masses? What’s not?

Based on their website description I can imagine it’s maybe not the most child-friendly.
Based on your description it sounds like my favorite kind of performance.

This is your own fault for putting Eaves there. He was the face of the Mountaineers for so long, we’re not taking any chances. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Unspoken plot twist: all of Theo’s doggo sounds translate to Theoden-speak. :doge:

So… Rasia. I know it’s a Finnish word for a small box, but Google says it is also an actual Russian name meaning “well-spoken.” (Before this search, all I knew in Russian was how to say “I’m a whale!”)

So I’m thinking the new digs are in Russia, but there is a slight chance they are in Finland. Or maybe I’m reading too much into it, and it’s simply a pretty name?

I mean, I have a Scottish name, one of my friends has a Greek one and we both live in England, while two of my Swedish friends have German names and one has an American name so it’s kind of all over the shop! But that’s an interesting theory too, I like it :blossom:
