Everyone keeps describing John in TAZ as a skeevy bussiness man but honestly from the description we were given of his past he sounds more like he used to be like a TED talks speaker who had a lovecraftian mind shattering epiphany and honestly thats way more interesting.
Tomorrow, Vice President Mike Pence will give the keynote address at the commencement ceremony at the University of Notre Dame. And because of Pence’s history of anti-LGBTQ and anti-immigrant stances and policies, some students are planning a massive walkout during his speech.
Xitlaly Estrada, a Notre Dame undergraduate, said in a statement the protest — set to take place during the ceremony on Sunday — is the result of Pence enacting policies in opposition to the Catholic faith.
“The participation and degree-conferring of VP Pence stand as an endorsement of policies and actions which directly contradict Catholic social teachings and values and target vulnerable members of the university’s community,” Estrada said.
Hell yes, Notre Dame. Do the damn thing. Take pictures, while you’re at it.
this is the last chance to defeat the Hunger, right? i’m pretty sure both barry & lucretia have said something along those lines, anyway.
but why? why is this planar system the end of the line? i’m sure the Hunger consumed plenty of them before arriving at the ipre’s world, and theres surely plenty after. so - and i don’t remember if this has been confirmed in any way yet - the ship must have been broken somehow.
let me remind you: barry fell out of the sky and died. lup is dead in a cave (presumably guarding her relic, and she couldn’t have been in there before the blast or else there’d’ve been no trace of her at all, just black glass - but this is off-topic). taako, merle, magnus, & davenport remembered nothing. lucretia said re: the relics’ creation that she was against it and was ‘overruled’. she had a holy symbol specifically to keep out lich!barry and, necessary or not, acting or not, she was basically shit-talking the red robes the entire podcast.
let me remind you: this is a ship powered by love and friendship.
so: this disagreement was enough to crack or sever the bonds they’d formed over one hundred years. one hundred fucking years. their soured relationship couldn’t fuel the spaceship, so either they landed and couldn’t lift off again, or the engine cut out mid-flight and they crashed. hell, maybe barry fell overboard. maybe that was the beginning, or maybe it was the end. either way they can’t escape this time - this world’s tech just ain’t enough. they’re stuck, and for the first time in a century they won’t live to fight the Hunger another day.
tl;dr; there was some major, MAJOR fucking falling out between the red robes and that’s what lead to a crashed ship and one very last chance.
Lucretia picked Johan… Because he’s the best musician.
She picked him… Because that’s what they gave The Void Fish on its home plane.
And the implication of that ending…
Is that eventually, it’s very very possible that… The Void Fish could let Johan’s Songs be knows throughout all twelve planes of existence. The ultimate form of remembrance…
