Fig and Gorgug as suggested by @orions-garden and @lyris-thightanborn (in my inbox)

You are both so correct, these two are the besties and a fantastic duo, absolutely chef kiss. I like to imagine Fig is the kind of friend who is always leaning on or touching her friends, and since Gorgug is a certified “It’s cool ride on my back”, it’s criminal we haven’t had a canon piggyback ride for more Bad Kids

Cat boy consumes me thoughts

Got tired of wanting to have every line look perfect, so I tried to draw something really fast :)

Fabian and Riz as suggested by @piratespencil and Kristen and Gorgug as suggested by @virgil0nther00f

Surprise selfies and music sharing… I feel like if I remember correctly Kristen reacted poorly to Gorgugs music when she was still deep in Helios-town Freshman year (I THINK??) anyways I like to imagine she finds a love for more aggressive music, especially to motivate her workout routine…

this girl i am presenting to u right now has done nothing wrong ever

[imflyingfish]

i want to be clear, i don’t want a “redemption arc” kipperlilly because i hate her for her anger management issues. i don’t want a “redemption arc” kipperlilly because the villainy of her, for me, is in her entitlement.

it’s in her fetishization of riz’s life problems— of his race, his single parent home, his traumatic connection to the season one big bad— and her conceptualizing them as the reason he’s a successful adventurer with a personal relationship with the person running their school, when in reality, he actually just works his ass off.

kip’s faults don’t lie in her unchecked and uncontrolled anger, but in the specifics of the thing that she’s angry about. her life, in her mind (in my read of the character), is too good to be the life of a good adventurer. she has both her parents, she’s financially stable, her parents don’t abuse her like adine’s do her. sure, she has problems, but she doesn’t have the big problems that you get to put in your college essays to prove you’ve overcome adversity.

the actual problem with her worldview is that she thinks riz is able to go on exciting adventures and is able have “friends in high places” because of the fantasy world version of affirmative action or dei— because he’s a goblin with a sad backstory.

which is so mundane in its villainy, but so prevalent in so many real life people. it’s a commentary i appreciate, personally, having experienced that villainy first hand in my life, and it was extremely gratifying, for me, to watch the representation of that worldview be destroyed as quickly as the rat grinders were destroyed.

*this isn’t to say, obviously, that i think klcp defenders are wrong for defending her from her own canon ending (so far), just that i wanted to point out that purely villainous reading of her in the fandom do come from more than just the place of hating her for her inability to manage her anger bc i’ve seen a few posts that had me thinking abt it.
