In retrospect though Eda being pals with everyone in school really is sooo insane.
Like I've talked before about Eda and Raine just being down to fucking murder Darius, no need for any discussion, let's fucking kill this guy.
But there's also Perry announcing on the news that Eda's about to be petrified, and sure, he needs to be professional about this and not announce to everyone that they were friends in school. But he keeps up with "Here's the latest Completely Impartial News on the Owl Lady Petrification," as everyone around him is calling for Eda's release, and his other old friend Lilith is also out of nowhere seemingly about to be petrified.
Eda sees all three Blight kids together in Adventures in the Elements and asks who the fuck they are, instead of recognising the distinctive looking children of two of her friends from school. And then once she does know who they are, is still perfectly content to let Edric and Emira be eaten by the slitherbeast while she runs off.
Total fucking lack of response to each other on pretty much all sides. But also Any Sport in a Storm reveals Darius follows Raine, Lilith and Alador on penstagram, and Eda's replying to Raine's posts to tell them to stop ghosting her, and listen, I'm not saying they're all still stubbornly following each other on social media and getting more willing to kill one another with every new post they see, but Eda should definitely have known whose kids those were, and if I was scrolling past Odalia's obnoxious mommyblogging every day, I might also consider the upsides of letting two of her kids get eaten.
Woo finally able to post the piece I did for @raedazineofficial! :D I'm really happy to have been a part of this project and I adore the end result- thanks so much to the organizers and other creators who made it possible!
TOH fandom tell me someone has written the AU where Raine asks Eda to marry them and Eda is all “Oh I would love to, but technically I am already married” and the gang has to go down to Gravity Falls, Oregon, to get Stanley Pines to sign the divorce papers.
