the croaking ramble. Spoilers for s3 ep245

omg. OMG OMG IT WAS A LIE THE EGG ISN'T REAL????? WHAT

WHAT

my poor baby scra, he is fucking shattered 😭HE was an ORPHAN, and HE was going to rescue a ORPHAN EGG. BUT NOPE IT'S NOT REAL WTF WTF WTF OMG???????????

i was really looking forward to seeing Ky and Scra start to prepare for a baby of their own, and just navigate their way through parenthood, this chapter was truly so heartbreaking, i cant imagine how scra feels! 😭😭

I really loved how protective Ky was of Scra and the egg tho, hwdbehfb love him <3 best boi <3 best character <3

i am hoping that scra pulls an Anastasia tho once he goes to the Raven hideout and hopefully learns about his heritage

10/10 chapter even if it broke me a little 🫠

HELLO IT IS I! THE ANON FROM 3 YEARS AGO!!!

And oh my god I can’t believe I was right. It was actually intentional.

the story that inspired this ask was that I was telling a friend about this story and she asked if it was called “the croaking” or “the crow king” and I realized that they sounded too perfectly similar.

The fact that I guessed the 3 year reveal is joyful enough, but the fact that the reply was *shrug* is even better LMAO!!! Good respond. I didn’t suspect a THING!

You don’t understand how I RAN to my friend to tell her we’d guessed it when the episode came out. 10/10 would spew about how ‘the croaking’ sounds like ‘the crow king’ again.

Are you aware that 'the croaking' sounds almost identical to 'the crow king'. Was this intentional or a happy accident?

*shrug*

never gonna be over ghilan'nain. she's an amoral artist using the flesh as her chosen medium. she's piloting her dead wife's torso centaur style. which is such a tasty glimpse of the madness of her grief. my god. ghilan'nain was the most sensitive of the evanuris, and she couldn't make halla now. she's been imprisoned for millennia in a blighted palace, trickling horrors from a wound in the veil, a wound of curiosity and arrogance, watching her family all become mortal and perish one by one as their archdemons die. so she took the mortification of flesh literally. she is a workaholic who denies her own grief and buries herself in her great work: crafting godawful little freaks in the name of science. the world she lived in is gone entirely, and none but she and elgar'nan and their jailer remember it, and she doesn't miss it, and she doesn't want to go back. andruil raised her up to godhood (delusional) because she was so good at making fucked up guys for her to kill. but the mother of halla couldn't make the halla now, and she still uses their iconography as her symbol. the 'void' armor drove andruil mad, and ghilan'nain kept it and experimented with it and put it in her own body and in her family's bodies and their dragons and their enemies and their subjects and seeded it into the earth to grow her strange bitter fruits, a labor of love. the evanuris' bodies were made from lyrium, the blood of titans; the blight's song is the screams of the titans they killed to make their lyrium bodies, which she then blighted! on purpose! wounds seeping into wounds. it's what got them locked away, why they murdered mythal, but it is pure creation, possibility, it is so easy to mould, and she used it to graft her body onto andruil's headless legless corpse and elgar'nan -- her forever roommate last of her kin god of tyranny -- is so very tender with her. and he is so so so very tender with her. she has a mouth in one eye. sometimes she is a big head in the clouds. she didn't need to do the torso thing at all because she can inexplicably float. she's gonna use me for parts.

Latest croaking update ramble. Spoilers for s3.

1. Okay! We finally learned what the egg was! And Raven lore drop??? AHHHH

2. Uncle Eldwode I luv u, pls pls PLS don't turn out to be a bad guy :(

3. The gang is getting split up??? Ajdyduddjsueud, sad :( but also excited to see more Crow Lords/crow noble families since I assume Uncle is taking us there! And Ky & Scra bonding??? Ugh, them planning for a baby??? 😭💔 That will be cutest fluffest shit all right 😭

4. What are Ree and Farrah going to get up to I wonder. 🤔 With Ky and Scra out of the picture for the time being they're rlly only going to have each other for the next 5 years.

I genuinely can't tell if they'll get back together or not and I actually really like that! I think they still rlly care about each other, but could they make romance work again? Would they even be willing to try?

5. I sense a time skip. Not in rn, but in the near future
