stumbling.

the light goes out.

a dog barks.

a door slams.

kiss me goodnight.

(a parent's love)

accepted anger.

volatile cynicism.

voluntary amnesia.

pretend.

A Day To Remember - The Downfall Of Us All

[raticalshoez]

Was thinking of my post about dream teams and got really invested in whatever Unrequited Hate has going on

[demigods-posts]

me personally. i wouldn't have gone after all the olympians at once. you're biting off more than you can chew here. all you would need to do is take each olympian out one by one. and then convince demigods that once enough people stop believing in a diety, that diety ceases to exist. which is not a lie. and you could use the death of pan to back yourself up. sure, you'd be in it for the long haul. but chess isn't meant to be a quick game.

Downfall has only just started, but already I'm deeply curious what Bells Hells reaction will be to seeing it play out. I've mentioned before that I suspect the dislike or outright disdain some of the party feels for the gods - most notably Ashton and Laudna, but also Imogen at times - is in part a product of the gods being so distant as to not feel like real people to them, and therefore being easy scapegoats.

It’s easy to see the mortal victims of Ludinus and the Vanguard as just that: victims. The Hells have met them, have been them. They have not seen or felt the gods suffer in the same way. Laudna even went so far as to blame the gods for mortal deaths and suffering after the solstice, even as the gods are the ones under attack. They feel uniquely abandoned by the world, and it's easy to blame these distant, powerful figures for their hardship. Certainly much easier than to see the mortal systems that enabled their harm, or to actively seek improvement on their own.

But to see the gods now, not just as people but as mortals, with all the flaws and vulnerabilities and fears of any of the Hells, with loved ones of their own and the same desperate sense of self-preservation as any living thing, will they be able to hold onto the disdain that they’ve clung to for so long?

your blatant bloodthirst seeps amongst veins,

supporting visceral atrophies,

and an atrocious desire for gain.

your envy lies green,

paling and sickening to your core,

for this discomfort, you are keen,

there is nothing more that you adore.

the bodies in the river sink densely,

unaware of the presence of brothers long lost and cold,

lips turning ghastly blue so intensely,

above the ripples, it is felt, so callous and bold.

these bodies are burning,

a mutilated carcass left blackened with ash,

a fire fed solely by your desires left churning,

a sword drawn from your hip, ready to thrash.

you bare witness to your empire,

a world filled wholly with fallen men,

who drew their weapons to build you higher,

only for your rage to reign again.

so now as you lay here with nothing,

bar a hint of apathy and of terror,

you are left with the craving for crushing,

amongst the rubble and the burning carcass of misjudgement, resulting in grave, grave error.

Ganondorf literally setting everything on fire in the name of ultimate agency and control, rejecting all compromise and all submission and abusing other people's loyalty and devotion to him and his own humanity in the name of that absolute agency... and ending up caged and controlled and chained and puppeteered over and over and over and over and over and--

hey, you there! fellow watcherina!

reblog this if you love ryan, steven and shane, and their art. if you appreciate all the effort and care they've put into their creations over the years. if you are rooting for them. if you see them for the human beings they are. if you remain a fan, and will continue to support watcher!

I wanted to speculate on how long the Downfall episodes will be by the third, but honestly, at this point I just presume that if Brennan's showing up to a miniseries on the Critical Role channel, it's a bygone that by the end of the run there will be countless injured and dead and any remnant of fandom healthy sleeping habits will be among the fallen.

theres something incredible in terms of symbiotic symbolism for the betrayer gods and the primes. notably between asmodeus and serenrae is like. "your existence fuels mine. without you there is no meaningful victory for my domain."

in the face of despair, hope must be the strongest its ever been

the stronger the hope, the harder the betrayal sticks the landing

Respectfully, but a character can be and SHOULD BE allowed to be more than one thing without it being considered "contradictory", "retconning," or "negative character development."
