speculation

Into TRY now, and mine father is a bit offended at some lack of continuity, especially when it comes to the silly bits, but he also made the comment that if Zel knows "how to use long lost technologies, such as how to use a sextant, having a complete set of burglary tools, knowing to play guitar when none else exists; there's a whole bunch of things that he does..." then he must have been around for a while.

I said that meant that Rezo was ancient, and he came right back with "Rezo is dead", which makes me think he kinda missed my point. Still, he has one too. He knows so much about things that no one else does, and all this information was probably gleaned from Rezo - or at least, most of it - but it doesn't seem like it's something he would learn in just a year or two. The flashbacks from the first series show him only a little younger, which kinda goes against that, though, unless you consider--

Right, adding to the list, he knows about bombs (from Rezo, he says), and how to shoot guns...

Dad: "He knows about firearms, things that haven't been in that part of the world for over a thousand years, if ever."

I'm having this discussion with him as I write this, which should explain the above interjection.

Now, Eris says that Rezo left her ten years before, which might be taken as the point when he turns to the dark side, as it were. But then there's also something that Zel says: "He's probably both my grandfather and my great grandfather." Not 'or', not 'I don't know which', but 'I think both', which is pretty damn messed up, if you ask me. Any way you look at it, there's serious incest going on for that to happen - either father-daughter (or mother-son) or uncle-niece (or aunt-nephew). It's not removed enough for cousins. Given what Rezo becomes, I'm inclined to think it's father-daughter incest (ewww) which would be even more possible if she were raised away from him - and as we've already seen, he wears time well. Maybe he wears it really well and has been around for ages and ages, which would allow my father his idea as well.

So maybe, just maybe, somehow Rezo has been alive for over a thousand years, and so has Zelgadis, which would make two people in the group who are much more than they initially seem.

Or maybe Rezo's just powerful enough to go past the barrier.

Or maybe there's no connection at all and we're trying to read too much into something.

Whatever.

Most of these just made me laugh SO hard.

one more meme

Because this one deserves its own post.

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.

I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.

I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.

We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.

I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.

I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.

I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.

I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.

We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.

I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.

I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.

I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.

I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.

I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.

I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didn’t have to always deal with society hating me.

I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.

I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.

Repost this if you believe homophobia is wrong.
