ok, i’m gonna make a lotta connections here, but trust me and follow along
griffin had the plot figured out pretty damn well by crystal kingdom. he had determined:
who the seven birds were
that the red robe was barry and one of the seven birds
red robe/barry was in love with the red robe in the cave to whom the umbrella belonged
this cave red robe was lup, taako’s twin
that barry/red robe was a lich, so it is VERY LIKELY he had also planned that lup was a lich, bc i doubt he ever intended to permanently kill taako’s sister
i would like to posit that, based on these decisions, griffin had also:
realized the OP-ness of two in-control, immortal, undead characters
decided that he needed some sort of way to keep that in check
introduced the idea that barry (and by extension, lup) are not infalliable and can lose control as a way to check that
determined that, since this would no longer matter if/when lup and barry are reunited, he needed a stronger, larger control over their power
created an arc based around the dangers of messing with necromancy and introduced a character and deity whose purposes are to prevent reanimation and protect the sancitity of life and death
so what i’m getting down to is that kravitz/the raven queen were introduced in order to show that the constant resurrection of the ipre and, more specifically, barry and lup’s lichdom have consequences
let’s suppose that i’m right. let’s suppose that i managed to guess the actual line of thought behind the crystal kingdom arc and kravitz’s insertion into the plot.
then can you imagine griffin mcelroy’s fucking face when justin announced that taako, brother to two liches, was going to romance the grim reaper
I’m confused…so Blaire White is a pathetic human being for pointing out that regardless of political differences or opposing views we shouldn’t destroy friendships because that is petty and insincere?
I’m sorry, but that means that would mean I will never trust anyone that subscribes to radical liberalism or radical conservatism. Why? Well only because that means that you can easily write me off for simple discourse and for someone who has been through a system since the age of six, in which love is not only hard to find, but nearly impossible to genuinely believe exists at times…you only further the scarred idea that trust, loyalty, and love doesn’t exist.
I hate insincerity. I hate people who betray my trust. I despise those that manipulate my loyalty. However, most of all, I can’t, on a conscious level, put into words how unfathomable my disdain for people to drop others because they don’t agree about a view on something. I can’t explain how, to a person that is that mentally scared, how scary and inhumane that seems.
Then again, this is humanity we’re talking about…something to lose faith in for time to time, ne?
I could’ve just used simple Logos, and apathy but it seems people of this day and age comprehend feelings more than simple critical thinking. I dunno…maybe because it’s easier and gets us fucking nowhere. 😒
The reason why is because people like blaire white think that our very own existence and right to live are political opinions rather than things that actively effect thousands of people. if someones idea of a political opinion is to strap me to a chair to electricute my brain in an effort to “fix me” (see mike pence conversion therapy) then yeah, im gonna end the friendship right there.
somebodys gonna take the “socializing in a friendly manner with the FBI agent monitoring me” too literally and make a whole rant about how it’s actually really horrible that we’re humanizing and undemonize the fbi and it’s creepy big brother schtick and half of the website is gonna feel guilty and embarrassed for laughing at this joke and will avoid posts that even mention the fbi and the other half are gonna send death threats to the op of the original post and they’re gonna get driven off of tumblr saying some shit like “I’ve realized how toxic and unwelcoming this website is I need some time for myself” and then months later somebody’s gonna point out how it was a coping mechanism form of humor because we literally can do nothing about the fbi monitoring us and then everyone will feel stupid no matter what side they took and we’ll all silently agree to never bring it up again until five years from now in one of those “memes from 2018” posts
i just imagined orcs getting into fights over how their wife is the biggest, most beautiful with the sharpest teeth.
“HOW DARE!!! THROG’S WIFE SHROKKA IS 10 FEET TALL, HER TEETH BREAK BOULDERS, HER BEAUTY SHAMES THE SUN”
Ok, but this fight, but the two speakers that are aggressively declaring that their wife is more beautiful… are two female orcs that are married to each other.
they try to prove each other is better by feigning being unable to smash rocks in their bare hands and eventually get to being very very very gentle. like a reverse 1uping contest.
