took a break from literally all of my responsibilities to immortalize this scene in drawing because that was insane

Ngl there is something deeply poetic about K2 being created by the elven oracle, wielder of the sword of sight, but molded from the saint of mystery and doubt, saying “god blind me” and getting unmade by the corrupted clouded goddess of twilight and uncertainty. I could not possibly begin to tell you what that deeply poetic thing is, but it’s there.

I love how cunty Riz turn in the heat of battle. he's smoking, he gets Eugenia's vibes he says "good. we need you alert and awake" to a classmate doing meth. he truly released his inhibitions and felt the rain on his skin

[yourfatherjustinmcelroy]

also congratulations to riz for being The dragon killer of all time. kalvaxus and oisin's grandmother took that picture together thinking they were hot shit and little did they know centuries later they'd both get absolutely rocked by the same 4'4 goblin teenager with a briefcase and glasses. get fucked losers

[yourfatherjustinmcelroy]

No joke envisioned exactly this in my mind when it happened you captured it perfectly and I think I’m in love with you

Beautiful. Majestic. BAM!

Okay I realized I should maybe have elaborated on the "she constructed her party to mirror the bad kids" thing because I forgot that was a theory I made up in my head and not objective truth lmao

I was thinking about the control that she maintains on her life and the people around her, as well as her obsession with the bad kids that extended to long before she got rage star'd. While yes, her adventuring party did form on the first day of school like everyone else- they were not always like this. Ruben used to be an indie kid. Oisin used to be like, nerdy iirc. Surface level stuff we've seen, but there's a huge jump in personality that happens from freshman year to junior year. We saw it with the bad kids even, that was a whole thing in the marketing of the new season. I can just so clearly see Kipperlily, newly full of external divine rage, seething with jealousy and hate and trying to reconstruct something similar to what the bad kids effortlessly seem to have. And then she improves upon them in the clearest ways she sees fit. It's quite easy to imagine her feeling like shes constructing all these parallels between her group and the bad kids when in reality she's just pushing at things and grasping at straws.

Like, we can kinda break it down:

Their tank is quiet and sort of hard to read? Great, we already have that in the bag. Only thing is gorgug has an unfailing niceness/politeness... we'll just get rid of that in our new and improved version. And it worked- Gorgug fuckin hates Mary Ann and she gets under his skin in a way she doesnt for anyone else.

Their bard is an alt kid with a huge influence through their music? Easy. Ruben, youre a fuckin emo kid now. Sorry! I don't make the rules! Except I do. We're gonna do it like them but do it better. We're even gonna sign with the exact same record label. You will do what she did but better and to a higher degree than she ever did. And hey- Kipperlily wouldnt know it but god damn does Fig spend a lot of downtime fucking with ruben.

Their wizard is soooo fucking important, she's the ORACLE for gods sake... well fine. Our wizard is important too. An heir to a dragon hoard. Has family ties with THE same dragon the Bad Kids once tussled with. Great- similar and nerdy enough in text, and in subtext we crank up the charisma- sorry oisin you need to get charismatic now. A growth spurt doesnt make you muscular- time and energy does. Thats intention. Similar vibe for Ivy- Fabian is popular, rich, and a big fucking deal- so you need to become the same flavour of sociable. Aloof, popular, big idgaf energy. Constructing not their mirrors but their foils, perfectly matched wielding social convention. And it worked to different degrees- Fabian feeling pressured to seem cool in front of and trying to show up for Ivy in the first half of the schhol year. Adaine kind of having a crush on Oisin the whole time up until now, distracting her from any traps laid- nobody would suspect a thing.

Buddy Dawn feels clearer than any others. He is the life kristen left. He is the height of her former potential. I can imagine kipperlily clapping her hands with glee because oh my god its soooo perfect.

I feel like I dont have to explain the link between kipperlilly and riz- brennan does a good enough job of that.

Anyway, thats a very long-winded explanation of this "theory". It doesn't really change much in the way you interpret the story, its just a little bit of possibility to insert into a hypothetical backstory. It probably wasnt all her doing, since the rest of her party does have agency and is similarly united in their cause, I can see how they would kind of start emulating the bad kids naturally. But doesn't it totally seem like some shit she'd do? Something she would try to "mastermind" under the guise of being the "group leader"?

