well to summarize

Look Who’s Inside Again - Bo Burnham TW for some minor depictions of gore (zombies and burn injuries) Groda has to deal with the consequences of her actions. White Eyes unfortunately also has to deal with that.

#ITS A LOT MORE COMPLICATED THAN THAT AND GRODA IS A VERY COMPLICATED CHARACTER #BUT I HAVE CHRONIC 'NEED TO BE FUNNY ABT IT' DISEASE #to ACTUALLY give a rundown: Groda was the monarch of a kingdom where she had to succeed her parents after their untimely passing #she was inexperienced and henceforth Really Bad At Everything #over time more and more people would turn their backs on the queen with talk of overthrowing her #and often much ~worse~ consequences as well #and of course that freaked her the fuck out for a lot of reasons!!!#so what else do you do when you're kind of backed into a corner and potentially going to die very soon? summon an old god of course!#side note: she probably would not have actually done this had she understood everything thats actually up with the Wither #its very seldomly documented as a whole because most people who saw it were very much Not Alive for long after in previous civilizations #she kind of just acted on impulse and was like “oh so if I bring this guy back to the overworld its gonna make a lot of my problems go away #kill or be killed type beat yknow #and i guess she wasnt wrong!!! but also that created a myriad of new problems later down the line #she really never knew it would have destroyed the whole surrounding area. let alone who knows how much else #when all that destruction started she moved what little of those who still followed her underground while everything blew over #which did not happen for many. many more years. and made them kinda shit outta luck! humans cant live underground forever after all #a lot of problems in its own right from that #so after a while she kind of just turned her back on what little of her dying civilization was left completely in order to save her own ski #Groda is a magic user (as were many high status individuals of her era) and is very proficient in her skills #so as you do when this kind of thing goes down. she tried for a WHILE to essentially stop the movement of time for her own body #a sort of conditional immortality #and she did succeed eventually! after everything and everyone else had died off she still remained on top. she won in her mind #a lot of the side effects of her experimentation resulted in the zombies we see in this day and age. reanimated dead #the warden too which is technically also reanimated dead but in a much more frankenstein esq way. Now with more sculk!#she'd essentially roam the earth alone for the next few thousand years bearing the consequences of her actions and spiraling further down #up until the era of the modern players (Steve Alex etc.) where she would make her presence known once more #wow thats a lot anyway AS FOR WHITE EYES #she's a victim of the Wither just as much as most other people in the world were. no less in the same kingdom #by all accounts she should have been dead just as much so as the neighbors that once lived by her side. but that didnt quite happen #the Wither seemingly foreseeing something had other plans for her
