Love her, Kennel-lake Handkerchief

Obsessed with halos atm

we've all talked a lot about how infuriating it must be for kipperlilly that riz is too busy to be her nemesis this year but i think we're overlooking the fact that riz very much picked his own nemesis in the rat grinders and its not kipperlilly. that little man fucking hates oisin

The wolves are killing members of their own pack

I would like Lucy to be revived and the ratgrinders reformed for one sole purpose, and that is so Kristen can see a tall lesbian and (jokingly, light heartedly) flirt with her and Lucy would laugh it off and then Kipperlilly would expand to the size of the sun with blind rage.

Kristen with linecook deli guy energy of just rizzing up any pretty girl in their peripheral: Hey beautiful!

Lucy, friendly and of course not taking it seriously: haha stop.

Kipperlilly:

Riz is a little freak and I love him

My theory is that Kipperlilly Copperkettle exists because Brennan saw the wonderful crazy in Becca Scott’s eyes during The Seven and decided that Penny Luckstone needed to be a villain.

This is very speculative, but I'm suspecting Kipperlily is using the Ethereal Plane to spy on the Bad Kids and if I'm right I might have figured how she got found out by the rogue teacher!

First, let me explain my paranoid thoughts about the spying. Since ep 3, we are aware that Kipperlily is hearing their conversations, even if we don't know for sure the extent of it. She, just like Riz, must have a crazy stealth modifier + reliable talent, however I don't think she's relying only on that.

So, there's a scene in ep 4 when the Bad Kids roll for perception to spot Kipperlily. Kristen casts See Invisibility and Fabian rolls a nat 20. Brennan describes, only to Fabian, that although he doesn't see Kipperlily, he feels the "twinge of some kind of sense". Very creepy. That implies that she's there but cannot be seen. She could be invisible, however I don't think that's the case because an invisible person could still be perceived through hearing or touch. Also, Kristen would have been able to see her because of the spell.

With that in mind, the paranoid goblin that lives inside my brain is convinced that she's using the Ethereal Plane to spy on the Bad Kids. The Border Ethereal is perfect for infiltration and spywork, since you pass through physical objects and watch everything in the material plane without ppl there perceiving you. There are a couple of ways to access the Ethereal Plane, with spells or items, but I have no ideia abt the specific method she might be using.

Her being in the ethereal plane explains why Fabian, with his nat 20, didn't notice any physical indicatives of Kipperlily but still felt a presence, like some sixth sense. Now, Adaine did use her Third Eye so she could see into the Ethereal Plane within 60 feet and still saw nothing. But that doesn't mean that Kipperlily isn't there since there's a very easy way to circumvent Adaine: Non detection. This is a third level spell that hides the target from divination magic - for 8 hours they "can’t be targeted by any divination magic or perceived through magical scrying sensors". The Rat Grinders, long time haters of the Bad Kids, are for sure aware that Adaine is a divination wizard, they would be fools to spy on the party without casting Non Detection first. She's the motherfucking elven oracle!

Okay, now about the rogue teacher. In ep 3, Siobhan theorizes the rogue professor is the ghost teacher. I think she's absolutely right! We know most teachers of Aguefort and even if the ghost one was among those we havent seen, the Bad Kids would probably have heard about them if they were teaching something like ranger class. It's plausible that the reason for the party having no ideia who they are and not even passing by them in the halls is that the ghost is the rogue professor. After all, no one knows who the hell they are, it's the whole point of their teaching method. And for a ghost it would be really easy to go undetected since they can travel through the Ethereal Plane, beside the insane stealth.

Indulge my conspiracy theories for a minute. Rogue professor = Ghost Teacher and Kipperlily can wander in the Ethereal Plane, the plane of ghosts. Even with the advantage of being on the same plane as the teacher, it would still be a nightmare to find them since they are a pro rogue. In fact, Kipperlily didn't achive that: the rogue teacher found her.

But how did she manage to have the professor find her? I'm sure it wasn't an accident, she's too calculating for that. So, I started thinking about what would I do in her place and came up with the stupidest ideia. It's utterly ridiculous. But it could totally work and the strategy seems kinda Kipperlily's style.

Remember the Ghost Steak? The one Fig tried to eat when she invaded the teacher's lounge in season one? It's the ghost teacher's lunch, and Brennan reestablished its existence in ep 3 when Adaine used Ethereal Sight, explaining that the school wards are porous enough to allow ethereal travel and other stuff.

So if I was Kipperlily, my dumbass plan would go as follows: invade the teacher's lounge through the ethereal plane and hide inside the fridge. It wouldn't be a problem for me since I'm intangible and can pass through stuff, plus the other professors wouldn't see me even if they opened the fridge. Inside, I wait as long as needed, until the Rogue/Ghost Teacher gets hungry. They finally open the fridge to grab their snack, only to find me looking at them from inside the fridge like a lunatic. Mission complete: got found by the rogue teacher and aced junior year!

It's so mundane and stupid and that makes me more convinced that's exactly what happened. It's too funny to not be true.

Before the storm❄️🦋🩵

I love me some doomed by the narrative yuri🫡 frostkettle nation rise up✊✊

ive seen so many people being like 'how could riz be in kipperlily's files on the first day that feels way to early" but elmvilles a small town, elmville has 1 middleschool i believe and if he was the smartass breifcase kid in middleschool that was pressumably a teachers pet then id understand why kipperlily would have a dislike for him before high school.

i mean it fully still doesnt cover why she hates him so much but i think it certainly makes sense

(i fully may be tripping and onto nothing rn)

I raise my voice when I tell him I love him!!!

feeling insane about kipperlily copperkettle and lucy frostblade. brennan what do you MEAN she was kipperlily's best friend. what do you mean she was "the only one who 'got it'". what do you mean she was the only one on kipperlily's side about keeping the high five heroes as the party name. brennan when i catch you brennan.

kipperlilly: you're getting unfair treatment!

fabian, who was run over twice by a car a few days ago: Ok

Icicles don't soften when they die, so why should I?

In my perfect world Riz and Kipperlilly, after the Rat Grinders have been revivified and turned good, find out they work fucking great together. The only problem is the still can't stand each other at all.

I need them on cases together, working in perfect harmony, figuring shit out and stomping their enemies hard, all the while unable to sustain a conversation without at least one of them getting unbelievably annoyed.

Kipperlilly gets the second room in Riz's office and they spend entire nights there talking through cases.

They hate each other but they love spending time together. They're worsties, they're frenemies, they're partners in crime to be feared by everyone.

the high school experience in zero words

man, if kipperlily hates the bad kids, i bet she fucking LOATHES the seven, who canonically have a cross-grades adventuring party (which seems actively discouraged given that almost every other party is formed freshman year first day), gamed their exams to stay together longer, were sent on several quests assigned by aguefort himself, and, when the time came that they would have HAD to break up to comply with the rules, they got to skip the last stand entirely and went on a quest basically custom-made for them to find the superintendent and graduate early together
