Well look at it from their perspective... Humans are on and individual level worse at everything than members of the elder races (barring heroes) and their two claims to fame as far as I can see are inventing necromancy and being the favored servants of the Dark Gods.

Yeah, when you really look at it, it becomes clear that humans were meant to be force of destruction and would have been great and might as one, but by going against the natural order they've doomed themselves to utter mediocrity as a species.

If it is brought up again in a fairly blatantly insulting way though we could counter with something along the lines of:

"Ah, see, you're thinking the wrong way. You gotta aim waaaaayy higher. I'm talking divine levels high. Merge yourself with a god and take another look, gives you new perspective. It's how I did it."

"and before you try this at home, make sure you have another god who can launder all that power for you, otherwise you'd just blow yourself up, and that'd just be a damn shoddy job for someone who allegedly got advice from me. "

Someone needs to make a meme out of this. You know the 'that's how winning is done' one.

So, to be clear on how deep @Omegahugger managed to cut, I did an experiment whereby I pasted the descriptions to my girlfriend and asked her to pick which thing I shipped based on these descriptions, and she correctly identified me in the Mathilde/Oswald camp*.

Like, god damn Omegahugger, unveiling someone's soul like that is just RUDE.

*She would like it to be known that she is not a sucker for that kind of story at all.

You want to be headpatted by Kragg the Grim

Fuck yes, head pats are the reason for my existence! :lol:
*more seriously*:

You would have shipped MathildeXAbel, but felt that the age gap was too large.

Also, you know, Abel being dead and all.

Pretty much, yes. Also, that is a killer photo for Roswita.

I mean, aren't the best romances like that?
Omegahugger said:
You think ultimate divine and arcane power is useless if you don't also have a slightly horrified peer to show it off to. Also, you probably use weed killer in your gardening
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
That is the point of ultimate power, yes. Why else would you want it?
Omegahugger said:
You can build a fully seaworthy ship out of nothing but a couple of planks and a shared gaze, and will do so at a moments notice.

You would be surprised how effective it can be.
Omegahugger said:
You know you shouldn't be at this point, but you are still occasionally shocked at the levels shippers can take literally anything
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
Not so much shocked as disappointed, really. There's so much more they could do.

You signed the contract with the devil yourself. That you underestimated the consequence thereoff is not my fault~

But what about ShyishXDhar @Omegahugger ?

What will come of their forbidden love!
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
ShyishXDhar is not forbidden in any actually progressive countries, so they'll probably move to one of those places as soon as possible.

Whenever I hear stories like that, I am reminded of how great a tragedy it was that Vlad and Isabella's Necromantic Movement failed to get traction in the wider Empire...

You know, one way to solve ship battles like this is with OT3's.

So what you're saying is that when we figure out the Ulgu tongs to use other winds, we should start with Shyish. Well, Gretel will be around for quite a while anyways, so that's good I guess. Sleeping on a pile of treasures is, admittedly, very sexy.

What Your Favourite Divided Loyalties Ship Says About You
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
Great work, but I find a serious lack of representation here:
You're either a monsterfucker, or like star-crossed lovers.
Or both.
You probably like those long-standing office frenemies.
You're a sane human being.
You really like paying your taxes and just keep having fish trying to jump your boat.
You'd like to take part in rebuilding of the dwarven race.
You hate the very idea of having to write papers.
You have very high ambition and even higher tolerance for bullshit.
You find a small boi caring for a large boi adorable.
You adore those obnoxiously lovey-dovey elderly couples, who seem to have never left the stage of infatuation.
 
Incidentally, in preparation for "WYFDLSSAY" I ran an informal survey amongst semi-randomly selected voters, just to make sure I didn't miss any big and obvious pairings that would need representation.

It was by no means statistically sound, but it did yield some interesting results. MathildeXBelegar and PanoramiaXMathilde were both much more popular than I anticipated, and KraggXThorek was seemingly visible only to those with enlightened shipping goggles. But much more surprisingly to me was that, out of my entire semi-random selection, not a single person named MathildeXAnton as one of their ships. Not even as something they kinda shipped or "something they would've liked to see if it weren't for factor X", nothing.

So I spent this entire weekend dreading that the entirety of MathildeXAnton, one of the last few pre-Karak ships remaining, had gone extinct without any of us noticing. So thank you, @bookworm702, for proving that there are at least some of you left out there. Biding their time until their next big chance.

Also, there was this pairing which only showed up once in the entire survey and I'm pretty sure is only actively shipped by that one person which I had to cut for space, but it is perfect enough that it needs to be preserved for prosperity:
Your disinterest in making hard choices is matched only by your insane lust for power, and you think 'restraint' is a thing for puny mortals over whomst you will tower.
 
Adding a few more

You believe in keeping your friends close, like under the same roof (it saves times on visits)

You like the dynamic of MathildeXAbel, but Belegar has something he had not, A GREAT BIG BUSHY BEARD! (Also a pulse).

You are a tidy person, you have 2 dragons in a story they might as well go together, you are not sure whats up their respective cloacas (and no one is brave enough to go check) but ambiguous genders have never stopped you before.

A dangerous, mysterious and yet polite man has always awakened something you.
You are also a furry but you don't let that define you.

Thread madness is especially weird today.

Idk at what point we should be concerned this becomes a derail btw. Hopefully this doesnt get too out of hand.
 
Abel damn it, I only now realise that MathildeXJohann should've been "Your favourite Pokémon Town is Goldenrod"...

I actually thought of putting in MathildeXRanald with the note "You like watching Omegahugger get aneurisms", but it felt a bit too mean...
(also, the list was getting bloated as is)

Poor Wilhelmina. I guess the 'middle-aged female invisibility effect' applies in questshipland, too.

If Wilhelmina had showed up in the survey, she would've been included on the list.

But she didn't and I got to showcase my adopted children instead.

You know, I feel almost left out from not being in this survey. Not that I would have offered anything special except the Eshin friend and maybe Heidi...
 
There's also Mathilde x Cadaeth (Eonir ambassador), where you're latching on to the somewhat overly detailed description of Cadaeth's outfit:
BoneyM said:
Sitting in a low tree fork and smiling mischievously at the hummingbird investigating the flower in her hair is an Elf, and you very quickly have some uncharitable ideas as to how this unorthodox alliance might have been possible, as the neckline of her light green dress dips as low as the side slits climb high, and her bare feet don't so much hint as they do shout that the dress could be the only garment upon her person. But even as your mundane senses pass judgement, your magical senses tell a very different story - at first you thought her invisible to them, but then you realized that the physical being before you is merely the anchorpoint of a soul that fills the dimensional pocket more thoroughly than the air around you, interwoven in every tree and beast and blade of grass, and the only place she isn't is in a polite distance around your person.

And that apparently she's doing the same:

"Welcome to my home away from home, Grey One," she says, running her eyes over your robes. "Thank you for heeding my invitation."

I mean, it's got more to it than some of the rest of these ships, and it's not like species or even basic humanoid form is stopping a lot of y'all.

No. People keep making this mistake. The elves predate the Winds of Magic. The elves were built to manipulate whatever pre-magic energies that the Old Ones made available though the geomantic web.

Fair enough, still WAAAAAGh energy is.... odd enough that I can see the elves not quite being built to be able to understand it like they would with other such energies.
