#the baron of bricks

I’m so proud of both Pinocchio and the Cricket for their exchange in this ep.

Cricket explained he tends to approach Pinocchio’s problems with “let me make this better/brighter” mindset, and Cricket acknowledged that that mindset was not always helpful and sometimes hurtful to Pinocchio. And he apologized and said he would do better.

And then in response Pinocchio was like you know what? I’m going to do better too and communicate my needs to make it easier for us to have a good relationship.

And then they went and workshopped jokes together.

And you know what I think that is? That’s growth. And it’s beautiful.

Image Description: An image of Ylfa Snorgelsson and the baron of bricks sitting at an ornate table together to share a meal rendered in simple black, white, and red. On Ylfa's side, a black wolf's corpse lies belly up, ribs exposed, and she uses her teeth and hands to rip at a chunk of meat. On the Baron's side a wine glass is set face down neatly next to a lidded pot which he ignores in favor of messily pouring a massive bowl of a red liquid into his open mouth. Both their clothes are plain red, and both their faces are smeared with blood. The Big Bad Wolf looms in the background with a furious snarl. End Description.

a grisly communion.

I find it hard to articulate my full thoughts on the baron of bricks but what I'm about to say is gonna probably sound quite controversial. He had the same general objective as the princesses, just slightly different.

They both want to reverse the inevitable, due to being consumed by grief and pain, and take out their rage on the reality-transcending beings that they deem as having brought this pain upon them. The third pig sought control over the narrative and so do the princesses. As of now its still a little unclear what the full plan of the princesses IS, but we know they're going against their 'fate'.

I think a few of the readings I've seen on the baron have been... idk how to describe it, I guess shallow ? They all come to the conclusion that he was just greedy and an asshole and wanted to inflict pain on the wolf, but it's so much more interesting than that. I might be reading into things too much, but it's glaringly obvious that he was stuck in mourning and had been for years now. He's gained awareness over his entire existence and beyond and we don't even know how long he's had it. He knows he will always be the only survivor in his story and he feels *guilty*. He feels angry at the wolf but he also seemingly feels angry at his brothers, who died because they couldn't be bothered with building a well-structured house, but he can't allow himself to feel that anger because his brothers are gone and he loved them. It hurts feeling anger that will never end, and love that manifests as guilt. So, tormented by all the emotions he can't allow himself to feel, he directs his anger at the only thing within his reach. The wolf. He's cowardly and cruel, but it's all he has left.

I don't disagree with the party's decision to kill him, but this story is a complex one and everyone has their own perspective. The baron doesn't have the context Ylfa does, to him the wolf has only ever caused pain.

so what if the The Baron of Bricks is just the long lost brother of Baron from the Baronies actually. when then

[saphic-with-t]

People keep saying “Ok here me out though!!!” about the fucking Baron of Bricks and then not explaining. Like, girly what!??!!? Yeah I do want to hear you out actually!!! Explain. Please tell me what is attractive about this LITERAL capitalist pig! Brennan used the adjective ‘slimey’ to describe him!!! He was torturing an animal!!! He’s a weapons dealer! I’m attracted to some weird stuff (Glados, sans, Prince Gerard, etc) but this one is a lot.

In all seriousness I do want someone to run me through what exactly makes him attractive, please! Like sincerely. I am fascinated and no one is actually letting me hear them out in the posts.

Nah cause if I ever was killed I would want the person who cared about me the most to boil the person who did it alive for the rest of forever and receive cosmic power in a effort to bring me back and have it not happen to anyone else. Peter fucks my guy. 10/10 baby girl.