Anyway just food for thought, obvs u dont have to agree to enjoy the original post but just thought I'd put it in writing here.

Rewatching the first few episodes of fhjy because i guess i have nothing better to do and the way you can see how kibblespilly was supposed to be a counter to riz is so fucking funny. Its all there from the very beginning- the attitude, the tactics, the way she interacts with the party and everything- this is supposed to be riz's counterpart to run against him for student body president and have a terrible battle of wits and barbs

But in a twist that is perhaps THE most befitting to her ideal story of running against the boy she chose to be her antagonist, the intrepid heroes just straight up not taking the bait resulting in her instead having to go toe to toe against her idealized perfect rival's aggressive near-flunkie unsubtle chaotic friend is SO FUNNY.

Like I know some people are disappointed we dont get the riz vs kipperlily presidential whatever, I know it doesnt make tons of sense in that specific narrative way. But the fucking hilarious meta that even this didnt go her way is so funny. Because instead of rogue sneaking and behind the shadows plays and spy vs spy shit, we have just outward schoolyard taunts and shit like kristen exploding and jumping over the school and the exact kind of play that baits kipperlily into rage every single time and its so fucking funny. Kristen runs naked through the school and does party stunts and is STILL BEATING HER. She even clearly constructed her party to mirror the bad kids perfectly and craft each of them their own nemesis/counterpart and for the most part it like kind of worked EXCEPT FOR HER.

It must drive her fucking crazy that her cute little plot of rogue vs rogue didnt pan out at fucking all despite ALL the signs pointing to that making the most sense. This was something she just couldnt predict, couldnt mastermind. She got up onto that metaphorical stage for a debate and instead was met with a clowning act. Its so funny. I love fantasy high. Nothing you could have done would have changed this, fourdogs. You never had any power at all.

Every single time I strap in for a new season of fantasy high I think no way I’m gonna like this more than the previous season of fantasy high. No way they topped themselves. And EVERY SINGLE TIME. I am proven WRONG. Because if there is one thing in this life I am an absolute slut for it is the REVEALING OF A LONG PENDING MULTI-YEAR SECRET PLAN COME TO FRUITION. THE SCHEMES!!!! OHH FUCK, THE PLOTS!!!! God damn I love a nefarious little scheme…

“you didn’t see the storm coming? must not be a very good oracle” when the last oracle also died in a shipwreck. and adaine said the same thing about them in freshman year. i’m gonna lose my mind.

Am I like dumb or does it seem like everyone keeps forgetting what helio is a god of?? Like, he's not the god of the sun, that's Sol, he's the god of corn. He's a useless frat boy and hes the god of corn. Is it not lowkey starting to feel like everyone, in the dome and out of it, seems to keep saying Helio is a sun god? I get it because his name is Helio which means sun and "heliocentric" means going around the sun, but it's gotten to the point where I'm genuinely wondering if they retconned it so that he was more of a sun god? Because the whole thing about the Applebees family and the dark summer and people leaving the church like- that would make sense if it was sol but helio?? Or does everyone who worships helio worship sol in kind of like a trickle-down way? Im very confused and the terrible machine I have for a brain keeps nagging me about this, can anyone tell me if I'm being foolish?

SPOILER WARNING FOR EP 13 OF FHJY

They better keep Lydia disabled because if I lose that representation I will literally go into a rage myself. I know the curse is gone, but like. Lets get her physical therapy from all the intense stress her body been under. She'd definitley still have muscle tension and pain, and honestly, probably massive headaches too in my mind! Going from constantly enraged to finally calm to sone extent is certainly whiplash of some kind. I need to see a disabled person, even in a magical setting, get the help or aid they need, and still not have all the problems magically be gone. Like. I got a rollator recently. It MASSIVELY helped me and my mobility and my pain. And yet im still bedbound for today because my legs gave out on me this morning. Even if a lot of her symptoms are eased, its a big fucking process to get back to a healthier state. And I need to see that. I hope that Brennan will continue the good rep and the listening to people who know more about the minorities hes representing in his shows because if he takes Lydia Barkrock, disabled MILF away from me, I will go into a forever rage in her stead.
