One of the biggest issues of moving to England as a person who is Ukrainian AND neurodivergent is not knowing how to answer the small talk question of "how are you", but today I was reminded that Ukrainian blessed me with the phrase that roughly translates as "living is hard but dying would be a pity" and can we please naturalise it so I can use it all day every day

I’m watching bit compilations of the Fantasy High campaign(s) for Dimension 20 at the minute, and I’m watching one for Junior Year ep 16, and I love …

There’s a bit where some of Kipperlilly’s motivations for hating the party are revealed, and it’s revealed that she’s jealous that Riz’s father was killed, because she wants a cool and tragic backstory and thinks that her lack of it has kept her back at the adventuring academy while they had an advantage. And Siobhan, as Adaine, without batting an eye:

“And her response to that was to be mad at us, and not to kill her parents?”

To which the others respond … Okay, Adaine, that’s the sociopath test! And just general slightly spooked humour.

And I just love that … You can really see the girl who on her first day at school had a fight break out on top of her and wound up killing a lunch lady with a ladle. You can see the girl who did have to kill her abusive father after he casually murdered her sister. This is all coming from trauma, but she puts such a casual … Like, girl, get with the program on it. There’s such disdain for Kipperlilly whining about it instead of actually doing something.

I love that it is genuinely mostly a joke, she’s not seriously advocating for murder here, but it also does say quite a bit about Adaine. About her trauma and her pragmatism and her lingering perfectionism and her rather enforced nonchalance about the potential necessity of parent murder and her distinct attitude that if a problem presents itself, then you fix it, doing whatever you have to do in the process.

There’s just a sense that, you know, if Kipperlilly has decided to be evil and has decided that she’s fine with killing people, which we have proof she has, why is she not going with the logical solution to her problem? If you have decided that you’re fine with murdering people and that morality is no longer a stumbling block, why are you not doing the most efficient thing to solve your stated problem? If you’re going to be evil, be better at it.

Adaine would be an absolutely terrifying bad guy. And also probably needs more counselling.

nothing hits like that first ally beardsley season finale nat 20. that prompocalypse moment. way before anyone knew about ally's dice magic, just a casual "can i roll for a nat 20 and then be alive" and of course brennan says sure because what are the odds of that happening, and the look on everyone's face, the look on brennan's face, when they actually get the nat 20..........like every beardsley finale nat 20 rules but truly nothing will ever come close to the high of that very first one

Thinking about Adaine's (unreasonably) giant orb.

Belief is such a huge theme in fantasy high, not even just in the sense of Kristen's religious belief. Like yes there's that, there's Helio and Yes! and Cassandra and her doubt and her struggle to believe that something/someone is really there looking out for her, and there's the way she believes in her friends and herself in the meantime (healing Riz and trusting him/her friends to save her in Sylvaire, her philosophers teaching her critical thinking so she can trust her own judgement) but there's also like. Spring break I believe in you, and the way Bill's belief in Fabian's ability to write his name on the face of the world shaped him as a person. There's also Adaine saying to Aelwyn "I believe in you sometimes" after saying she doesn't believe in gods. There's Fig, and German shepherd mode, saying "I've got you. Believe in me. Trust me and I will look out for you" and struggling to sign an agreement with herself because she doesn't believe in herself, but believing that Gilear is something special. There's Riz, and his belief, his absolute conviction that his friends will always be there for him, like when he decides to save his dad in hell and the final thing he said when his decision was made was "my friends will find me". It's Gorgug, not knowing where his friends are in the forest but believing that they'll make it to him, leaving a message behind to help them get there.
