The fact that Luz gets her mandatory Big Protagonist Power-up from shaking hands with a demon-looking creature and that instead of the classic angelic/luminous power-up she gets the feral brand is so appropriate, it might be my favorite thing in the whole show.
It also feels like such a middle finger to all the satanic panic assholes, the witch makes a deal with the devil to beat the puritan's ass LMAO.
They sillied a little too much
What I love about Jimmy being out first every single time Is that it's not even that he is so bad at the game, he is just so fucking unlucky at all times. Like, the best example I can give is Last Life, where he spawned with two lives, which is in itself very unlucky, didn't gain any and still he died seconds before Mumbo who spawned with 4 and in the same ep as the others who had more lives than him. Like, he barely ever died in some epic battle where his PvP skills just weren't good enough, it's always some shit like falling from somewhere, traps not meant for him, accidently looking at an enderman. It's always a chance he dies first and the chance somehow is always against Jimmy. Like I know we love calling Jimmy bad at the game but for me it's much more interesting that his skills are genuinely not the main reason he dies first. Bad luck omen as well as death omen he's not fucking beating those allegations boys
Not gonna lie, I think the lack of fandom consensus over the symbol of Martyn’s victory makes a lot of sense in-universe.
Martyn won by being independent. He lied, betrayed, killed, and prioritised himself. He knows this is a death game, is fed up of it, and goes for it.
This isn’t some sappy poetic end in which love and friendship win. We don’t get a coherent continued narrative of the sun, the moon, the stars because Martyn took that narrative thread and chopped it. He wanted to win. He just wanted it to end.
Martyn is the sea, everchanging and salty. He’s also the woods, fresh and green and lively. He’s Mars, a warrior for his red planet. He’s a meteor, crashing and burning. He’s everything all at once, like how he goes everywhere and meets up with everyone. He’s everything, but at the same time, he’s the void. Space. He’s nothing.
But then again, he doesn’t fit in. There’s no poetic end that everyone can instantly agree on. It’s divisive. Martyn caused that.
don't worry y'all, there's another silly
oh. there's an unreachable desert on the other side of the border of the limited life map. aha. yeah. im normal about that. no symbolism about never being able to go back to something yet never being able to escape it, always just outside your peripheral vision. nothing of the sort there. aha.
fuck. can i just say something. travis kelce gets on stage at the eras tour and swifties cheer. when he shows up to her shows, he’s seen as a supportive boyfriend. but taylor swift is shown on screen at the super bowl for 5 seconds and the entire stadium boos. the president of the united states even posts about it. they say she’s “ruining football”. if you can’t see the double standard here, you are part of the problem.
I tried!!!! Inspired by absolutely stunning dance scene from this animatic - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgPYshUbk9g
the wicked movie teaches important moral lessons like "be bisexual in college" and "don't trust politicians" and "if you push someone who's in a wheelchair without their permission, someone might throw a bench at your head with their mind"
