Shadowy Legacy
Nov. 9th, 2020 01:08 pmNot Mentioned Here, but Pashran would get the concept of being trans. Sex is a concept that only matters if you’re actively trying to have an offspring, and they’re aware gender is largely constructed, too. That being said, names are not Male or Female. They’re chosen by concept, not gender. (This is only relevant because of the Tom and Greta analogy.) There's probably been more than one tarukwul for something minor just so someone could transition.
Also apparently Pashu is another language that already exists. I am sure they are very different linguistically, partly because I’m making this up and I’m not a JRR Tolkien linguist.
Link to separate post on Pashu, because otherwise we'll need another Bloody Petals length A/N for this and technically it's not information required to inform the story.
I enjoy the concept of 'found family' but Buffy doesn't do near enough with it. I'm working on doing the whole 'we're all outcasts' with an eye on moving to 'we're all outcasts together'. Buffy couldn't move past the 'let's all hurt each other for the sake of drama' bit. (Which is...happening a bit in GDA, unexpectedly, but they're actually going to do this thing called character growth. I make fun, but Buffy actually did do some stuff with this: S1 Xander is very different to S7 Xander, Willow definitely had a character arc...pretty much everyone had character arcs, which is impressive for TV, but they all spent way more time tearing each other down than being supportive and that's really sad. And typical.)
Given the appearance and some of the behavior, Pashran might be very distantly related to dragons.
Also, RL is super stressful but suddenly it's so much less so.
Main Points:
Buffy/Devil May Cry
Chapter Summary: Giles presents the results of his 'favor' he's doing for Xander. (It's yet more research.)
