i've been trying to remove "i'd rather die" from my vocabulary, which is good for my mental health (i think).

unfortunately this has resulted in me saying the words "i'd rather be chungled down, bim style" to my mother

Ever since it's been confirmed that each person got in their avatar for their similarities I've been mulling it over and here are my thoughts

Paula & Jack Manhattan - both are wildcards and divorced, I also noticed that Paula doesn't really speak about her kids so it could be possible that they both want a better relationship with their kids

Liv & Kingskin - both are criminals but based on their conversation I kinda think they both also feel like they are confined by others expectations of each themselves and that makes them unsure of themselves

Dang & Greg Stocks - since they haven't interacted yet this is more speculatory but I think that they don't feel like they can connect with anyone Greg is a secret agent so having regular friendships are kinda off the table and Dang feels like he can't connect with people because of Rashab

Wendell & Vic Ethanol - both care about their family (in Wendells case its more about what his family thinks of him) and not being satisfied with themselves until they reach their goals

Russell & Jennifer Drips - once again no interaction to go off of but both are kinda lone wolves that can't keep down a relationship

Usha & 3 G13 - both interactions between the two are very different the first one was words of encouragement while the other alluded to more sinister stuff but G13 saying that he wanted people made me think that both want connection with Usha just trying to talk to people (Paula) and G13 trying to get it from highjacking Usha

the range in the bad kids’ weapons is so funny to me bc like. fabian and gorgug both use regular fantasy-esque weapons that fit their class. fig, kristen, and adaine all mainly cast spells. fig and fabian are perhaps a little unconventional, but they’re bards so it still makes sense. and then riz just has A Gun

thank you fantasy high jr year for getting me through finals

[theepitomeofamess]

was thinking about fabian & riz at lunch again & needed to get thoughts out about my darling boy

Fabian thinking he's so much like his father. Fabian seeing Aelwyn & recognizing his mother--beautiful, mean, inebriated, guaranteed to outlive him, maybe kill him--and immediately telling her he loves her. after all, his father proposed to his mother before he knew her name. Fabian wondering why his infatuation faded after she domesticated, after he'd seen the wilds of Leviathan, after he realized how much he was not his father.

Fabian meeting Mazey & Ivy, recognizing his patterns, & deciding to try the soft option. he's not so much like his father, why shouldn't he have something soft, a simple, easy waltz compared to the tango he thought he'd enjoy. He doesn't need to recreate his parent's love story.

Fabian not recognizing for years that he already has. Fabian not recognizing there's already someone who's thrown themself at Fabian's feet in spite of his previous injury to them. Fabian not recognizing the creature of chaos that would rather burn down the world themself than lose him. Fabian not recognizing his anchor to reality, the one who most consistently leads him into what's important, that, between disparate lifespans and their collective pension for barreling head-first into life-threatening situations, he will one day have to learn to live without. Fabian not recognizing that he categorically refuses to think about that.

Fabian not recognizing that he gets the same feeling in his gut from the first time he saw Aelwyn when The Ball starts eating Kalvaxus. Fabian not recognizing that the feral look Riz gets when his eyes slit feels the same as when he watches his Papa take a turn toward violence. Fabian not recognizing how much better it might have been if his parents were best friends before Bill proposed. Fabian not recognizing how much he's like his mother.

we all have to be aware of how perfect the placements of the reactions are, especially when we consider what led to them being scattered. but i personally need to put it all into words to get it out of my brain.

Then we have Fight, represented by an older woman who is a trainer. No longer an active fighter, no longer the fighter, but instead a coach. Not to mention a coach to "Domination" who is terribly undersized and is constantly beaten (assumedly) by self-doubt. She can not actively react and fight self-doubt herself, so instead she coaches and tries. She has been internalized and weakened. She doesn't have the same self-hate as Conrad from the actual Incident, but Elias has pushed his own fight response to the sidelines so hard that had can't fight his own self-esteem issues.

Also fight is perfect for a Noir Trope of the out of work old champion who comes out of retirement. And I LOVE that.

= Spoilers for the newest Episode below =

in episode and in adventuring party they actively talked about the meaning of Freeze hiding as logic. It makes the most sense as Freeze is literally mentioned by Fight as being the one that she got into it with following the Ice Skate Incident. he looked around and feared the idea of ever being in a situation where they could get that hurt. and it all made sense to him. so he becomes logic, he becomes mayor, and he freezes Elias from ever risking a fight like that again.

And that makes perfect sense for Elias, a man that is described to us as someone who has faded into himself. he hasn't had physical contact in so long that the chemicals that come from it have been outlawed in his own mind. no romance, minimal friends (probably more coworkers who barely interact from elias calling the guards companions).

The trope of false identities? CHECK.

Then we have Fawn. Fanny likely didn't have much involvement whatsoever with the Incident but she is suddenly abandoned by her family as they shatter. She then leaves and becomes attached to the Don, a man built on greed but powerful. He is an urge, and thus likely will never disappear. She still has her key, unlike Fight. She is not minimized in power because they likely never saw her as powerful. It is also extremely believable that Elias does turn to Fawn, at least more than he ever would fight.

Also she is obviously the trope of the woman in peril.

But Flight, Flight is my favorite and to be fair that might be because of the tease at the end of the episode. She is Stacey Fakename, a character that we didn't know if they were just a used name by everyone in Mentopolis or a person. Flight is so good at her job that she became a kind of myth. However, Flight has become a thief. She has her key, though I believe she stole it back (unlike Fanny just keeping it). Flight is the unknown, Flight is the surprise event. Stacey, unlike her Sister that blamed herself and her Brother who blamed everyone, likely had the frustration of the event. Elias didn't run, but he could have.

And I'm sure he has since. I think genuinely Fight being the only one without any power or connection to power shows that she became the default non-option to Elias. Freeze became his base as his logic, Flight became an instinct but less intense, and Fawn was always attached to Greed, to Safety, and through that to his Ambition.

Yeah, I love this season and I love these reactions so MUCH.

Image Description: A picture of Markus St. Vincent mid-fall from the sky over Gorgar, surrounded by the wooden shards of his wrecked ship. He wears a red captain's jacket over a hooded tunic, with a golden skull mask covering his face. In one hand he holds his sword, the other reaches up to a shard of wood above him. Above him is positioned the figurehead of his ship, a golden statue of a merman, extending one hand as if he is in song. The positioning of Markus and his figurehead appears to make the figurehead look to be giving the wooden shards to Markus as they both fall. End Description.

Hail her, oh hail her!

Blow high, blow low

And so sail we-
