Headcanon that Fig was just as much of a wonderful nightmare when she was preppy. I think she ordered frappucinos with a pump of every syrup. I think she tried that get the cheerleading coach to shoot her out of a cannon as part of the routine.

gilear is a very funny character, and I get why fig would be obsessed with him, but her relationship with sandra lynn is so much more interesting and it pains me that they dont have nearly as many moments as gilear and fig do. sandra lynns wild past, bobby dawn, being a cool ass ranger, there's so much potential! I know that emily has big respect for mom characters, so I have high hopes for senior year if we ever get one🙏

fig burning through two luck points RIGHT BEFORE they enter the nightmare kings forest just so her friends don't find out she kissed her crush is so fucking real and hilarious and the most 16 year old thing ever

One thing that I hope will come up in Junior Year is the other bad kids’ extended families.

Like I know we learned about Gorgug’s and Fabian’s in Sophmore Year but what about the others?

Does Fig have archdevil relatives??? What about relatives on Sandra Lynn’s side?? Does Kristen have a super cool aunt who is totally rad and accepting???? Does Riz have a grandma with the wildest lore?????

Does Gilear have siblings?!?!?!

I’m fascinated with how this season recontextualized Fig’s greatest fear being a perfect image of herself. It’s not just about feeling inferior to people’s perception of her. It’s also being confronted with a fixed identity. She’s more comfortable being defined by what she isn’t than what she is.

I think FHFY gave me a bad first impression of Emily. As a new viewer it was hard to see what’s her and what’s Fig and what’s intentional or unintentional.

ACOFAF gave me a much better appreciation of Emily. She is incredibly smart and knows her way around the game. I also think her characters are really solid and well thought-out.

I still think Emily sometimes impulsively runs with jokes that slow the scene down, but half the cast in any season is guilty of this. I feel like Emily is really under-appreciated and it bums me out that this fandom ran her off social media

the rat grinders getting whomped because they don't know how actual combat works is exactly what I've been waiting for all season. fabian taking down ivy in one turn bc they have no hp, them grouping up bc they don't know they're not supposed to and getting immediately shit on by adaine, riz's attack of opportunity doing more damage to kipperlilly than her actual attack did to him, gorgug taking down oisin by the end of round 1 bc they didn't protect their wizard, kristen and k2 both bringing all their friends up while keeping themselves strategically hidden bc they know better, riz diving into the lava like it's nothing bc he's a badass, adaine slapping jace's counterspell out of the air, fig tanking that hit from porter and casting that clutch fireball. just. beautiful. iconic. poetic. exactly what the rat grinders deserve after xp grinding for three years instead of actually adventuring. you fucking suck at this game kipperlilly!! you might be high level but you're shit at pvp!!!!!

You gotta hand it to Fig. All of the Bad Kids were given foils this season and they got to decide how much they wanted to engage with that part of the plot. Gorgug only interacted with Mary Ann in passing despite them both being on the Owlbears. Fabian noped out of chatting up Ivy once she crossed a line with Mazey. Riz was so busy that he truly had no time to engage with Kipperlilly even though she's obsessed with him. Kristen interacted a bit with Buddy but spent way more time verbally sparring with Kipperlilly. And Adaine was somewhat interested in Oisin but never overtly acted on it.

But Fig?

She's in Ruben's WALLS. She's in his DREAMS. She's faking her alter emo's death. She's got the Fantasy FBI after her. She's SO SO tiny. No one is doing it like Fig's doing it.
