I've Said It Before And I'll Say It Again: Kristen Applebees' Character Progression In Fantasy High From

something about scar breaking the rules rerolling for hard on episode one, and almost hitting reroll instead of succeed later. the reroll sealed his fate on the first episode - he was at the mercy of the watchers, and his friends tried to help him solve their puzzle not realising that for once the fates had mercy. and when he is revealed to be the gods' favourite they turn on him, their pity turning to envy. the watchers isolate him through their perceived favour, and when he is isolated he fights to complete his task instead of rerolling his fate. he simply does what they ask because they're the only alliance he has, but even then he feels the call to reroll again. to get something different, something with friends, something where he doesn't have to hurt anyone. but he knows what rerolling got him, and in the end he settles for success.

'gay buddy dawn' this, 'buddy dawn gay awakening' that, can i introduce you to 'aroace, secretly glad for the excuse to be abstinent and single buddy dawn'?

i'm just saying a place where abstinence is seen as holy and is celebrated and in fact attraction is the sin? that sounds like a good place to be asexual without having to label it and face discrimination

Being in any fandom:

don't forget that pearl remembers the vindication of finally having a friend, and one that will make the ultimate sacrifice for you. of thinking everything was lost, of being the witch to scar's wicked, of resigning yourself to fight for blood until you are truly alone. the welcoming arms into victory that finally healed her aching heart. not to have to scratch and claw your way to the gates but to be invited in.

she saw herself in him and it drove her to make a sacrifice, and he saw himself in her and it drove him to stop her.

i haven't watched pearl's episode yet. but there's something to be said about the fact that she knew scar well enough to know that, when it was the two of them, he would have too much pride to accept a sacrifice.

she doesn't want to win, and she tells him at first before she quietly tucks that secret back into its shell after scar's indignant reaction to her first attempt at self-sacrifice. she lets scar forget about it as they kill gem, and then as scar kills pearl. at no point does she try to say here, let me give this to you. she knows scar, but she also knows the pain of an ending like that.

but she misses a few swings, doesn't she? her legs don't move as quickly to duck away from his arrows. and isn't that familiar? isn't that something like a cactus ring, with two unrelenting fists and two half-hearted ones: a fight with two unwilling participants, a fight that was over before it ever really began at the insistence of one of its patrons

pearl is all too familiar with the sting of sacrifice, but then on the other side of things... scar knows all too well the tragedy of gifted victory, doesn't he?

i don't know if this caption is a quote/reference but thinking about how trader scars was the first base to be destroyed, and it was never rebuilt. how he lived in the wreckage. the only things left standing were his walls and his monsters.

Brennan: If someone leaves the party or dies, the party becomes pass/fail which is not an option for you. You need to succeed profoundly.

Everyone Else: Oh god, what if someone dies?

Siobhan: If we kill one of the Rat Grinders, they don't get to go to college.
