Anonymous asked: my favourite thing about stolen century is that I was expecting lucrecia to be like second in command or something and one of the more important roles but it turns out that she was just a huge nerd with arguably the least interesting role which is fantastic because it retroactively shows how far she's grown
something like this - the whole going backwards to tell the story thing - is actually a super awesome way to build up character/character development
i was actually thinking yesterday about how this is such a clever way for Griffin to handle things? bc by the time we get back to the present, it really WILL feel like THB have been friends/colleges to all these people. it’s not just ‘oh and now you remember y’all used to be friends!’ but leaving it at that, which would feel a lot more disingenuous.
The Stolen Century arc isn’t just a good way to make the story make more sense, but it’ll help the characters feel more complete and have their actions make more sense!
Like aw man I feel like I’m not explaining it right. We as the viewer were kind of in the place of Magnus, Taako, and Merle in that we didn’t know what the greater plot would be. We discover things as they do. At the moment they start remembering everything, Griffin takes us back through time so we can ALL kind of ‘remember’ all this forgotten information.
so by the time we get back to the present, it really will feel like we (and THB) just remembered all this important context for where they are, these people they used to know, what’s happening, etc.
that’s super satisfying to me!! it just strikes me as an amazing, thoughtful choice that aids both the narrative, the characters and their development, and the experience for us as an audience
