SO funny that the only explanation for why Aric stabbed Rhian is, in Japeth's words, "because [Rhian] said things about [his and Aric's] friendship" (the full actual quote is "because you said things! About him and me! About our friendship!"). Which is such a funny way of phrasing it because that could mean LITERALLY anything. Soman why would you phrase it like that. genuinely

The only other elaboration we get on the stabbing ever is right after the first line and it's vague as to what it's actually talking about, which is where Rhian says "Because he was a monster / a sadist with no soul" (which. yeah lmao), but that could be either "he stabbed me because he was a monster" OR "I said those things because he was a monster", and the rest of the line supports the second interpretation, so we just???? don't know what made aric do it??????? This is the single most influential event in the series it literally doubled the series' length what do you MEAN there's only ever two lines about it????? ? ? ??? arbed prequel when hello

#unadulterated rambling btw. it IS 2am #seriously. what the fuck happened in Arbed. how did we get here #im not against the interpretation that rhian said one (1) wrong thing and aric got him for it #while that is slightly out of character for him in my opinion (at least by pre-book 2 standards). yeah he would #japeth girl come back what was it. japeth. please #NOT liking what japeth knowing what was said implies btw. but that's neither here nor there #this post is also missing the crucial interpretation that rhian ii is not too fond of gay people. and thats. thats what he said #also! the other really funny bit of information revealed about arbed in this chapter!#they put arics expulsion to a VOTE. they made the ENTIRE STUDENT POPULATION VOTE ON IT #that is. so incredibly funny. 498 to 1 vote. can you fucking imagine being japeth in that situation. its so joever #why would they do that “hm this student tried to kill someone. this is a perfect opportunity to exercise democratic values”#do yall see why i wanted the arbed prequel this shits funny as hell #aric once again being the most unserious character in the series. 10 year streak #sge #tsfgae #school for good and evil #the school for good and evil #sfgae #japethposting #the school of good and evil #aricposting #getting too much post mileage lately that last tag has. unacceptable
