Hey Val!

So (if you've seen it) what do you think of episode 2?

Here's some thoughts!

GANGLE

When will Gangle know happiness... 

KINGER

Kinger was adorable as always. I like how the others can rely on him when they're feeling emotionally vulnerable. That scene with Ragatha and her self-doubt, and how Kinger reassures her? I'm glad he has these moments of clarity. Old man even tries to help Pomni, even if he's bad at it. He's so well intentioned. <3

JAX

Jax is a terrible person. He was already very bad before, but somehow got worse. No care for his companions (Pomni and Gangle mostly), no care for the NPCs (he was very eager to see them die horribly). There's some indication Jax might have cared about Kaufmo, but overall, his attitude is so dissonant. It's hard to understand what's really going on inside his head.

RAGATHA

I like that Ragatha didn't hold any grudges over Pomni abandoning her in episode 1. Ragatha is just so sweet. Constantly worrying for Pomni's well being, being considerate enough to try to cheer up Jax of all people. She makes a huge difference in this group, like a glue that keeps everyone together.

GUMMIGOO

LOVED Gummigoo. Yeah I wasn't prepared for him. I didn't know what to expect of him (he looked like a serious bad guy type?), but what we got was so good. Loves his two gummy gator friends (wants to preserve their minds from the weight of self-awareness). His connection to Pomni, the way they could relate, it was all believable and palpable. Nice guy.

POMNI

Pomni herself was my favorite. Compassionate, empathetic, expressing her thoughts calmly and sincerely. Determined, inventive - trying to find ways to get herself and Gummigoo out of that place. 

I think the fact that she spent most of these two episodes physically separated from everyone else was no coincidence. Pomni was disconnected from them. The dream sequence at the beginning? A reflection of her own doubts and fears. That she's nothing, or that no one in the circus would care if she was gone. So she, either intentionally or by happenstance, distanced herself. 

I'm super happy that the episode ended on a hopeful note. Pomni found that her companions would care for her and remember her, and so it turned her views on her head. She's not alone. She has people that she can rely on.....

KAUFMO

(The Kaufmo funeral was very touching too, especially with Zooble organizing it. I've seen jokes that no one cared much that he died in episode 1, so seeing otherwise was pretty cool.)

FANDOM

I hold no ill will against Caine, and this is coming from someone who really really liked Gummygoo (literally screamed a big NOOO when he poofed). It's a little concerning how feral people are getting about Caine.

CAINE

Speaking of Caine, I need understanding between them, I need it SO bad. He keeps making these little decisions that impact the human characters. Especially Pomni. And he's not even aware of how much it hurts them, or that it's harmful at all!!

The way some of them are so dismissive (Zooble waiting for him to go away), annoyed, or only see Caine as a bot that fixes things when everything goes wrong... it makes me think they've tried to reason with him before, and it didn't work, so now they treat him like the machine he is to them.

As of now, Pomni understands him as much as everyone else does. She's frustrated, she's livid, and she has every reason to want to punch his teeth in. But after episode 2???? Considering how sympathetic Pomni was with Gummigoo, an NPC/AI himself???? I have a little hope that Pomni can actually get through to Caine in the future.

[unlackeyed]

I somehow completely forgot this but Snively is supposed to be like, this extremely badass fighter pilot in Archie, a talent he and his step sister Hope share. Since fans usually think of him as a sneakily self-preserving wimp, it's a tidbit of canon that I love.

I really do think younger fans of SatAM and Archie, and definitely games/IDW fans, forget that this dude was Robotnik's blood nephew and first lieutenant. Like when the big bad was incapacitated, all control of his empire, tech, robots, etc fell to Snively. He wasn't just a "lackey" or "assistant." He was also very smart and very mean. Part of the compelling thing about him being short and skinny and frail looking is that he is also incredibly vindictive, competitive and efficient.

I write him after his villain arc, but listen: IT HAPPENED, lmao.

HELP irl bestie asked how are you and i said terrible as usual and she said oh no all ok

[theloveinc]

Caitie same!! Like post characterization I saw for most bllk guys was them being freaks and deranged and I’m ??? confused

Idk if that’s what you were referring to but this characterization is not at all what I personnally perceived but idk sometimes it feels like it’s just le ahah so I don’t read much fics from the fandom

yes!! and it's like.. don't get me wrong, i def think there's some truth to the whole freak/deranged thing... but it just makes me laugh (ironically) bc... basing their WHOLE personalities after what they're like in-game??? idk................................... where is the real character analysis???

esp for characters like ISAGI (oh man, i have such beef with his portrayals) and barou and ... everyone honestly. cuz like... i totally agree, everything i think about these characters i literally NEVER see mentioned by anyone else, so i have like. given up trying to find anything, too.

but i'm glad, at least, i'm not alone in feeling this way! thank you for telling me <333

Look at him. I would die for him. I would kill for him.

Either way — what bliss.

[thatwavephenomenon]

me: i sure hope the crows are not gonna be solely depicted in veilguard as a brave force who 'fight for all' when they are at their core a criminal organization who is known to buy children to indoctrinate them and turn them into assassins, by putting them in overcrowded warehouses and making them fight for scrapes in order not to starve, to later torture those who reach adulthood to finish their initiations and kill them anyways if they dare to try getting out
