#gallicea

[halcyon-autumn]

I've seen a lot of posts talking about Gallicea and Cassandra as siblings, but not many talking about that fact that Sol is cannonically Cassandra's brother. I can't stop thinking about Sol - her big brother who let Cassandra's own followers betray her and never tried to help. He officiated Cassandra's marriage and then swallowed up her wife's domain. Even now, his followers are menacing her single remaining cleric, trying to get her kicked out of school and convert her - which, by the way, would kill Cassandra. I hope Fantasy High Senior year is just "we're level 20 and we're hunting Sol for sport."

Ok, so I have been doing a deep dive into Greek mythology. We all know Cassandra has obvious connections to the priestess but I don't know if I have seen anyone talking about Gallicea (pardon my spelling, I simply can’t). There is a story about a figure called galetea and, basically, she is persued by polyphemus (yes that polyphemus) and he kills her lover and she transforms her lover into a river spirit. This is also the name given to a statue that the sculpter fell in love with and came to life. This season has focused so much on reformation and new forms and honestly its just interesting to me. I don’t really know where this thought is going but I find it fascinating considering everything

Thoughts on Tracker?

How I feel about this character

TRACKER!!! I went through all of season one and most of season two feeling pretty neutral about her and then brennan decided to just COME for me in the last couple episodes of the season. anytime you’ve got a lycanthrope character you introduce this really interesting symbology with the question of what is the “feral” side that they’re repressing, and the implication at the end there that what she’s repressing is her anger at playing second fiddle to her protagonist girlfriend? holy shit. interesting on a character level and a narrative level AND a dnd level! not to mention the season ending on this note of “i’m going to go to Fallinel and figure out what went wrong with the church of Gallicea and if it can be fixed”....oh my god. what a GOOD quest for her. what an IMPORTANT quest to me. AND she was so clutch for them to have along this whole time!! can you imagine if they didn’t have that twilight sanctuary???? she was the MVP in that last battle!!!! she’s GOOD!!!! stan tracker, is what i’m saying. 

All the people I ship romantically with this character

kristen. it’s just kristen. i love them. 

My non-romantic OTP for this character

RAGH, holy shit. from “check it out, i’m gay!” to this idea that the two of them bond over being the “random friends” who get brought along on this grand adventure and are sort-of part of the bad kids without REALLY being part of it and so they’re just out there being supportive but also being a little bit like “what are we doing here” and then eventually a the end deciding to go on an adventure TOGETHER? holy shit. i LOVE that. 

My unpopular opinion about this character

i know that it’s like the nature of dnd that npcs will always be the background/reflection of/narrative foils to the PCs but like. Can We Get Some Tracker Character Development Please. maybe i will just have to do it in fic. 

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

like i said in my kristen ask, an on-screen trackerbees finale conversation!!!!!!! also just more tracker conversations in general, i’m SO curious about what her relationship with the other bad kids might be like! her and gorgug could have SUCH a good and cool relationship, i want to see them TALK!

every extracurricular club Riz joined has had some plot relevance so here’s an increasingly unhinged list of guesses about how Sprak LeFevre’s aviation club will show up

The big bad can fly and the bad kids will have to use Sprak’s airplane in the final battle

Someone will spread the rage crystals via plane, and Sprak will help the Bad Kids figure out who’s doing it

Brennan just thought that ‘Sprak LeFevre’ was a funny name and wanted to use it

The weather patterns are about to get funky because of the rage god/Sol/Gallicea and Sprak will provide a clue about wind changes or something idk

There’s an invisible hideout in the sky above Elmville

Elmville is actually shaped like a magic symbol of rage and the bad kids will need to fly over the city to realize it

Magic plane? Is this anything?

Chungledown Bim is going to steal Sprak’s plane to finally shit in Fabian’s mouth

Fantasy High Characters and the song I think they'd listen to the most off the new Taylor Swift album

Kristen: okay early Trackerbees Kristen would listen to But Daddy I Love Him SO much and probably post lyrics on instagram. Judgemental small town with religious overtones opposed to a relationship? Just like her fr. Post-breakup Kristen blasts So Long London SO LOUD that the rest of Mordred Manor starts to have weird pavlovian responses to any song with the same chords.

Sandra Lynn: Sandra Lynn would not make it past Fortnight on the album I fear she would hear one song about an affair and turn off her phone. Sorry Sandra Lynn I love you queen but she would not have a good emotional time with this ablum

Jawbone: Jawbone WOULD love Fortnight but he doesn't pay attention to anything but the chorus and sort of assumes it's about the game. Occupational hazard of working with youths.

Riz: I truly beleive Riz was a Dateline kid and he'd like a cool song about going to Florida because you murdered someone. It's got burying bodies in swamps and stuff! Florence + The Machine is there! Great song for murder-obsessed teens.

Fig: I Can Do It With a Broken Heart because, she claims, "it's got a great beat!" (she misses Ayda)

Sklonda: Just pick whatever song you think people would listen to during sex and put it here. We know next to nothing about Sklonda/Gorthalax but I assume the sex is good so fill in the blank.

Kipperlilly: Kipperlilly was actually listening to Who's Afraid of Little Old Me on airpods when she stabbed Buddy Dawn and Brennan just didn't mention it. She's like 'oh an angry song for a short person that people don't want at parties? that's me.' Yes good question she WOULD sing the asylum lyric without any irony

Rueben: Rueben HATES Taylor Swift he DETESTS her no one can bring her up around him or he will go on a RANT but catch him crying to loml and thinking about Wanda Childa

Tracker: Nara walks on in her listening to How Did It End? and is like "oh why are you crying???" and Tracker has to lie REAL FAST and say she's thinking about Gallicea (sorry Nara)

Gorgug: All of the Bad Kids band together to keep him from hearing a single song off this album so that he doesn't think about Zelda and start crying.

Aelwyn: imgonnagetyouback because she loves to sing about violence

Adaine: Adaine listens to the first eight seconds of The Prophecy over and over against her will because Aelwyn keeps sending it to her under various guises being like "did this happen? did you see this? is this what the old elven people want?" it's like Elven Oracle rickrolling. To be clear - Adaine hates this song.

Fabian: I think Fabian would hear ONE sad song, think about the immense loneliness he feels every day, and throw his special edition vinyl out the window like a frisbee.

Gilear: Gilear accidentally downloaded an Enya album

Arthur Aguefort: this one is hard to explain but I think Aguefort would choose Clara Bow as a karaoke song despite it being one of the worst potential karaoke songs on the album. This is deliberate on his part. Also I think he'd be a real Stevie Nicks girlie.

Feel free to comment/argue/tell me your thoughts!
