THE WAY THEY ARE PLAYING "THE RIVERS TOLD ME LIES" AGAIN, AFTER BLACK AND WHITE HAVE FOUND EACH OTHER AGAIN AND MADE UP, even though the worst is not over they have each other again, they are truly CONNECTED again, just like white hoped when the song played the first time, when he landed in thailand, no clue where or how black was and determined to get back to him

the lyrics over white and black "but the truth has not been told 'cause every corner of these woods is hollow i can't see in the dark", they still have work to do, it is not over

AND THEN – AND FUCKING THEN the scene fucking cuts away from the twins to SEAN when the lyrics are "where are you" when now white has seemingly left sean behind and has lost his connection to white

and then the lyrics "“’cause the rivers told me lies" play - white has told him lies and has only owned up to it because sean found out and now sean doesnt know where white is anymore, in his life, in general

BUT MORE THAN THAT sean is literally looking AT A RIVER as the lyrics “’cause the rivers told me lies" plays, the same river where he and white had their super-jump moment and where white promised sean to do 1 thing he asked for, and the same river where sean got beat up by black, where he got his heart broken – and the same river where he then found white after finding out who he was, when he subsequently asked white to stay by his side but when white refused, asked white to stay away from him, aka where sean got his heart broken a 2nd time

It is THE SAME FUCKING RIVER where he told white “This is where I’m reborn after I go through something terrible”, the same place where he got his heart broken and then where he got it broken again, and is it still the place where he is reborn? Or is it now just the place where he goes through something terrible? Because the river lied to him, it is not a safe space anymore

(AND THEN WE END THE FINALE WITH WHITE AND SEAN AT THE SAME SPOT AT THE RIVER, GETTING THEIR HAPPY ENDING AND SEAN IS FINALLY REBORN AGAIN)

so i am absolutely, positively OBSESSED with led zeppelin. consequently, i know a lot about them, including some questionable, even rancid facts, stories and rumors… however, i will be continuing to pretend that those ‘things’ never happened and everything i romantize and fictionalize about them is indeed the truth. if you choose to try and get in the way of that, i will be terribly disappointed in you and then gently send you on your merry way as i don’t need that kind of negativity in my life thank you very much!

Hey if we went on a quest together, fighting terrible monsters and unearthing ancient secrets, and witnessing sights no other had seen, and at the end of it, you ascended past the limitations of humanity into something greater than any of us could ever fathom, but I was to scared to follow you, would you still love me?

Antagonists

Alright. I know what you’re probably not thinking because it’s somewhat specific. Who’s this worms person, and why are they about to talk about antagonists for a bit? You don’t get an answer. By the way, I’m not an expert. I have no idea what I’m talking about. I’m just an idiot ranting on Tumblr.

I, the aforementioned worms person, love antagonists. Well, most of them. Elias Bouchard can go die. But generally, I really like antagonists. They just have vibes. Good vibes. (Not as in morally correct, most of them aren’t, but you probably get what I mean.) The things a properly good antagonist can add to a story… I don’t know how I was planning on finishing that. But they add lots. Having a good antagonist is just as important as having a good protagonist, regardless of how much thought is put into their character. Take Ursula. She doesn’t have a complex backstory with deep, traumatic reasons for her actions, but damn. She just has some vibes. She properly causes problems, and it takes actual effort to stop her. I haven’t seen The Little Mermaid in years, but I know without a doubt that if I rewatched it now, she would be my favorite. (Unrelated: my phone thinks I’m British. It keeps trying to make my American spelling of words into British words. No. I don’t want another U. It’s fine as it is.)

Anyways, Ursula has a good design too. While protagonists in hero-villain stories can get a bit repetitive after a while regarding their costumes and designs (nothing wrong with that, it’s just true), antagonists tend to have something that just makes them pop, and really reflects their character. And there LOTS of variety among antagonists of all kinds of stories! There’s the incredibly traumatised, completely redeemable ones, and then they’re the entirely unhinged ones. Some of them have actual backstories with motivations that they think are worth their actions, and some are just random doing it because an antagonist was needed. There’s so much variety!

Brief paragraph or two on the distinction between a villain and antagonist. (Please refer again to where I said that I am not an expert in this stuff, and this should not be cited for some important paper or something.) Generally, villains tend to be characters, typically antagonists, though not always, who are morally lacking, or causing huge amounts of damage to something. A lot of the time, I see “villain” being used as a derogatory that labels an antagonist as bad, and removes the need for the people absorbing the media to look further into their character. They can just go “oh this person is bad, good to know I’m done now”. Villain can also be used instead of antagonist in instances where it doesn’t quite fit, but only because of the definition associated with the word. For example in Inferno Squad (Star Wars book), the protagonist is a member of the Empire, and so doesn’t have the most righteous of moral codes. Because she’s in the Empire, the antagonists of the book are rebels, so the term “villain” doesn’t really apply as much, since Just As A Rule Of Star Wars, the rebellion and republic and such just have better morals.

Antagonist refers to a force opposing the protagonist. It doesn’t mean evil, although my options on good and evil are perhaps a rant for another time, it means that the protagonist needs something to go against. It doesn’t mean a sentient being, or even a living thing at all. It can be mental health, societal norms, or a spoon that feels bad in the protagonist’s mouth. It can even be a stressful due date. This has gotten incredibly off track. If you’re still here, deal with it. An antagonist doesn’t have to have questionable morals, or even morals at all.

Now, when referring to sentient antagonists, I would be fine using villain. Key term, would be. Although it is slightly faster to say, people generally have it associated with evil characters, and I don’t like that. I don’t want people to think that I’m calling characters with complicated reasons for their actions evil just because of a dictated set of “correct” morals chosen by society, and shaped through the millennia of human existence, so carefully cultivated and yet so loosely followed. (To be clear, I’m saying facts. But facts don't really mean anything without opinions in place to give people something to do with them. I still think that some things shouldn’t happen, and I think some things are more complicated than moral or not).

Anyways, I love antagonists. They have such a unique view on the worlds around them, and since their story is usually told from the perspective of someone who isn’t meant to really like/understand them, they tend to come off as a little, well. Off. They don’t fit into the way that world is meant to be, because they’re there to cause problems for the protagonist.

But also they can just be incredibly badass and cool without trying, or just have inexplicable vibes(not those Vibes) and I am platonically gay for most of them with some exceptions, regardless of their gender or my current gender. At the end of the day, I am completely unable to describe how I feel about antagonists without dissolving into incomprehensible nonsense or off topic paragraphs. Hello, and welcome to absolute nonsense. I’m Woims, for no particular reason, and you’re watching Disney channel.

(But also screw you Disney why would you get rid of the Owl House)

Finally, some antagonists I don’t like:

Elias Bouchard (the Magnus Archives)

Victor Frankenstein (Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus) (Yes, I know he’s technically the protagonist. No, I don’t care. I despise him with all of my being. If literally anyone asks I will post my spite essay here)

Morrowseer (Wings of Fire)

Those aren’t all of them, just the ones I got off the top of my head.
