[multi-fandomdisaster]

You know, I'm rereading the wiki fandom page for the Hatchetmen to brush up on my Hatchetfield history and it says that Willabella Muckwab apparently used the blood of the Hatchetmen's children to write the Black Book??? I mean, I remembered that the Black Book was written in blood, but YIKES-

I'd find her guilty of witchcraft and sentence her to death, too! Heck! I too would make it my sworn duty to rid the world of magic if I believed that very same magic had driven a woman to murder my children in order to write a demon book of all things! I'm with the Hatchetmen on this one!!! XD

i have a theory i must share

willabella muckwab seduced one of the hatchetmen and had a daughter, and then down the line pamela foster was born and she had lex and hannah

lex and hannah are descended from the first disciple of the lords in black and someone who sought to destroy any trace of them

lex and hannah have both extremes in their dna

lex and hannah are the black and white

Bob Metzger has done nothing wrong ever. He's just taking care of the woods. Yeah he plants people. So what? We all have our quirks. He deserves to be carried around by his family, he's my grandpa and he's been alive for more than a hundred years. Just let this old man do his gardening.

This, So much this thaaaaank youuuuu

I love how the Metzgers are not the good guys. In a more simple story, the characters going up against the deeply evil Church of the Starry Children and by extension the Lords in Black would be a force of good. Flawed, perhaps, but ultimately characters you root for.

But Hatchetfield is far more complex. The Metzgers, and possibly the Hatchet Men overall, are prejudiced, ignorant about much of the world, and have a history of burying innocent children alive for the simple crime of being different. One of their defining credos is literally "the innocent must suffer."

It's just so much more interesting, and fitting for a universe of tragedy in which most of the musical installments conclude with the end of the world.

Swordbreaker

(Apologies, I might be misremembering things)

I said this in the tags of another post, but I wanted to dedicate an actual post to it.

To put it simply, I think that Chihiro is going to destroy the enchanted blades.

(Heavy Spoilers Below)

It’s still early in the series, but Chihiro has seen how his father’s intent with blades have been twisted by men like Sojo, and heard Hiyuki’s opinion of how the blades are too powerful to be possessed by anyone except the Kamunabi.

That, combined with the fact that one of the swords has already been irreparably damaged, makes me think that eventually Chihiro is going to come to the conclusion that the blades are just too dangerous to be used. He’s already realized that his father ultimately put something horrible in the world, even if it ended the Seitei war. Even if he collects them again, it’ll only be a matter of time until their users die or the swords are once again seized by malevolent forces, so it’s probably for the best that they are disposed of permanently.

As for how…

Well, the Enchanted Blade are supposedly indestructible, but we’ve already seen him destroy Cloud Gouger, which means:

A): Enchanted Blades can be destroyed by other Enchanted Blades. We’ve been told (I think) that before Sojo and Chihiro, the Enchanted Blades were never raised against each other in anger, so the vulnerability was never exposed. 

Or, the more intriguing answer…

B) Enten was designed to destroy the other Enchanted Blades. We’re told early on that Kunishige spent years creating Enten, after the war. Now, this could be for another reason, but perhaps, Kunishige, knowing the power his swords held and the destruction they could unleash in the wrong hands, sought to destroy them once and for all…

And ultimately, that’s how Chihiro might be able to honour his father, laying his father’s soul to rest by destroying his tools of war, and ending any further conflict over the possession of the blades.

Life in Utah

Thinking about how the only two people that say "daaaaady" like that are Sherman, and Bob Metzger, the guy who most certainly killed Sherman's dad. Does Sherman remember voices he heard when he was just a few months old? This is horrifying and very sad.

Edit: @deathbutwithfuzzyanimals pointed out that Grace says that too. Maybe it's because they're unhinged, maybe it's an overbearing parent theme, I just think it's cool. Also I need Grace and Sherman to meet.

[ STRADDLE ] (hatchetmen) ((Fawn and Max? Idk thinking about the them))

[ STRADDLE ] :     sender straddles receiver @hatchetmen

Max had grown to enjoy his "enrichment" time out of his seemingly perpetual torment in the black and white, yeah it sucked that nobody seemed to miss him at all, not even the people he had considered his friends in his life, but at least he got to hang out with Fawn and their siblings and they didn't seem to like totally hate him. He thought despite being her father and uncle's plaything that she actually was fond of him, something that he got proof of on this day out. He and Fawn had just been hanging out in her room, sitting on the bed chatting for a bit, but surprisingly he soon found Fawn straddling his lap. He hadn't had this kind of physical contact for months and already he could feel himself getting excited. Another sort of forbidden fruit moment for him, the daughter of one of his tormentors who probably wouldn't give a shit if they fucked but it still felt like it was something kinda taboo. "Oh shit, really," he asked, his hands almost instantly going to her waist as if it was second nature to him. He hadn't been secretive about the fact he found Fawn attractive, but he didn't really think anything would happen between the two of them.
