grand finale ! BITB!! rand is the spiral. kian is the corruption. rolan is the stranger.

#my post #THIS IS MY FAVORITE ONE I THINK. THE ONLY ONE IM 100% CONFIDENT ON #rand is spiral because. dude #hes already losing it before the campaign starts bcus hes spent this whole time mourning his sister blaming himself and trying to figure ou #what the fuck even happened to her. hes deep in research into the occult and cults and conspiracies. #he thinks the mindflayer from dnd is real and in his hometown. #and then of course. the fucking ending. 0 sanity he doesnt know if hes real if his sister is real if hes dead or if any of that happened. #hes the spiral. #kian was very nearly also the spiral but in the opposite direction. where instead of not knowing what was real he was the one doing all the #lying. HOWEVER hes the corruption. #from the tma wiki- the corruption is the 'fear of the feelings of disgust revulsion and the things that might evoke such feelings' #he doesnt tell anyone he never made it as a rockstar that he has a boring desk job. he couldnt. how could he possibly tell them. what would #they THINK of him. kian stone who gave up on his dream and is playing pretend? he couldnt. #ANDDDDDD rolan (/the hive) stranger!!! #i very much almost made these guys the corruption because theyre bugs. and while that does fit i think theyre more stranger. #the fear of the uncanny the unknown the unfamilliar. #the wearing the faces and taking the places of people theyve killed is also such a stranger thing. #'come back to us as our rolan' but he couldnt because he never was. #its worse that he got away and tried to differentiate himself. at the end of the day he was still just a part of the stranger and couldnt #escape being pulled in to the show. #also?? something something. the stranger is associated with performance and bees communicate through dance #also thinking about how originally corruption was Hive and Filth. i think if itd stayed like that they couldve been Hive.
