the last stand

sam i didnt even watch fhjy but can you tell me more of ur thoughts abt kipperlilly? any thoughts even stream of consciousness, she seems so teenager rage gone wrong im so fascinated by her

HJBFESJBFEKSFS THIS IS SO FUNNY OFC ok this is going to be a range of thoughts about the reactions i've seen from both ends of the rat grinder Discourse™

i think it's fine to be like, yeah, what kipperlilly's anger stems from is like deeply unsympathetic and comes from a very privileged status. i think being like "no that's normal for a teen girl" is silly. she is very much not normal she's a little upper-middle class brat and i love her. i love that she's so deeply distasteful and unappealing to people LOL. hate when female characters have to be smoothed down to be liked! like we don't have to downplay her negative traits when people are obsessed with male serial killers all the time etc etc

BUT i also think people forget that like... the bad kids were reading private thoughts she shared with her therapist (which is a massive invasion of privacy)! like of course it was fucked up. that's why she was going to a therapist lmao!!! it stresses me out that people are this vitriolic about a teen character who is pretty explicitly mentally ill and trying to get better about it but is being manipulated by a deity of rage and possibly her adult vice principal like. you don't have to LIKE her but calling for her to be violently murdered is wild to me. the bad kids had never even HEARD of her before this season and you can metagame about brennan not having invented her character yet all you want but in canon u gotta assume she was successfully keeping that rage down until she got got and is now being actively corrupted by a powerful rage deity lmaoooo

and like! she got her narrative punishment!! the monkey's paw curled and she lost her best friend she's got her traumatic backstory now!!! she's already suffering and at her lowest i don't need her to die (again!)

i think brennan is past the point of making teen characters irredeemable so i can only hope that the cast follows through on that bc i feel like redemption and healing from trauma is one of the strongest themes in fantasy high like i bawled my eyes out in every aelwyn and adaine scene. which is why it's really funny to me that siobhan is kipperlilly's biggest hater because i feel like she's a great mirror to adaine's spite and aelwyn's redemption..... like siobhan's characters are all very appealing to me because of their rage. god im hoping and praying they don't kill the rat grinders in the finale god bless

oh final petty thing i think saying kipperlilly's name wrong was only funny the first 200 times <3 love u all mwa

[frostkettle] sorrow & rage

the intrepid heroes reached new levels of Accurate Teenage Friendship tonight

Do you ever wonder what happened to [Sandralynn’s] adventuring party?

[ID: ten gifs from dimension 20′s fantasy high sophomore year of brennan lee mulligan as gilear faeth speaking to fig faeth offscreen about sandralynn.

gilear says, “she was taken as a replacement member for an adventuring party already active in the world. her senior year, she dropped out—got her diploma after the fact—to join an adventuring party. i don’t know everything, your mother’s very private about it but, there was a married couple within that adventuring party and they were older and more powerful adventurers. my understanding is that as a very young woman, fresh out of adventuring school, she fell in love with a member of that wedded union who did not treat her kindly and, when everything came out, she was ejected from that adventuring party and her future as an adventurer was dimmed. adventuring parties are formed often at aguefort and no one wanted her as a replacement and the person that had been her romantic partner, that had been unfaithful in that group, took great pains to smear her name so that no one else would accept her. i wanted to tell you what i knew but to forgive but only to say that sandralynn has always been impulsive and guided by her heart. maybe they’re unrelated, maybe she has done wrong by people and has also been wrongs, and one doesn’t excuse the other… but there is a fuller picture to understanding your mother, i think.” end ID]

Gorgug? Are you there?

True Sight

the best part about being an artist is making the shit you want for yourself so pls enjoy my poster sketch based on this weeks episode bc i literally cannot stop thinking about it

this is gonna take forever to render but it will be so worth it

suggesting your friend group all kills each other and calling dibs on one of them is fucking iconic and also peak 17 year old behavior

what 3 years of high school does to you

people are talking about the fact that kristen still has tracker’s name tattooed on her neck but i’ve never seen anyone mention that fact that ally also has the name of their ex girlfriend tattooed on their neck

We’re haemorrhaging money on the groundskeeper, Jawbone!

Some of my favourite little bits. This is like the first time i fully color them ^.^ it was fun. Took wayy longer than it shouldve LOLL

The "the average solesian meets 3 gods in their lifetime" factoid is actually a statistical error. The average solesian meets no gods in their life. Kristen Applebees, who has died so many times that she meets 2 gods per year, is an outlier and should not be counted.

his first ever call from his dad. have you thought about it

Nobody is as excited about the preview as I am. I have paragraphs.

the epic highs and lows of high school bloodrush...
