Analyzing "Demon in the Wood" (Graphic Novel) - Part 3

(Part 1 and Part 2)

Get ready because things are about to get sooo much worse. 🎶🎶

Eryk: "Girl you're talking to one"

Facts.

Apparently when Aleksander was young he wasn't attracted to power but kindness. Or one could say to the underdog. A friendship with Lev could benefit his own position to camp and that of his mother's. But he just didn't like bullies.

Petition...for...little...Aleksander...to...give...a...lecture...to...all...of...Ravka...about...the...reality...and... horrific...treatment...of...the...Grisha ✍️

Noted.

To change the subject, HE'S SO CARING 🥹🥹

Ouch. That hurt. Sylvi already knows the truth 😔

They basically describe the Little Palace.🥹

The Little Palace that was made of dark wood, stone floors and golden domes. It had plenty of fireplaces for the Grisha to sit around and even in their bedrooms. It had a large space of land in the front for the Grisha to walk or practice. And had the same people. Most of the time the Grisha saw familiar faces there and even made friends.

The dark evil lord doesn't care about the otkazat'sya. Yeah....

She knooowsss 🎶🎶

She looks so beautiful though. Those Morozova genes serve 🫴

One of the best moments in the Grishaverse is here.

“Deep Blue like the True Sea” (- DitW)

“Blue sky”, he said. (- Ruin and Rising)

“The pure, buttery color of sunlight...” (- DitW)

‘He wanted to turn his face to the sun and feel it warm him.’ (- Rule of Wolves)

Alina was his favorite color. She represented the thing that made him feel happy and warm.

This now has me like...

I really wish we had seen more of his mischievous side.

*cries in capital letters*

Look at my boy being all protective 🥺

Aleksander, I need you to stop making me sad for ONCE.

He really was ready to take that responsibility and take care of them.

No stop! The fear and terror in his eyes!! 😭😭

This image will never leave my head...

"As long as this heart beats, you keep fighting."

Until the moment Alina stabbed him, he really never stopped fighting. No matter the obstacle or pain he went through.

He needs:

1) a hug

2) a warm blanket

3) a cup of hot chocolate

4) a shoulder to cry on

The Grisha have lived all their lives on the run. Hiding in fear. This was obviously the last straw for the Ulle. At some point the grief, pain and anger becomes too much and you want revenge. He wanted those people to see what it feels like to lose a child.

He looks so sad. He had a hope that maybe things would get better but they only got worse. Betrayed by someone he thought a friend, witnessed the desperation Grisha live in and saw what his powers provoke to others.

That story fucked up even the side characters. Little Sylvi lost her only sister and friend. 😔

Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it. 👏🛐

Look how far he came and look what he accomplished. Now look me in the eye and tell me he was selfish. I'm waiting.

[munsons-maiden]

I'm so scared that now that we get the book Eddie really won't be back and all the hints and teases were bc of the book bc Joe is on board with that and what if he meant that? 😭

I see where this is coming from but I absolutely don't think that the book means Eddie won't return

Look at the other characters who got books so far (novels, not graphic novels):

Suspicious Minds - Dr Brenner

Darkness On The Edge Of Town - El and Hopper

Runaway Max - Max

Rebel Robin - Robin

Lucas On The Line - Lucas

There's a very clear pattern here: every single one of these characters is an important recurring character who's been in at least 2 seasons.

And all of these books, including Eddie's, feature said recurring character's backstory. Even if we ignore the first two books and only focus on Runaway Max, Rebel Robin and Lucas On The Line, it's clear that these books offer a deep-dive into each of these main characters' pasts.

Which places Eddie once more on the same level as the recurring main characters of the season.

I've always said that Eddie is a main character based on this post by @strangerthings4theories which perfectly sums up the differences between main characters and supporting characters and from which we can clearly see that Eddie is the new main character introduced this season (and not Argyle or Dmitri etc) PLUS by the level of marketing and promo Eddie got before and after the season aired (Netflix even comissioning an artist to create an "Alive in the Upside Down poster" and so so SO much more) and the way Joe was doing more promo than the actors playing recurring characters combined.

If anything, this book is another big reason to believe that Eddie will return.

Which brings me to my second point.

2. Eddie is not just a fan favorite; he's THE fan favorite. Which makes him Netflix's personal favorite, I suppose. An Eddie novel will bring a lot of money - and imagine how much more money he'll bring them if he returns on screen, which yeah a book is nice but we want him back on screen. Alive and thriving. And they know that, Shawn Levi has said so himself (remember that "We know you love him, so do we, we know you want him back, we heard you"-interview on that red carpet).

Which means that:

3. They KNOW what they have with him, and they've been relentlessly showing us that with said promo, special comissioned posters, etc. They've been doing that looong after Vol 2 had aired: Oh and remember that crop circle?

What I'm trying to say is, even if Joe's winks and I-know-something-you-don't-know smirks were because he already knew there'd be a novel and that he'd be involved in that novel (btw he's the only actor involved in the creation of his character's novel) that still doesn't mean he doesn't know more (he said himself that he knew stuff about ST5 in that interview with Jamie, which in itself is super sus because actors leaving huge popular shows like ST usually don't know what'll happen in the next season if they're not part of it anymore. To put it in relation - Jenna Ortega, who played a fan favorite on Netflix's You for two seasons wasn't even told how the season would end beforehand so she wouldn't be able to spoil anything, and You isn't as big as ST.)

And all that Eddie promo Netflix dropped...for a novel? I don't think that makes sense, considering the novels are a nice little treat on the side but the actual business is the season, the things on screen, not on a printed page.

