"this event is cute but it has nothing to do with natlan" TO YOU. i understand the themes and messages
#personal stuff#delete later#AUGH.#me and my natlan / alien space theories.#but yeah. some very prominent themes in this event#the first with the frogs and squirrels.#the idea of a ''calling'' that can't be completed. unfulfilled ambition that results in fading away into obscurity#raises some interesting questions wrt visions and the visionless. thinking about zhiqiong's letter again#and it makes me think. how many stories about vision bearers dying have we actually heard?#there are masterless visions and stuff around but like. apart from kazuha's friend's death and vennessa's vague Ascension#where did all these masterless visions come from? where are their stories?#and the concept of contests and trials and champions with the upcoming nation of war.....#SPECIFICALLY the line that every champion was the ''price'' that the frogs paid -- thinking hard abt neuvillette's vision story#''when one so gifted completed their duty... the gift the gods would receive in return would be more abundant still''#that line still haunts me. what the fuck does that mean#the second with fate and one's destiny being preordained -- the toys asking if we're a fairytale are we even real?#fits verry well with the idea that every person's fate is predetermined by celestia.#like if we have a destiny to fulfill then is anything we do of our own free will?#thinks about the little witch and the undying fire calling stars the heavenly strings by which humans are bound!!!!!!#with mavuika's fate talk at the end of the teaser i have a feeling we'll be hearing more about that#especially with the premise of the constellation metropole quest being ''a dragon is stealing stars from the sky''#natlan and dragons. stars and fate.#and the last one is THE alien space connection with the toys embracing the idea of leaving this world to see a world beyond#the muratas and their obsession with space exploration. liben's line about other worlds. come on. come onnnn.
