paradoxGentleman posted:Just reread the entirety of King of Swords, to get my bearings properly. Pretty sure an angel outside of its armour is significantly more vulnerable - if the armour is destroyed the angel is just forced into the void but if their flame form is killed they have to reincarnate. White Chain has been questioning her loyalties and motivation every which way. It's an extension of how she's acted for the entire story, to my eyes - where among other angels she asserts her individuality and identity, but among mortals she tries to put up a united front with her brothers. Now the head of her order has teamed up with a rival order, pushing her to control and even betray the one person who actually cares about her and trying to quash that same identity. That's pretty much what Vigilant Gaze's role in this chapter has been - to help her decide for herself who she really is and what she wants to fight for. With Juggernaut Star serving as the model for what she might become if she stayed on the course she was on.

The thing is they can't interact with the world without a body. What White Chain did was a very unusual and reckless thing. She was able to keep herself intact because she was still connected to her body and extending herself out of it but this is apparently supposed to be a very risky thing to do. Angels can't normally exist outside the void without a physical body, as I understand it. The bodies were actually built by humans if I remember it right to bring the angels back to throne after Zoss threw/killed them all out.

paradoxGentleman posted:Just reread the entirety of King of Swords, to get my bearings properly. White Chain is basically going through an identity crisis, and has been for who knows how long. Because her identity as an angel is tied so deeply to her loyalty to someone who turned out to be an omnicidal maniac, and tied into her gender identity issues, it only makes sense that she's changing her mind so much. She's figuring things out, but they don't always stick because she still has millennia-old bad habits ingrained in her mind. Also I think it's because angels need the shell to stay grounded to physical reality. Like, when White Chain leaves her body entirely, she's just a ghost in the void again, like when she was punished by those root knights before. When she was doing cool angel stuff, she was still connected to the body by a little wispy umbilical. So the risk is that someone either severs that or attacks the body directly, in which case she'd just be stuck in another plane until someone made her a new one.

We've been re-watching Avatar now that it's on Netflix, and I've come to the conclusion that Uncle Iroh is the most Royal character in the show, by far.

The bit earlier on in the chapter where Vigilant Gaze commented on White Chain's fighting style from the sidelines was also very DBZ, it was great.

It seems to me the most basic vulnerability of Ki-Rata is preventing your opponent from breathing. Whether by punching them real hard in the lungs or using magic to create a vacuum around them or just envelop them in a bunch of smoke.

The scene where everyone's walking home, miserable, while Ray's just yammering on about whatever's happening in his life, and then he finds fifty dollars on the ground, is definitely a Royalty moment.

Of course, he got his son killed in a pointless bloody war before he got to that point. Which I suppose also fits with backstories in this universe.

Royalty is when you can win something in your sleep, but don't. e: Royalty is also when you break the rules with a lesson you learned from your long dead wife. e2: Royalty is also when you coordinate non-work plans using work resources i.e. communicating via the closed captioning to porn.

So I don't interract with the fandom often so I don't know if this question is taboo or not, but is there any word on what's been going on with the updates recently? From an original schedule of "Every Tuesday, Thursday and sometimes at the weekends" it's become once per week over the past few months, and this week looks to have been missed entirely. Is Abbadon busy with something or other?