4. The book's release date is set nicely right between seasons. Screams "hey remember that guy, hm? Hm? ;)" for the general public. Means, keeping the hype going for the general public.

5. The author of the book is Caitlin Schneiderhan, who's one of the writers of ST4. No other ST novel has been written by a ST writer. My thoughts on the matter are summarized here.

6. And finally, the topic of the book will make neither his return nor a spin-off for him redundant because we learn about his past but only some of it (it'll be set in his first senior year in 1984 and likely explain what happened for him to be held back the first time).

So in conclusion,

Eddie will be back and him getting his own novel is only further reason to believe it.

who’s ur fav fnaf character!!

WELL... ive been crazy over william afton since he was just that one purple sprite in fnaf 2 . so in General my fave is william i know i know kind of a boring answer depending on who you ask but i cant help im weak for stupid old men </3 hes also like the main reason why my special interest has been fnaf for so long 😭 hes just so interesting to me idk BASICALLY i like that purple fuck A Lot so that would be my first answer

as far as animatronics go ive always loved the toys and their designs (nostalgia may or may not also play a part in this) but more specifically i love toy bonnie even if its just because his shade of blue is pretty to me . all the other rabbits hold a special place in my heart too .

and lastly i havent actually read the books in a while aside from the graphic novel versions but my favorite was always charlie i cant really give a compelling reason for this one either i just think shes silly .. shrug :P

sorry these arent very good explanations and also i made this way longer than it needed to be but i hope that answers ur question!! and thanks for asking i will always love talking about fnaf :)

[ai-shiteru-dude]

These are my top 10 boys love manga/comics, if you have any recommendations based on my list I would be grateful 😢

10. The World For Your Smile

I recently read this one, I'm excited to see how it turns out. It's a historical Chinese webtoon with so far light boys love. It's super cute and has an interesting story so far! 👍🏻🥰 It gives me Mo Dao Zu Shi zibes WHICH IS A REALLY GOOD THING, but they are different!

9. SE;Ki

I've been following this story since it first started 😭 Starts off cute then turns sad and 😭 The story just keeps getting more tragic, I hope it will be a happy ending one day! 👍🏼Though the sadness adds to the story and I like that about it. This one has your typical amount of BL 🥰 cute and steamy scenes placed here and there 😂

8. Social Cat

Aaaaaah god this one is so cute. Light BL so far from what I have read (I am behind though) but it's so cute and has a really interesting story. I can't wait to read more 😭🥰👍🏻 precious beans. The art is also really good and the character's personalities are really likable.

7. Love Stage

Still one of my all time favorites even though it hasnt updated much 😭 I consider this to be a more funny and light hearted yaoi manga compared to the other ones I usually read (I READ A LOT OF SAD ONES). It's cute and saucy and it has an anime ♡ I hope it continues one day because I really enjoyed this manga, the art style is so cute and I love Daigo (Shougo) 😂 It has a little drama to it but for the most part it is cute and funny with the uke being an otaku

6. Hana No Mizo Shiru

I read this a long time ago but I remember really enjoying it. It has beautiful art including character design and background design. I like how the characters are doing research in a lab, since I'm a science major myself it makes me happy to see it 😂 The romance is really cute not too rushed or graph🥰 But like everything else I read it's also sad due to past relationships 😭 but not as sad as some others I have read so it is balanced.

5. Acid Town

I love this story so much! Though it isn't for everyone. It is a yakuza gang type story with lots of violence including both male and female "rape scenes". Quotations because you don't see the rape scenes full on, more like a memory but they're still heart breaking to see. It's sad but the plot is really good, in my opinion haha. The art is also really good which just adds on another reason why I love it so much. 😭💙

4. Given

Wow what a surprise another sad one! I somehow always end up loving the stories of characters with tragic pasts, I think it adds something special. I don't think I need to rant and rave about it too much because I think most people have seen this anime and or read the manga and know why it is so amazing! I wont spoil anything but it's really sad and cute? At the same time. I also like this one because it deals with mental health which I think is really important 💙🥰 and the soundtrack is amazing of course 😭👍🏻

3. Ten Count

There is a pattern here haha. Another sad one turned romantic turned sort of kinky? 😂 I also don't need to say much about this one since it is so popular! Can't wait for the anime 😭 I like this one especially because of the psychology involved.

2. Sekaiichi Hatsukoi

Aah, memories. I have been following this manga/anime almost since it came out. It's one of my old time favorites and I don't think anything can completely replace it. 🥰 I love that it has multiple stories that all interconnect and it shows different sides to the relationships. This one is more frustrating than sad because you just want the two characters to be together 😭 Although it is still cute and very romantic (and steamy 🙃). Also the soundtrack is bomb, I am constantly listening to it while I write, draw, or do homework!

1. The Untamed/Mo Dao Zu Shi/Grandmaster of Demon Cultivation

Oh god don't even me get me started on how much I love this anime, graphic novel, novel, and drama! 😢 All of it is perfect! I can't believe I waited so long to get into this! Now it is probably my favorite yaoi/BL series ever 🥰 Even though the drama, anime, and graphic novel are more censored than the original novel, they are all still so good! I haven't finished the novel or graphic novel but I'm greatly enjoying them so far and don't want them to end. It has a tragic back story beautiful characters, developed likable characters, romance, kinky stuff (not my favorite aspect but hey its there), and an interesting plot / universe. I am going to be so depressed once I finish everything! 😭💙
