Okay my crack theory for Lucy’s god situation:
What if instead of dying Lucy’s god became an archfey and fucked off, forsaking all of their followers. I could see that as justifiable for a minor god—maybe you don’t want your personality and existence to be dependent on a group of people small enough for a really big hurricane to wipe them out. Maybe you want to try your hand at self actualization, which you can’t really do as a god. Whatever.
But that would still mean Lucy’s grades would be screwed for the year, and the whole group would be switched to pass/fail.
Whatever god they’re trying to bring back seems like they want to stay a god, but would also only have a single living cleric so their nature would be heavily influenced by who that cleric is, and could still be controlled. Bringing back an established dead god with living followers probably reduces the risk of the god immediately dying or completely sucking ass/not being powerful like what happened with YES!(?), and we know the Ratgrinders LOVE minimizing risk. And choosing a dead god that represents something Lucy is actually passionate about preaching and proselytizing would make her work as a cleric much easier for her emotionally than, say, switching to Helio and just going through the motions, and bringing back a god would probably look good on college resumes.
Idk, that’s just an alternative theory to Lucy’s god dying based on what’s been established this season.

88. Pie Noon.
All I can say is, thank HEAVENS for Gilbert Gottfried. He's a little ray of sunshine and brings a smile to my face every time in this episode. I kiss him, I hug him, I want to put him in my pocket.
This is a tricky episode to look at when you're trying to consider it advice for dealing with bullies. He tries to get support from his friends and they are all too scared to help. They tell Hare to go to an authority figure for help and she straight up tells him that it's his problem and he has to deal with it on his own. It's such a circumstantial problem that there's no way that this episode can work as an educational experience.
Also, I think it's weird that they go the whole episode talking about how Mike McNasty is bad because he throws pies, then in the end Queenie pies Willie! For no reason! Queenie! That's bully behavior!? What is this episode?!
It's a favorite but it also is just so ludicrous.

Ok you know what's kinda funny about "Jackson's Diary", or rather "plot twist-y"?
So, ok, imma be honest, when I started the comic I thought it was bl or lgbt or something. Be it the art or the description or the fact that everything I read is gay, I thought this was some kind of enemies to lovers/as magic stuff is going on around the school or something
I really thought the 2 mains were gonna end up together
And I wasn't the only one who thought that cause a lot of the comments were talking about it
But no. Soon you realize they're all very straight, exer is still in love with his ex girlfriend and Jackson kinda gets in a love triangle with exer's ex and the girl exer bullied last year. Also it's set in like- the 80s? Soo. They probably don't know what gay is. (Or they ignore it yknow)
But....
"Wasn't David bi in the canvas version?" said the comments "Yeah he was I think he liked Exer"
So then I'm trying to figure out if he's bi, and some chapters later he's literally making heart eyes around exer but like, in the background
And he's not that important at the time so I'm like oh ok great he's the comedic relief stereotypical gay character?
And exer is like... straight and in love with David's twin sister so nothing will happen right?
Jokes on me
Like 100 chapters later and this is Exer's reaction to David saying they're friends
The gay panic
Had me fooled there honestly
Also ok, I know my post is focused around the gay romance here, but like the comic is really interesting I do recommend it
Jackson goes to a new school and he is the only one who can see some kind of "green magic" messing around with his daily life
Shit happens, he makes friends, he gets into love triangles as I mentioned before (not for that long, thankfully) he gets into fights and makes new friends again
The characters are all very interesting, I was gonna say nice, but then realized half of them are assholes, currently it seems like they're trying to be better people tho
And even though it's set in the 80s it seems most of the main characters were accepting of the lgbt ones (well ok so far 2 people know about it so yknow, ) the only assholes were some bullies literally called Rick and Marty who used gay as a slur or something like 50 chapters ago
Well, and I can't really say anything much without spoiling more, I've already talked enough about their sexualities I'm not telling you what's happening with the green stuff

thinking about the knot in billy’s stomach when he first sees the welcome to hawkins sign. his knuckles turning white as he grips the steering wheel that little bit harder.
thinking about billy knowing he has to go to a new school. where no one knows him. and he knows no one. him fidgeting with his ring as the anxiety starts to creep in.
thinking about the first night after the move. neil telling billy to unpack before going to his own room. no goodnight, just a cold look and a have this sorted by tomorrow.
the or else goes unsaid.
thinking about billy sitting on his bed. new house completely silent after everyone’s gone to sleep.
thinking about billy looking around the new bedroom. bare. cold. not his.
and not only does he feel overwhelmingly homesick.
but he’s also trapped. with neil. with neil’s little ‘family’.
he feels helpless. and he feels small.
and then it hits him.
and he can’t control himself anymore.
and the boxes around his room turn blurry as the tears start to fall.

Au where Cellbit kills Abueloier, and in an attempt to save his marriage he makes a deal with Satan to bring him back before Roier notices.
So now Satan is his roommate and he's supposed to help her acclimate to the mortal realm, even though she seems to know what she's doing (becoming a pop star).
