God do I love how Ame and Suvi’s conflict is representative of the wider conflict between Witches and Wizards. (Long ass post incoming)

First lets look at the conflict in Chapter 2 about trusting Sly’s predictions of the conclave compared to other Citadel diviners. Witches are about community and connection. Ame trusted Sly because he had a connection to Wren, no other diviners in the Citadel had Wren’s trust that we know of just Sly. Wizards on the other hand put their faith in institutions and hierarchies. If Sly’s predictions are contradicted by those of several other diviners with more influence in the system, then his predictions should be discarded. (Also keep in mind that Sly was relegated to obscurity because his predictions were largely about things that didn’t line up with the Citadel’s priorities)

So we get tension at the end of Chapter 2 because Ame (through Wren) has a connection to and trusts more in Sly as an individual than the Citadel’s diviners as an institution. Suvi on the other hand hears Steel say that a group of diviners might have contrary evidence to what Sly predicted and instinctively puts her trust in the institution over the individual.

As a result Suvi and Steel dismiss Ame’s concerns about Sly’s predictions until Ame gets so worked up about the issue that she takes drastic action to return to Toma and prepare. Of course Suvi is right to be upset with the manor in which Ame leaves, it’s incredibly reckless and could have lead to several civilians (and Eursalon!!) getting injured or killed. However she fails to see her and Steel’s roles in pushing Ame into immediate action. Steel never took Ame seriously, and Suvi largely agreed with her.

And now we get to Episode 25 and Suvi’s scathing tirade against Ame.

A big theme of this arc seems to be how both Witches and Wizards look down on one another. Steel has her line about Witches seeing Wizards as “devious, paranoid, and buffoonish,” while Suvi blows up on Ame for “that smart ass tone about Wizards.”

And you know what they’re right. Witches do look down on Wizards.

I find myself wondering how Ame, Witch of the World’s Heart and the steward of humanity, could NOT look down on Wizards. The Wizards of the Citadel may be the brightest minds humanity has to offer, but they use those gifts to fuel a seemingly endless war with Ruve and Gouthmai (a war that threatens the lives and homes of Eursalon’s family). The Citadel seems to glorify violence (remember in Chapter 1 when Suvi proudly displayed that she spilled blood on behalf of the Citadel?). We also know from Kalaya that over time the Citadel went from what was essentially a huge university, to a homogeneous and militarized society.

Thats without even mentioning how Steel herself proves the Witches assessment of Wizards correct! Steel concocts a plan for Suvi that is devious in its intentions, paranoid in its secrecy, and buffoonish in how it could undermind the meeting of the Coven and cost both Ame and Suvi their lives if discovered. While Suvi is lecturing Ame on judging Wizards she has unknowingly agreed to a plan that proves all of her assumptions correct.

Suvi is probably my favorite character in this campaign. Aabria absolutely BRINGS IT every session. I’ve no doubt that many of the things listed in this post crossed her mind and were intentional. After all, the Citadel is a defining part of Suvi’s identity.

Wizards exist in a world that does not take them seriously. We’re 25 episodes in and spirits and witches alike have constantly referred to Wizards in pejorative terms. It’s not hard to see how someone like Suvi, born in the thick of the world of Wizards would cling to the Citadel as the lone institution of the world that advocates for Wizards. Because Suvi is a wizard she is preemptively judged by nearly every witch and spirit in the story. So of course she’ll judge them too.

After all, wouldn’t you?

For The Tortured Poet's Department I present my newest ideas!

Obviously Suvi!

Next!

I feel like this is Steel towards Eioghorain!

Idk if this is more Grandmother Wren or Ame... both? Both.

Now Stone and Steel as "Cassandra"! Especially with Stone being a Diviner originally!

And finally! In our Pre-episode 1 reunion this is Definitely all of our PCs!!!

Inspiration for the future WBN musical episode!

Feel free to add as you reblog! This is how I imagine everyone is feeling at the end of episode 22!

The Wizard, The Witch, and The Wild One (Taylor's Version)

Ame - Bad Blood, Getaway Car, I Did Something Bad

Suvi - mad woman, This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things, Look What You Made Me Do, Out Of The Woods

Eursulon - The Man, Bejeweled, Long Live, The Archer

Ame & The Fox - I Know Places

Silver - ...Ready For It

Steel - You Need To Calm Down, This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things

Sly - Mastermind

The Fox - Anti-Hero, Look What You Made Me Do

AmexSuvi - Don't Blame Me

SilverxSuvi - Paper Rings, Endgame

Tfw you realize you’re so predictable a winning bingo card was made about you in less than an hour and there was never a way for you to win the game because you ARE the game

Where’s that post where someone was saying Brennan was probably stressed out during the entirety of his scene in “Pencil’s Down” because he was ready for it to be an elaborate scheme targeting him specifically? Because I’m pretty sure that’s the same shirt he was wearing so there’s a non-zero chance those were filmed on the same day, which is why Brennan was probably already on-set/available on such short notice. And since the set is still intact, that means this was filmed immediately before his Pencils Down scene and it is absolutely reasonable to assume he was waiting for it to be another elaborate setup.

since the cowboy and the samurai were both dying out in the 1800s i want an action adventure historically wildly inaccurate comic about the last cowboy and the last samurai teaming up BUT one of them is gay and the other doesn’t understand what being gay is and there are multiple comedic mishaps resulting from this

Okay, forcing the bad kids to take the last stand is not a trap to NOT revive them. That would be obvious to the whole faculty. The play is Kristen dieing for EVEN A SECOND!

Remember, she is the only cleric alive that is keeping Cassandra from reverting into her corrupted Nightmare King form.

If she dies during this combat, even if she is immediately revived, that could be the end of Cassandra.

The Bad Kids need to clean house next episode and keep that cleric ALIVE!

Apropo of a Reddit post, here is my casting for a Rat Grinders spinoff.

Kipperlilly Copperkettle: Aabria Iyengar. Loves being intense and bitchy in actual play.

Mary Ann Scuttle: Katie Marovich, obviously.

Ivy: Lily Du. Lily's niche on DropOut is being hot and mean, and she needs a real hot meanie to inhabit in the dome.

Oisin: Ify Nwadiwe.

Ruben Hopclap: Ruben is where it gets tricky. A lot of people on DropOut could play a good Ruben Hopclap. Grant could give us a great Ruben. Freddie Wong. Jacob Wysocki. Brian David Gilbert. All potential legendary Ruben Hopclaps.

In a sequel to Junior Year: Grant O Brien could be a great Buddy Dawn, but I'd really give this role to Ross Bryant.

In a prequel to Junior Year: Honestly, I think the best Lucy would be Oscar Montoya. I don't know why, but that feels right to me.

Seeing these two posts back to back makes me wonder how long it'll be before Brennan attacks Sam with a halberd
