I kinda want to write a fic about after defeating the Wyrm the gang goes back to Nockmaar for some reason and jade finds General Kael’s room that actually looks homely (cause think this man had 15 kids) like there’s kids toys on the floor a wooden piller with heights marked into it and stuff like that

Idk but I’m too dyslexic to even write this properly but it’s a fun idea

I’ve reworked the Andowyne map they provided in the Willow RPG to include all the spots mentioned in the new Disney+ series (and to draw it in my own style, because, why not). Now you can follow the gang all the way to the Immemorial City and not take the long(-ish?) route through the Voluptuous Valley, but climb instead all the way into Nockmar. BTW, it is valid both the movie and the tv show canon.

No one ever expects anything from Airk

First thing we need to establish here is that Kit’s love language is Words of Affirmation and Physical Touch while Airk’s is Quality Time and Acts of Service. you can have a different opinion, but just so you know, I am right. 

Airk loved Madmartigan in a completely different way that Kit does. And in turn he hates Mads leaving in a completely different way that Kit does as well. 

Kit looked up to Madmartigan as the the way he was in the first half of the original movie. The rogue, the adventurer, the brave warrior, the knight who fought in the Battle of Nockmar. THAT’S who Kit idolized.

AIRK, looked up to Madmartigan the King of Tir Asleen. He looked up to the man who supported the newly established Queen Sorsha rebuild a city that had been frozen in time. literally. Airk watched this man respect, support, ground and LOVE his wife in every which way possible. watched him stand up for her when people are being too critical of her, support her decisions and make her see reason when she was being stubborn, and generally just be there for her. He is their rock, their pillar, the one who’s always there supporting and loving and caring! And sure, Mads told them stories about how he was in hey days of being an adventurer, and Airk liked them. He LOVES hearing about them but he liked the Madmartigan that he is experiencing, better. He looked to his father as the way he is right then at that moment. The man that he sees his father be everyday, is who Airk wanted to become when he grew up. Airk wanted to just like his father as he was when he was raising them.

So when Mads left and never came back, not only did Airk see how much it affected Kit but he also saw how it affected his mother because he didn’t just leave his kids behind he left his wife too! And broke it Airk’s image of him as the pillar of their family. 

He. Left. It didn’t matter WHY he did, he just did and he never came back. And THAT was unforgivable for Airk. Kit is a bit more selfish, she felt like he left HER specifically. Airk hated how he abandoned his family. Hated how him leaving hurt Sorsha and Kit so badly, in different ways sure, but made both of them retreat into themselves. 

So what did Airk do? He promised to himself that he’ll be better than his father. 

“... Just be the best brother, and husband, and father, and son that I can possibly be.” 

If his dad is going to abandon them and not do all those things that Airk thought was the best things he ever, then he’ll do it himself. He will take over where he thinks his father failed and do it BETTER. He will be the best son that his mother could ever possibly want. He will be the best brother that Kit could ever possibly need. He will be the best support for his family to prove to himself and his father that they never needed Madmartigan. He will become the pillar that his father couldn’t be.

And by the mother’s did he do his best. Airk did his best in EVERYTHING that Sorsha asked of him. Be there for Kit when the abandonment issues become a little too much. Tried his best to be the bridge between his mother and sister because holy fucking shit are they more similar than they would ever want to admit and by the mother’s Airk is the only one who was doing all the listening during their shouting matches. Airk has spent so long doing his best to fill that gap that their father left. 

The sad thing is that they never notice his efforts. and when they do, they disregard it completely. 

When he said “Kit, I’m not him.” when Kit said that he’s just like their father, that hurt him way more than he let on cuz they never notice his efforts. His mother never notices how hard he tries. How much he wants to be that stable presence for her. Everything he does is never enough, never what they need. And yet he still tries again and again cuz even though they never notice he still loves them even though no matter how hard he tries, he will always be the second fiddle. if not to Madmartigan, then to Kit. 

He’s frustrated and disappointed and angry. angry at himself for not being good enough, at his father for leaving, at his mother for always dismissing him, at his sister for comparing him to their dad. 

He needs somewhere to let out this frustration but unlike Kit, sword fighting does not sound like a good stress relief for him. so what does he do? he looks for any kind of stress relief in every corner of their kingdom. and he found it. by sleeping around. Because man does it feel good to be wanted. If not by his mother or sister, then by someone. anybody who was willing to give. to give to him instead of him giving. to be appreciated even just for a little bit. to be depended on by someone. anyone. after all... no one ever expects anything from him.

Very convenient that no one loots ruins in the Willow universe.

I mean yes, Nockmar castle is probably not at the top of the loot list and all, but still.

While I'm not sure what it means I keep thinking about how Graydon is being stripped down. The first scene we see him boy is wearing L A Y E R S. Crown, mantle, cloak, tunic. Even when he leaves for the adventure, its with a fur mantle and coat, plus his shirt and bags (and horse).

He was stripped of his mantle a while ago, his horse, then lost his coat in Nockmar. His shirt was cut open and he spent 1/2 the episode (ep4) showing off his chest scars.

We start ep5 with him in just his (newly repaired?) shirt and his one lil bag.

THEN he gets shaved by the Bone Reavers! He has been stripped bare, why?

What does it MEAN?
