thinking about how different the story would've been if laios and falin's roles were reversed.
if laios was the one who got eaten by the red dragon and falin is the one going back into the dungeon to find him.
the party would be a little different too (shuro would've stayed if it was falin as the leader)
they still eat monsters tho, but maybe not throw a big fit about it bc "well, if falin says it's okay..."
i feel like it would've put marcille's and falin's friendship to the test too. (i have thoughts and opinions about how marcille treats falin)
and how heartbroken falin would get when she slowly realizes no one really likes her brother.

love when parker drops from seemingly nowhere. not every ceiling has exposed rafters or pipes that she can cling onto or perch on, sometimes she must be pulling some kinda superhuman spider-man shit. it’s not a plot hole btw i fully believe she can do all that stuff, i would never doubt THE parker’s abilities

thinking about how the desperate attempt to cling to her childhood with speak now elicited mixed responses (scott telling her she couldn’t have a fairytale-inspired title like enchanted, romantic relationships with older men who took advantage of her inexperience vs the need to be america’s sweetheart), which led to a pivot to try to slowly grow up (hence a noticeable aesthetic change, more mature themes and sounds in her music, etc), only for that to be confronted with even more criticism (sit-downs over leaving the cursive fonts of her early albums behind, constraints to her sonic experimentation, scott generally doubling down on his control of her music because, in her own words, her success in pop with IKYWT/WANEGBT made him see her as a woman which felt threatening, a global slut-shaming campaign, the paula of it all). no wonder it led to the feeling that she had to double down on her maturation arc with 1989 to truly feel in control for the first time, which, in turn, tainted her memory of her previous two albums because they both felt constraining and slightly embarrassing compared to her newfound sense of liberation.
