The finale from a new wish was missing something.

It is understandeble that project hazel gets saved for the next season since the built up where dale actually invests into c,w is missing. The anti fairys are the perfect villain where some extra panic is missing because we know they will never actually succeed in ruling fairy world forever. So the writers introduced magic built up back as such a stakes riser. This is not working because:

1. We never saw anything that indicates death before so it is a obviouse a ratcon. Even other fairys who have no godkid never showed any built up before.

2. It makes no sense. Why would the anti fairys Kill their counterpart. Their are litterly the last enemys who would Profit from that. This makes the whole plan look stupid. And why is a built up even working if the magic is shut off from the fairys. You cant have both.

3. The faces are to stupid for such a dangerous Situation and takes away all suspence we built up. You are dying for gods sake dont make it a joke.

But what else do we expect from a blow up into confetty. It was never meant to be sirious so it is hard to show it in a diffrent light.

My Idee, simply switch into magic deplition.

The story is that hazel says, that it is stupid that all their magic only comes from the big wand considering that their are magic entitys. Wanda reviels that fairys contain some magic called live magic which is still active no Matter what. It makes Sure they stay young and immortal even if they lose their wish magic. Otherwise they would have died long ago if really all magic was gone. ( aged up, killed by something without immortality, etc this never happened in the old serie but in other shows so i was always wondering why this is the case here ) This is magic they have no excess too, only a few fairys called fea are born with extra large live magic and are able to use it. They built the fairy councel. Cosmo than says that the councel is chosen only because of that, since it means they have a better connection to magic so they should make the rules. But the councel isnt doing much with that extra magic, since if you can use your live magic you can also use up your live ( they could have helped before since they are stronger than normal fairys, but didnt because of the risk of dying by using that strenght ). This beeing the only way a fairy ( or only fea ) can die. The Lore beeing that we now know who the councel is, why they are here and why they havent done much.

Hazel asks if she can be a fea with c,w saying only really few fairys are ever born as fea and they cant change that.

Of curse in the end battle when fairys ( in Reserve magic ) fight against the powered up anti fairys it is revealed that peri is a fea. The possibility of peri dying stays but is not something the anti fairys planned on. It also gives up a better show with peri vs irep instead off a slow death. Even better the family could actually help out by conwincing every other fairy to give their reserved power to peri so he doesnt have to use his live magic anymore. ( reserve magic in a wand should be transferreble right ). Ending in a big last magic attack. After everything is over peri is announced to have to join the councel with the future problems beeing: can he stay a godfairy, stay with dev, what is his new job ( making and changing the rules ).

This is completly new. We never had such lore or the possibility of our wishes effecting someone who could than change a rule into something better, based on what he learned. Even the possibility of remembering your fairys and timmy could come back throw that. It is a true game changer and not a retcon thrown in with no long lasting story effect.

I would love seeing dev, hazel, cosmo and wanda making Probleme wishes with peri than deciding what the rules should look like. They are After all the perfect Combo for loopholes peri can fix. Peri also already called out that they should change some rules in a previouse episode.

for ratcon AJ gonna get herself one'a them $300 haircuts

[princess-of-the-corner]

I just rewatched migration again and starting to think that the writers for that episode did not get the memo about the Juleka and Luka twin retcon or they decide to ratcon them back into half siblings immediately after Crocoduel.

Due to both how Bob Roth completely ignores Juleka during the entirety of the episode, and due to how the rest of the episode doesn't treat her like she's also Jagged's kid

Yeah and it's funny because half of Crocoduel was like "Oh Juleka is Jagged's kid too but she's being totally ignored!! Let's remind her dad to give her attention too!(ofc with it turning out that he /was/ things were just badly timed/miscommunication)" only for everyone to forget immediately

what are you excited about for next year: moving closer to where i work so i don't have to drive three hours every day from january to april 😭 but also we might go to japan or somewhere equally cool as a belated honeymoon! and of course ratcon wherever and whenever it is and other trips to see friends ❤️

[hopetorun]

11 and 18

11. Something you want to do again next year?

i would love to watch rat boy score a dramatic late gwg in a must-win game during the unholy rooting choices last gasp of the regular season but i don't think that's in my power to arrange. so instead i'll say that i really enjoyed the travel i got to do (a couple of hockey trips, family reunion, mountain weekend with friends, ratcon, beach in autumn) and i'm excited to repeat a lot of it, even if the locales are different from last year!

18. A memorable meal this year?

after talking about it for a while a group of people (whom i didn't know at all except for the one friend who connected us) went out to a popular retro steakhouse type place in brooklyn and truly feasted and it was all so good

[arborix]

Have fun at RatCon or whatevs!

You see the retcon info posts I did?

OOC

Fuck damn it I read that as "ratcon" and now I'm disappointed there's no rat convention screw me

Also nope but I'll check it out inna moment :)

[theonewithallthefixations]

I do!! I am reading Thief Knot. I have used a sticky note pack and a half on this book alone, my books are full of stickies. I half guessed the twist in ghosts because I know Milford. I didn’t know exactly what it would be, but I was pretty correct. It was, in fact, the chimney sweep. 

Favorite out of the main duo is undoubtedly Meggy. Out of all the characters, though, I must say Georgie. She taught me how to pick locks and I can pick locks now and it’s so cool. My record is one minute, but I’m getting better. 

I have Bluecrowne, but I got distracted and haven’t finished it. I did not know there was a book called the left handed fate, but I DESPERATELY want to read the ratconer’s commonplace book. 

I love how she figures out how to connect literally everything in THE most convoluted ways. 

Anyway, your turn. Your favorites. Ready, go!

Hi. I know what Greenglass House is. I love it. Would you like to rant with me?

*gasps* YOU DO?????

I would love nothing more!!!!! Isn't it utterly fabulous?!?!

I must know all your thoughts! Who's your favorite character(s)? Have you read Ghosts of Greenglass House and/or The Thief Knot and/or The Left-Handed Fate? Did you guess all the plot twists? (I know I didn't 🤣) Do you also now wish you could visit Nagspeake?

Thanks for the ask!!

Character portrait for a player, commissioned during the online roleplaying event RatCon by Ulisses Spiele this year. I used a process I have come to like for relatively quick character work without too much design necessary: pose a figure in DAZ, export to Blender for lighting, then use that as reference. Of course real people are still much better, what with their natural turns and tiny gestures, but this is the closest I currently have to a model shooting; I often find hunting down refs the most tiresome part of the process, and seem to spend all my energy on it so there's none left to actually execute the painting. This way, I have more time for painting!

This one shows my character from German RPG Das Schwarze Auge known as The Dark Eye here in the United States and is based loosely on the last time I was in Germany for RatCon.
