HI ANON you dont understand I was awake at like 1 am thinking about the main story [insert the 'wants to infodump so bad' image]

spoilers for the newest msq chapters (165-172) and cw for blood/body horror (msq screenshots)

does anyone understand how insane i feel. there's SO much buildup for the main story, even way back in the nalhegrande arc - the Great Wall comes back and its revealed that it was supposed to stop the Otherworld invasion??? Tau'luk sacrifices himself and EVERYONE FORGETS HIM IMMEDIATELY AFTER. That's CRAZY to me (then of course the Mikaboshi and Tau'luk parallels)

The entire purpose of the Otherworlders is to rewrite reality to maintain their presence - they want to be freed from their curse (remember, they're Old As Balls /ref) and SOMEHOW THE CAPTAIN HAS THE SOUL? CORE? OF THE FIRST GOD IN THEM???

my guess is that all the Otherworlders want is to be returned back to their normal state as villagers - but how many years has it been? Can they even go back? Or do they just want revenge on the god that cursed them? ALSO HOW DID THE CAPTAIN GET THIS IN THEM.

Maxwell mentions that Lyria and Vyrn are the ones letting the Captain have the ability to be the Singularity, but if the soul of the 'first god' is within them, then wouldn't that render Lyria and Vyrn useless - granted, Lyria is literally keeping the Captain alive via their soul bond, but what if that never happened? - and Vyrn is just a tiny dragon atm

(I've forgotten what the specifics of the girl in blue/red dragon prophecy thing mentions, but there's SO MANY QUESTIONS I HAVE)

I REALLY want to make a gbf timeline, including the events because ARGHFRGGHFGF WHAT DOES IT MEAN CYGAMES

also i absolutely feel like more people need to read the main story. it makes me lose my mind and gives us so much more context as to why this is happening to us (if you're coming from reading the events, specifically like. the anniversary events) [dadmom i miss you]

anyway i had more thoughts but rn all i can think of is WHERE HELMSMAN. WHERE DID YOU HIDE HIM
