Being an Epithet Erased fan gets harder and harder with every passing day.

Why am I only one who thinks Jello is stupid for drawing his traumatized pyrophobic character with a lit molotov cocktail?

Oh boi its her birthday!

Happy Birthday

Lorelai Blyndeff (18th October)

Epithet Erased

It’s “haha let’s hit Lorelai”

Jello has a problem where outside the main series he flip flops between treating Lorelai with respect as a complex character and “oh let’s hit her with a pipe”

It also feeds into the idea that Molly should just hurt people. Like I get people like the trope of “cute character who goes ballistic” but with Molly it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Am I the only one who didn’t like this short?

Here’s the thing, Lorelai isn’t evil. In fact, on the last episode of Jello’s playthrough of “Later Alligator” one of the questions he was asked was everyone’s dnd alignment. Ignoring the fact despite Jello making a show about words he ignored the definition of “chaotic” and somehow got the alignments of characters from his own show wrong. He did say out loud “Is Lorelai evil?” He never answered or gave her alignment.

Is she a good person? Not really. But her end goal was just to hang out with Giovanni. She didn’t want to steal a child’s power nor is she a member of terrorist organization.

She did kidnap Naven but despite her claims of it being for extorting money, she never talked about it again. Even though she could have genuinely threatened Naven to get money from him all she cared about was getting the attention of the boy who actually cared about her feelings.

Another post brings up how when Lorelai had “won” when Molly had briefly given up. Lorelai talked about Molly joining her to hang out with Giovanni.

Lorelai cares about Molly but she’s too broken to do what she has to as the big sister. We know Lorelai has the capacity to do good, Molly has memories of them being happy together.

People love Lorelai because she CAN change, that she has the capability to grow up and become a better person. There is joy to be found in a character moving forward and developing as a series progresses. Zuko from Avatar comes to mind as a similar character who did awful things but had to struggle and fight so that they can be better. Prison of Plastic is the beginning of Lorelai’s character arc, not the end.

Quick genuine question for people who like lorelai: why? I don't mean it in a rude way, but genuinely, why?

I know she can be redeemed at some point, she can change, but I still despise her and never understood why people love her so much. I agree that she's a well written character, but I would've never seen her as a character anyone would have as a favorite. She has become one of the characters where whenever I see anything about her I get unreasonably angry. I wanna know why people love her, and if people love her as a person or just because she's well written. I know, I know, I shouldn't be surprised that an evil character, is infact, evil. and I'm not surprised, I just don't like evil characters, I hate them because they're evil, that's the point.

Interesting thing that I noted from Prison of Plastic is only Lorelai talked about having friends from her previous school.

I think to add more sadness to the current state of the Blyndeff sisters relationship is that when their mom was still alive Lorelai was Molly’s only friend. So it hurts Molly even more that after the loss of their mother Lorelai isn’t helping or pulling her weight.

Some people talk about giving their favorite characters trauma.

I want to see Giovanni tested. I want him to question his entire world view and all of his actions. I want him in the pits of despair and for him to know that the only one he has to blame is himself.

After watching the season finale of the Fairly Odd Parents Reboot it made me realize just how similar these two are.

So much power in their hands but too broken to find peace.

Had a random thought.

Giovanni and Molly had their own version of that beautiful sound.

What other songs would you like to see Epithet characters sing as a duet?

[burst-of-brilliance]

Just had a silly-ish thought.

AU where Zora’s parents aren’t brutally murdered so instead of a bounty hunting terrorist she follows in her parent’s foot steps and becomes an archaeologist.

But here’s the twist:

Zora’s still as horrifyingly powerful as her canon self.

I’m not sure how she’d use her epithet in archaeology but the idea of her having a relatively normal career but having the powers of a time god is funny to me.

Actually what would make it funnier is if a (relatively) peaceful Zora was stronger than canon version.

I think if Martin had been the one to die instead of Calliope. Molly would be the sibling who wouldn’t be working, but not for the reasons you think.

Prison of Plastic says Calliope had planned out the girls lives extensively so it would make sense she wouldn’t want Molly to skip out on school, risking her educational future.

But Lorelai’s 17, she’s old enough to have a part time job so it would make sense Calliope would have her working for experience and to fill out her resume.

Calliope would still try to do as much as possible by herself so that the plans she has for her girls’ future could still be fulfilled but it would make sense to have Lorelai contribute as the older sister.

I think with Molly’s worrying nature she would try and offer to work but would be denied, being told she needs to focus on school.

The interesting thing is if I go through Jello’s tumblr I can’t seem to actually find the post… so I’m not sure if he changed his mind and deleted it or tumblr is acting up.
