Orias Augustus Sparkle is the perfect name for my season 10 villain.

In religious texts, Orias is a high-ranking demon responsible for teaching astrology and the study of stars. I can’t think of a better name.

In his final god form (Elder Alicorn,) He is known as Orias Morningstar. In my story, Celestia and Luna are treated as Elder Alicorns because of their long age.

Cadence, Flurry, and Twilight are all alicorns, yes, but not elder alicorns. Orias boosted himself to the status of elder faster in his transformation because, after the final war, he absorbs all the other twelve essences from each of his fallen vessels—Some of those vessels being alicorns.

However, this transformation wasn’t perfect for Orias. It was a forced amalgamation, with Orias simultaneously compelling all twelve essences into his body. Once a living creature, each essence retained its biases and was aware of Orias’s manipulation. This, along with Celestia’s final assault, sets the stage for Orias’s eventual downfall.

And the biggest kick to his ego was that he felt like he cheated death and won.

In contrast to Twilight, Orias is a character filled with sadness and pity, a stark reflection of Twilight’s opposite. He embodies the actual antithesis of Twilight in every way, serving as a chilling reminder of the perils of a life devoid of love.

Twilight, growing up, was always raised with love; she had parents who could guide her in the right direction, but Orias did not—his parents left him at Archmage Starswirl’s doorstep and seemingly abandoned him.

Although not evil, this Starswirl did not understand how to be a parent; he was a mage for their kingdom. He was sadly unable to prevent Orias from seeking power.

And then, because Orias sought the darkness fostered by Grogar, he became too powerful for the royal family to put him down for good—they had no choice but to attempt a sealing on him, even if it got botched and he went to Equestria rather than his intended destination.

…Oopsie poopsies.

Ah, cool! Sorry I didn’t notice your reply sooner.
I shall check up on the dude’s stuff

Just discovered that the Greek dub of Tell Your Tale moved from Greece to Cyprus in season 2. That’s at least the second dub that changed countries between seasons (the Latin American Spanish dub moved from Mexico to Colombia).

Hopefully this mean an end to the carbon fiber fad.

I cam definitely see Twilight as a “burger connoisseur”

Hopefully isn’t referring to the Australian term for gonorrhea (Not okay, if that’s the case… though the AC/DC song based on that condition does rock)

Cruisers and Destroyers are kind of the same except that one is generally for command and communications while the other is for direct action.

Generally they’re around the same size nowadays in real life but for some reason in sci-fi it’s not uncommon for one to outsize the other by a ridiculous amount.

As like a wolf compared to a rhino sized different and stuff…

Dear designers: STAPH USING REAL MILITARY WARSHIP CLASSIFICATION IF YOU’RE JUST GONNA IGNORE IT ALL TOGETHER!

(God dammit, I double posted yet again! Apologies for clogging up this place. Man, why do I always comment when the threads are totally dead?)

Titanic was sinking today.

I was having a think about BG3s impressive rogues gallery.

It’s a testament to Larian’s superb character design that in a game with psychopathic vampire lords, Disney villian devils, unstable demigods, and other irredeemable monsters…the most hated character would be a douchbag gnome with virtually no real impact on the game.

I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to punch a fictional character more.

I’ve always been meaning to ask, where’s your avatar from? It’s always so hypnotic looking at your gif of a profile picture of the skeleton throwing his own head to the camera and I wonder what made you choose it as your profile picture?
