#DELIGHTED. I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT FOR MONTHSSSSS

Squealing and kicking my legs reading your post about the prev gg fic... i bet it'll be great...

teeheehee. the thing about me is i spent seven straight years writing and reading fanfiction about the signless from homestuck, who's a doomed rebel whose family has some of the worst storylines possible.

so when canon owl house is like "this guy was murdered by a terrible emperor," i'm like. interesting! i think that guy had a rebel family made up largely of older witches who remembered pre-empire days and the same-aged rebellious 20-year-olds who supported them and worked on secret anarchy. and i think all of those people loved him like a son or a brother or a lover (non-traditional-relationship found family polycule RIGHTS) and that he would have done anything for them and that he was putting himself in constant danger doing anti-empire things right under the emperor's nose. and then i think that the emperor killed him but what matters MORE is that the emperor killed his entire family too out of rage and used the deaths to kickstart a wave of political fascism DIRECTLY contradicting gg's values. and i think that in the end the world was a thousand times worse than it was when the wild witches started the work because sometimes that's how things go. sometimes you don't win and sometimes every horrible thing Does happen.

and i think the love mattered still. i think darius is the only one left who still remembers all of this and that he and eber are the only ones left to carry on what his mentor was doing, in terms of protecting people from the inside.

darius in wwaitsoal has said a lot of things about how his coven has the most opportunities because he leads it in a really hands-off way because he's lazy. which in some ways has been a bad thing (capitalism is hell. darius regulate your shit) but in other ways... well. if there happen to be wild witches with fake coven sigils in darius's or eberwolf's covens, they surely don't know anything about THAT, right?

#and also all of this makes me crazier about darius as The Only One Left. eber knows the truth but wasnt actively there#eber MAY however have been involved in anti-empire stuff with the bat queen and various beasts#the scene with darius being present for the coven sigil removal at the end of watching and dreaming JIVED SO WELL WITH THIS THAT I'M#DELIGHTED.
