I'm sorry but Grian's last stand!!! hello??!?!?
My man took on a 3v1 and was fucking WINNING. He lowered all 3 of them by so much! He alone in that fight dropped Scott from 35 to 12 hearts and Gem from 49 down to 5 (+10 for killing Grian) (I've not seen Impulse's ep yet).
But like?? yes King pop OFF
He even fought until his shield BROKE, fighting till the very last minute!!
Say what you want about this man and his easy flightiness with alliances when they begin to break apart, but this man had a mission and he fucking delivered on it and we stan a committed man
He managed to hold his own against a very good PVP player and he fucking owned it
The tragedy of it? He knew he wasn't going to win. Of course he wouldn't against the best PVP player in the server, a previous winner, and Impulse who consistently performs well in these games. He was surrounded, taking and blocking hits from all directions, throwing himself into the fray when he could have just walked away and waited for a better moment. But no, taking and giving swing after swing, fighting until the very wood of his shield splinters and breaks. He wasn't expecting to win, he could never win with how low his hearts were, but he knew he could bring them part of the way down with him. He just knew Gem and the Scots couldn't be left with their abundance of hearts, and my man sacrificed himself to make sure other players had a fighting chance.
Without him, Gem probably would have won with her stacked hearts
I hope the community milks the ever-loving shit out of this moment
I'm not a comic person haha BUT. finale made me insane and I have this one AU thing in my brain that I've kinda kept to myself for like... a year or so. And this ending is finally bringing it out.
basically; y'know, popular fanon that the victors of the game are able to remember the past seasons? what if yes but no. what if rather than continuing into another game, the victor becomes a time capsule of themself. another version of them without those memories continue on in the game, but the version of them that won still exists in a kind of void. they're able to watch over the games similar to the ghosts, but can't interact with the ghosts. only each other.
lmao this was done in 2 hours or smth its very poorly done but i cannot stop thinking about this. if this doesn't happen next session i think i will implode.
(no pressure to the actual players lmao this is just my wild narrative fantasy) (AND HEY. I CAN WRITE MY OWN ALTERNATE ENDING)
