Only if you value that. Sharing everything and being completely open doesn't appear to eradicate the individual-- Timmain is still Timmain, even though she communicates that way. But it doesn't seem important to her to not share everything. Except... when it comes to answering people's questions in Final Quest. In that situation, she is so obscure! Or it could also be triggered by life experiences; that once a person has experienced a certain set of events, their survival skill/magical skill/etc - has reached a point that triggers Recognition. For example, perhaps Cutter would not have Recognized Leetah immediately, if he walked out of the troll cave and the Sun Village was right there, just three feet away. Perhaps it was the entire experience that helped shape Cutter's eligibility for Recognition. That survival, endurance, and strength, provided the point that made it trigger when he saw Leetah, so that he could have that strong, powerful, cub in Ember; and Leetah, with her magical abilities, was what helped trigger Suntop (or whatever he goes by these days). - Multi-Facets wrote:
- Sunstream needs a soulname because he's the link. He is now connected to every elf in existence, it seems. At the very least, their presence is probably like perpetual tinnitus in the back of his mind. To avoid getting lost in them, he needs to remember that at the core, he's Klynn. That name sums up Sunstream and everything that's part of who he is: Wolfrider, Sun Villager, psychic, lifemate, father, son, brother, student (and maybe teacher someday?).
I like that. ___________________________________________________ Signature image by Embala. <3 | |

| (Wow, 42 pages of discussion on one issue!)
Im not going back through the whole discussion, but Im wondering if anyone else thought of this:
Its always bugged me that Recognition was created for procreation, but Cutter and Skywise would never be able to procreate, so why would it even be possible for them to recognize?
With the current issue and the triangle of Skywise-Timmain-Cutter, and the implication by Timmain that she IS (or has become, since he found her) Cutter, and the banter about Skywise feeling a deep longing fulfilled, the bigs of discussion via Timmain-Skywise about statements that only Cutter-Skywise had discussed... has Timmain always been planned as a female Cutter to allow Skywise a counterpart to fulfil his Recognition with Cutter? ___________________________________________________ | |

| I'm sure that's what they intend us to think. I'm also sure that this has not even remotely "always been planned". | |

| I'm sure it hasn't either. Maybe since Kings-- but not since the original quest. I also don't think it's that strange to say that there wa da recognition glitch and two guys connected instead of two girls. Things happen. I always (until recently) thought it seemed like an accidental exchange in the heat of the moment. But I guess now the story is that it was full on recognition. | |

Wasn't Leetah pretty confused about the fact that two guys had recognized? ___________________________________________________ "When you do what you love best, you shine where you love."Come play the Who Am I game! | |

| I always thought that what happened between Skywise and Cutter was more akin to what happened between Winnowill and Rayek - that the bond that creates the soul-brother/soul-sister relationship is a soul-Recognition without any reproductive urge. That seemed possible with the intense telepathic bonds the High Ones used to share without any accompanying reproduction.
Now it seems that Winnowill and Rayek's bond is maybe meant to be a precursor to… whatever Timmain and Cutter supposedly are. And Skywise is now one of Cutter's "Recognized mates" even though they never acted like lifemates in any sense during OQ, SABM, KOBW, but always like brothers. I miss that relationship. Skywise was more his own person back in the day.
(p.s. actually, for the longest time I thought that Cutter and Skywise had voluntarily exchanged soulnames because of the depth of their brotherly bond, before that was revealed to be incorrect. I'm still kind of disappointed over that one!)

| Yeah, I miss when Cutter and Skywise were the "Brothers in all but blood" rather than "Recognized mates." I guess Wendy wanted to make it very clear that yes, Skywise and Cutter ARE having sex, and that wouldn't be too brotherly of them, would it? ..or would it, in Elfquest? No, don't answer that. I don't want to know. | |

| I think it would have been a lot cooler if they had voluntarily exchanged soul names... but I'm willing to roll with the idea that it happened naturally. I think Skywise has, for a while now, been depicted as sort of a life mate to Cutter... maybe not Leetah status, but still important to him. I think I had that impression since maybe kings? I dunno -- I think it has evolved. Like-- they started off as really good friends who occasionally banged each other-- and, thanks to a series of disturbing experiences, came to value each other on an even deeper level.
I don't really see them as life mates-- but definitely mates of some sort...

...the real question is, can these uber horny elves be pals with someone and not sleep together? | |

See, this is how I would have liked it. Because then, rather than someone just "Recognizing" your soul name - sure that makes a bond - but to be the one willingly sharing it with someone important in your life, seems a lot more powerful to me (emotionally as a reader) than, "Oh crap, you know my Soul Name. Cool. We're bros." ___________________________________________________ Signature image by Embala. <3 | |

I bet most fans would agree. If Skywise had this emptiness, which only could be filled by shagging "Cutter with lady-parts", shouldn't Cutter feel the same pangs, too? Where is his "Skywise with lady-parts"? Don't say Leetah, that's as stupid as "Tam and Timmain is the same". Hmm, if Cutter and Timmain were at least a little bit alike, this whole thing wouldn't feel so random :/ ___________________________________________________ It's a dolphin!

| Oh god. I was typing on my iphone. It wasn't a typo. I wrote "banged each other"-- but the phone decided to change word to bated. And it apparently changed "they" to "the" for no reason! That pisses me off! | |

| So... if Cutter and Skywise Recognized... Could that be the connection if perhaps Skywise and Timmain Recognize... With the ending of Final Quest 11.
The whole one soul thing?

| Those are the thoughts that came to me when I was trying to not-awaken this morning:
So, Timmain knows Cutter soulname. Could she have learned it through Skywise during their lovemaking? Stole it from him? I don't really think so but...
She knows Cutter soulname. What if it's that knowledge, more than anything, that'll make her able to sort of channel his spirit after he dies? Cutter dies, his poor spirit believes he can rest at last but woooosh! Timmain absorbs it and uses it to become Cutter the same way she was able to become a wolf... Because she can be whatever she likes... And she knows Tam is what they need for their journeys to the stars? Poor Timmain-Cutter will be chief forever and ever? And Cutter will be like that sad ghost that's following my spider-cursor, forever chained to Timmain-souls-eater?
Not sure that adds much to what has already been said. | |
