Hunter, Climbing Through Darius' Window At 3am: Is Four Followers A Lot?

shoutout to benson and dave for getting the funniest possible backstory they could've had

just something dumb. big huge fan of cool sweet awesome toh characters and their stinky skrunkly boyfriends (this is about gus/matholomule and willow/hunter. i will not be accepting constructive criticism)

also you cannot tell me that mat-“i do it for the drama”-holomule is not a theater kid. he would love hamilton

It’s so messed up realizing the Elktaur is just as much the General as he is the Nowhere King; And that the General is just as much the Elktaur as the Nowhere King is. So when he’s singing that last lullaby before his death, keep in mind that’s also the General who is crying and accepting his fate, arguably, as much as it is the Nowhere King. And so I guess it’s easier to pity the Nowhere King and JUST him, while hating the General… But the Elktaur truly is both and thus the most mixed.

He suffered, but only because he himself was willing to inflict that suffering upon another, specifically himself; A poetically literal form of self hatred and cruelty. Karmic but also very much not. The Nowhere King’s tragedy came as a result of the Elktaur’s willingness to be cruel to another to get what he wants, and I am haunted over that. It’s easy to divorce the General from the Elktaur, but I really think one shouldn’t; And likewise, it probably isn’t a matter of the Elktaur being split into different halves, but ones purely identical in all but body.

The General did not take more conceit while the Nowhere King took more self-loathing, they were both equal and identical ratios of the Elktaur’s traits, the difference really is circumstance. And that’s gonna keep me awake at night, because it essentially is two AU versions of a character at war with one another; Like if there were two timelines where the Elktaur turned into just a human, or just an elk- And then they met!

The Map of the Multi-Plane, glimpsed briefly in Episode 9. Designed by the incredible Hugo L Cuellar

So far our characters have only visited Plane 7 (Earth) and Plane 10 (Necropolis) but we have caught glimpses of a couple of other if you're truly eagle-eyed.

hiiiii i made a picrew !!! i would love it if anyone who makes one reblogged with theirs :D

Darius could have said, “Nope, I am sorry Eberwolf, but I have do what’s best for the many,” and kept attacking despite what Belos would do. But he didn’t. He stopped instantly and fell right back into line. Really reminds me a great deal of him not wanting to help Eda pull Luz out of Belos’s mind until he found out Hunter was in there as well. Darius really says, “We follow the plan until someone I love is in danger, and then the plan means shit.” 

Imagine your 800 years old crush suddenly visiting your ghost city and you need to act cool and mysterious but actually you’re just screaming internally at high volume

What actually happens to Beefleaf in Canon?

I feel like there are a lot of misconceptions about what happens to Beefleaf in canon. Most of this misconceptions are due to the deceptive way in which the story is constructed, which has the objective of increasing the perceived terror leading up to the confrontation against Black Water, to maximize it during the very confrontation and, in order to do so, temporarily gives the reader false information about Black Water, that is rectified later in the story, sometimes even after the end of the Black Water arc. Some of these misconceptions are actually encouraged by the author as a mean to create fear in her characters, before being disproved.

Due to the structure of the story, what actually happens in canon may be lost on a first reading, but it becomes more obvious during a second reading, when one can revisit older scenes, knowing He Xuan’s identity and motivations.

In this meta I will examine:

When does He Xuan substitute the Earth Master?

Xie Lian’s deduction

Ming Yi’s Face

When does He Xuan discover about the traded fates?

Xie Lian’s deduction

Why did He Xuan infiltrate the heavens?

What did He Xuan want for Shi Qingxuan?

The escape from the Water Master’s palace

Shi Qingxuan’s corruption

He Xuan hurting Shi Qingxuan

Was He Xuan really going to trade Shi Qingxuan’s fate?

The MDZS parallels

About He Xuan’s characterization

He Xuan’s goodness and his fight against tyranny

He Xuan’s diet

He Xuan’s bearing

The “Not your best friend” gag

As this meta’s focus is on misconceptions, Beefleaf’s romatic troping won’t be examined in here, unless relevant to the meta’s scope.

So, let’s get right into it!

Don’t Think of the Blue Eyed Ghost

Don’t think of the Mother’s mind 

Rotting to Brine 

As the little shoes,

Dusty from Time

No longer smelling of sweet Lime,

As her family burns thyme

Don’t Think of the daughter

Who has  always Loved Her Father,

With dry tears 

As  her destiny leered 

Don’t think of the middle child, 

Who’s rage never burns mild, 

With a heart cold and wild, 

And who has seen more than vile

Don’t think of the youngest

Who’s eyes shine the Loveliest 

With scars over all his heart,

Who has once fallen apart

Don’t think of the Father, 

That went Farther

And guilt haunted him,

And choked on him to the brim,

Don’t think of the Blue-eyed Ghost,

Taking over a Black-haired Host,

With Smiles as Sharp as Wires, 

Wrath as harping as Fire
