I DID THIS AS A STUDY OF HOW ABBY HOWARD DID THE SLIGHT CHANGES FOR EACH PRINCESS AND IT MADE ME LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH MORE. LIKE SHE DID SUCH GOOD WORK DEPICTING FEMININE RAGE AND POWER. AAAAA
I'm sorry but Grian's last stand!!! hello??!?!?
My man took on a 3v1 and was fucking WINNING. He lowered all 3 of them by so much! He alone in that fight dropped Scott from 35 to 12 hearts and Gem from 49 down to 5 (+10 for killing Grian) (I've not seen Impulse's ep yet).
But like?? yes King pop OFF
He even fought until his shield BROKE, fighting till the very last minute!!
Say what you want about this man and his easy flightiness with alliances when they begin to break apart, but this man had a mission and he fucking delivered on it and we stan a committed man
He managed to hold his own against a very good PVP player and he fucking owned it
The tragedy of it? He knew he wasn't going to win. Of course he wouldn't against the best PVP player in the server, a previous winner, and Impulse who consistently performs well in these games. He was surrounded, taking and blocking hits from all directions, throwing himself into the fray when he could have just walked away and waited for a better moment. But no, taking and giving swing after swing, fighting until the very wood of his shield splinters and breaks. He wasn't expecting to win, he could never win with how low his hearts were, but he knew he could bring them part of the way down with him. He just knew Gem and the Scots couldn't be left with their abundance of hearts, and my man sacrificed himself to make sure other players had a fighting chance.
Without him, Gem probably would have won with her stacked hearts
I hope the community milks the ever-loving shit out of this moment
i love how bill cipher is an unreliable narrator in "the book of bill" but like. in the opposite way we usually have them. he wants you to believe he's a villain who has no remorse for what he does or attachment to the people he uses when that clearly is not the case. (spoilers below)
he does seem to express some kind of. Feeling. about destroying his home dimension. i wouldn't exactly describe it as guilt or sadness but there IS something to it other than "haha, flat shapes are losers". based on his recount of the events, he just wanted everyone else to see what he did, but it ended in disaster. the fact that he keeps the only other thing left from the event and his drunk call for his mom shows that he misses his home, no matter how much he says it was holding him back. he (indirectly) calls himself a monster for what he did, but it seems to me that he only became a monster after seeing the horrors that was the destruction of his world.
not to mention his strange relationship with stanford. bill could have easily killed stanford for his "betrayal" on multiple occasions (and even more easily gotten away with it) but he could only bring himself to threaten doing so and gave stanford three days to continue doing his bidding. no matter how you look at it, bill is attached to stanford in some (very twisted) way.
i just find it funny that a living two-dimensional shape sees himself as a two-dimensional villain, despite his ability to see the third dimension.
i NEED orym to fail a wis save and see his family. looking up at him with lifeless eyes asking "why did you leave us? how could you let this happen?" confirming every fear he's had since their deaths and reaffirming his survivors guilt and self sacrificial trait to a fault. I need him to be shell shocked, looking at the ghosts of his past knowing this this cant be real, knowing that they would never blame him, but it just hurts because its everything hes been scared of for so long. I need him to BREAK I NEED TO SEE ORYM CRY AND RAGE AND SCREAM AND LOSE IT ROR OROR RO O RO R ORO O ROR
No one touches me I'm just so utterly emotional about the fact that Quackity invited Cellbit to his passion project and now Cellbit invited Quackity to HIS passion project.
Like holy shit, a few months ago none of those people knew each other and look at them now making fucking international travels to meet and support each other
