you are cassandra. in the middle of being possessed by the spirit of your vengeful, undead domain and feeling the world split apart with the festering carcass of your ex-lover being restored to grandeur only so she can be devoured completely, someone familiar approaches from the deck of a flying ship in active battle. your vision is warped, you're barely conscious, you don't know how it's possible that you're still alive, the figure blurs further and splits in two. one calls out to you, the same voice that has been reaching out for you all along, the same voice that called out your name the very first time and brought you to life. you ignore her. the other - clothes a little tighter, some subtle makeup, a pair of bicycle shorts patterned with a flag not known to this world. she opens her mouth - her teeth are horrible. 'blimey', she says, and you feel again. you feel something that crushes against your bones and shocks still your rotten heart. something cuts itself loose from your chest and escapes with a virulent tear of pain through your throat. lightning, bright and sharp, gushes from your screaming maw to its true purpose, and then she's gone. it's over. 'blimey', it whispers into the ethos, a memory as much as a promise to the tragedy of a dying star that may die forever. but you feel something else, you remember something or perhaps you are only now recognising it that nothing can be done. something else that lived in that void of space, you think. nothing more than a collection of cells yet, and still the weight pushes you to your knees. two lines on a stick, you reason, perhaps not even a choice to be made at all. surely not a life to be lived, you tell yourself as the memory of possibility dissolves and the void envelops the very space that baby might have occupied.
'blimey', the whispers consume what's left of your aching heart. 'blimey', you echo.

people are starting to sympathise with the rat grinders now because they ARE the underdogs. they're outmatched by far and even if they're the villains people want to root for an underdog. they're weak because they were given the cheat codes and never learned anything because why would they?
the fact that this was almost entirely accurate with the exception of FIVE pullinh the car over all excited and KLAUS wanting to advance plot. you love to see it.
at this point i donβt even want klaus and fiveβs visit to the biggest ball of twine to be plot relevant at all. i want them to be roadtripping to somewhere plot relevant and they have to pass through Minnesota to get there and they drive right past it like
Klaus: we have to stop the car. right now
Five: what
Klaus: stop the car
Five: why?
Klaus: big ball of twine
Five: β¦ iβm not stopping the car so you can look at a giant ball of twine
*cuts immediately to the two of them standing right in front of the ball*
Klaus: you know, i really thought itβd be bigger :\
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.

i know this is likely an unpopular opinion since a lot of this fandom has religious trauma, but i would kill for some redemption for helio or some positive helioic representation. it'd be just good, complex worldbuilding if it were solely fiction, but since it's so referential to christianity that ally literally says jesus instead of helio on several occasions i think they either have to really differentiate it or maybe add some complexity to the current 'all 'helioics' are bigots, your faith is evil' angle. because in fiction you can do that, but real religions aren't that simple. im not religious myself, but there have been times where i've been in really bad situations and the most welcoming, caring people are pastors. there is a good side to christianity, and in freshman year kristen wasn't a bad person. she believed in all the good things those pastors did, she helped victims of human trafficking, she fought against her family's racism even before she met her friends. her family was horrible and she was indoctrinated into a cult with the harvestmen, but her faith wasn't bad. religious trauma is not inherent to religion, it's abuse that people use religion to justify.
since s1 i have desperately wanted a good character to be introduced who worships helio like kristen did in freshman year with love and acceptance because that's who they believe helio is, and i don't want them to be proven wrong. tracker didn't give up on galicaea after kristen told her what she was like in the astral plane and worked to change her worship, and i think it would be really interesting to see someone like buddy go tracker's direction with helio instead of just rehashing kristen's character arc.
