If these guys are Pthumerian, why don't they appear in the Chalice Dungeons?

Don't know where else to post this, here goes nothing
>be me 30 yo, live with my younger brother
>hook up with this girl, 25 yo, waitress
>we often meet at my house because she dislikes her family and doesn't want me to be "uncomfortable"
>I don't mind at first, sex is great, I even take showers and leave my laptop on, have nothing to hide other than some raimiposting in /tv/
>after serious thought, decide to ask her if she wants to be my gf, 5 months later
>she doesn't reply right away, shrug it off and tell her it's fine
>I plan a 1-month vacation to see my mother who lives in a different nearby country
>tell her I do this every year so she won't be seeing me for a full month
>a few days before I leave, she agrees to be my gf
>feel great bc she's my first gf (she doesn't know that though)
>while on vacation, decide to stay a little longer and delay my return
>my gf brings up that this would mean we both miss the chance to be together for Valentine's day
>I tell her it's just a date... but she insists on it + "I miss u bae" texts etc. (1st red flag?)
>tell her she can book a flight and stay with me for a week, we can fly back home together
>she says she doesn't have enough money... (2nd red flag, I know)
>feel manipulated, but whatever, I book her flight, she stays for a week
>at the time I thought it was a great idea because she gets to travel to a new place and meet my family and friends

>only thing she's paying for are basically clothes and a bunch of other shit she buys at the mall
>we go back home
>one day, she needs to do some kind of paperwork on my computer
>tell her it's ok, I take a shower while she's at it
>come out of the shower, she asks me "what is this folder?"

The question of why Frodo didn’t use Gandalf’s eagles to fly directly to Mount Doom is a common one among Lord of the Rings fans. Several reasons explain this:

Sauron’s Watchful Eye: Sauron’s forces, including the Nazgûl on their fell beasts, patrolled the skies. Flying directly into Mordor would have been suicidal, as the eagles would have been spotted and intercepted. The whole point of Frodo’s journey was secrecy, which a stealthy ground approach allowed.

The Ring’s Corruption: The One Ring’s power grows stronger near Mount Doom. If an eagle carried Frodo, or worse, bore the Ring itself, there’s a risk the Ring’s influence could corrupt the eagle or Frodo could succumb faster, potentially leading to disaster. Even Gandalf and Galadriel feared handling the Ring directly.

Eagles as Independent Beings: In Tolkien’s lore, the eagles, led by Gwaihir, are not mere taxis. They’re proud, sentient creatures serving Manwë, a Vala. They intervene in extreme circumstances (e.g., rescuing Gandalf or Frodo after the Ring’s destruction) but don’t meddle in mortal quests unless absolutely necessary. Asking them to fly into Mordor’s heart would be an overreach.

Narrative & Thematic Purpose: Tolkien’s story emphasizes the humble, grueling journey of ordinary hobbits against overwhelming evil. A quick eagle flight would undermine the themes of perseverance, sacrifice, and fellowship. The quest’s success hinges on Frodo and Sam’s resilience, not a deus ex machina.

Logistical Risks: Mount Doom was an active volcano, surrounded by toxic fumes and chaotic terrain. Landing there safely, even for eagles, would be perilous, and escaping after dropping the Ring would be uncertain.

In short, secrecy, the Ring’s danger, the eagles’ autonomy, & Tolkien’s storytelling choices made a ground journey the only viable option. The eagles’ role at the end—rescuing Frodo and Sam—fits their limited, divine-intervention-like purpose in the narrative.

Shouldn't the pictures on Killing Game route Eito's route have been monstrous to reflect how he saw everybody?

>WotC creates problem cards because they are shit at card design
>they eventually ban some of the cancer (that they created)
>redditors clap their hands together and preorder another case The Blacked Onions Limited Edition Secret Lair (foil)
What's this strategy called? Battered Housewife-style business?

Why did Eito ally with the Special Defense Unit against V'exhness in Eva's route?

Disagree, but I think you're on the right track. The real problem is
>most of the cast has no story, participation in the conflict, or character arc
>one character per story arc (the clown and the zombie, respectively) has any focus or plot progression
Like the reveals of the clown and the zombie have been identical. Set up their backstory in the ending credits song (UP, friends in low places) and then have an entire episode related to "WOW I CAN'T BELIEVE THE SONG SPOILED IT FOR US AND WE NEVER REALIZED IT". And that's it. That's the series. If they do a third season, then that formula will be repeated, they'll have a third character and then an ending credit song and an episode that is just that ending credit song only now without obtusification. It's all a formula, there is no other substance to it beyond that.
